I used to have a birdhouse for Martins. I liked to watch them fly around in the afternoon. It was disappointing when we had to change out the house. The first one was wooden but it rotted out. The next one was sheet metal which we thought we were being smart but I don’t think the birds cared for...

DH is now in a normal rhythm and taking a nap and I am probably about to join him because we had to get up so early. I dropped off DD and my application before coming home. DON asked if I can orientate Wednesday. Just a little rest and I will spread some love around various farms. I am in...

I gave up waiting for the nearest nursing home to call me. I will return to my previous facility in the city but only part-time. It’s great to know people who will take you on no matter what…and my daughter. So seeing as I have to start from scratch with all new work clothes I will just sew a...

I guess it’s time to cut out a gi. I hope it’s an easy pattern. Now I have all my junk in DH’s old bedroom. He wants me to organize the shelves in the pantry. Maybe that won’t take too long 🤷‍♀️ I just got a missed call and I tried to return the call but the guy hung up on me instead of just...

So yesterday was HDD’s birthday but we going to the city tonight because we have reservations at an Italian restaurant they all fell in love with. Me too actually. It’s great. And today is middle child’s birthday and she wanted garden plants so I bought her $10 worth, plus the old man threw in a...

Well I didn’t get the position I interviewed for and I called my old work place on a pontoon bridge and my old coworker told me first thing…go put an application but I am already up for both new tender positions which came open yesterday. But I don’t think I will wait for them. I am tired of my...

Good morning. So gas prices are the big talk and all. I have been spending more time with my younger sister who sadly isn’t in good health. She doesn’t drive and I have been bringing her to Mass and to the grocery store. DH sends her fish. So Monday I was going up the bayou because I heard of an...

Oh I have had ducks and chickens brood together. Now that’s really wild.

I only like to be able to manage a broody by herself for several reasons. I don’t trust myself to remember to pick her up and remove all the eggs every afternoon for one thing and not all hens will accept me doing that the same way. Some will peck and start fighting. Then you might get a helper...

The pup and Trouble rough play and I guess they friends cuz no blood and tales wagging but I told the family what the suggestions from everyone point to and no possible contact when we are away. Only time it sounds like a threat is during feeding if Trouble really feels a snack is for her only...

My youngest DD has a puppy and we watch Trouble interact with the pup. It’s kinda funny sometimes when it looks like Trouble just slapped her across the room but we make sure she doesn’t get crazy. But we never left them alone together. Now I don’t guess we ever should

Trouble wasn’t adopted as an adult. She was a puppy when DH got her. I didn’t meet her until she was 3 years old. Basically I am currently just waiting for a few adult dogs to live out the rest of their days. It’s not exactly me who accepted them all. Some will leave with certain DD’s if and...

I had a beloved pet…a Dachshund mix but she looked pure. Her name is Duchess. Trouble nearly killed her but fortunately we stopped her before too much damage. She needed to stay overnight at the clinic for IVs and had to be stitched together. She recuperated but she was always afraid of thunder...

Trouble was raised on a farm and there was a time DH could tell her to catch him a drake and she knew what he wanted. Or if she was told to fetch up a rooster she wouldn’t return with a hen…it was a rooster. He would tell her to catch a rabbit and she would hunt them down and return with...

Okay so DH already had a dog before we got married 4 years ago….Trouble is an 8 year old Pit Bull. I had a few dogs but Trouble seriously hurt one so she literally had her own house until Ida ripped my house apart. My oldest daughter wants me to take my dogs back. A Boxer that belongs to my...

DH showed up and presented me with a ‘bouquet.’ He claims the field is full of wild onions and he wanted to give me this before they flower and get tough.

Someone may have trapped them. All our escapees seem to be thriving just fine until dogs, cats or other predators show up and snatched them up. The thing about pellets are the convenience and really they still very cheap meat when managed properly. But apparently there are people out there who...

DH’s farm ran out of pellets yesterday and I still had 6 rabbits left to feed so they all got a chunk of Timmothy hay and some plantain. I guess I can bring them pellets if Paul can steal from Peter. But seriously want to feed weeds all around.

DH spent a lot of time in the garden the past several days. I planted spaghetti squash seeds on a row he indicated would be good. Yesterday he asked me to bring out the okra, green beans and the other squash seeds but I also brought out the English peas. Down here there is a saying that you only...

DD got a call from our family charity case…..troubled teen and new adult who was taken from her parents by her godmother to try to protect and she went wild regardless. She wanted a place for her and her boyfriend to stay. I was opposed but DH allowed it. I insisted on separate sleeping...
