Well it has been a day or 2!
I had my surgery on this past Tuesday 8/16. It went fabulous! I have had pretty much zero pain, have been active (nearly too much so) and have never appreciated having my own chickens so much! (eggs have lots of protein :D )
The nurses were constantly talking...
Thursday and Friday are supposed to be back around 115. Boo.
A friend of mine in Texas sent me a link where a small town had water pipes rupture, so they shut off water to the entire town for 48hours to refill the tanks - no notice. Rancher was on there pointing out the "pond" in his pasture...

Are you really having fun if you are worrying about money? Choosing to not spend it is one thing, but fretting over spending it is a whole other story. I am at this point in life - if I want it, I have the cash and my basic needs are tended, I get it. I don't do a lot of credit...
HAHAHA So my friend and I tried our hand at "30 minute Mozzarella" yesterday. :lau
About 3 hours later we had this... ricotta-looking -but not really- maybe some mozzie flavor if you think about it- cheese dip!
It tasted great - added some fresh rosemary, lavender, oregano and used it as a...
Now that it is only 101 I have been pouring on the outside work! I cleaned the chicken house, the chicken yard, the rabbit shed and the little shelter for Pat the bullied hen. I put all of that on the compost pile to cover up the fish guts etc from where the boys cleaned fish on THURSDAY. I...
*gasp* OVER Harrison Ford? Be still my heart, say it isn't so!!!
Now don't get me wrong, I can appreciate me some Daniel Craig too.... but somewhere in the universe it has to be illegal or blasphemy to say you are "over" Harrison Ford! :)
too late, OFG lol
Wow that is great, FF!! Did you see the one they hooked to the box fan?? I may have to look into this!
Took my niece from Texas and her hubby, 2 of my nephews and 2 of their friends fishing today. HEat index of 110* so of course the fish weren't biting much. I was...
My friend came over and butchered 3 of my 6 incubator roos... but I just couldn't let them have the 3 I kept, they are insanely beautiful and sweet so far. But what the heck am I gonna do now? LOL
I'm thinking I need to make a roo bachelor pad on the backside of my barn, under the big black...
My electric bill is going to cover the national debt this month. Oh my mercy.... 117* heat index. The frozen bottles for the rabbits nearly melted before I even got them to the cages! Poor old Skye had a hard time today. I rigged up a redneck cooling station for her - hanging a box fan from...
My dad gave Rio a sedative last night because he has been waking them up late. Rio makes a sad, sloppy drunk LOL
The hangover
And just in case anybody has decided they desperately need another Roo... Bocephus is becoming quite grand! You can barely see the gold coloring between his...
I had planned on trying to sleep more than 4 hours, but when I was in a half-awake state I looked at the weather channel and it was already heat index of 108... at 930am! So I got up and did the frozen water bottle, hose down the dirt in the chicken yard, hunt down Skye and wet her down...
LOL I have a Pat... but she is a beautiful she :lol: It's my bullied little buff brahma - when I call "Pat Pat!" she comes running like a plantation lady holding up her hoop skirts. She's a sweetie!
I know you must be horribly disappointed that you have that little hen instead of a roo, so...
I have lived paycheck to paycheck with days of doing without in between. I lived in a rotting trailer with no AC, no heat and no stove for 4 years in order to payoff over $40k of credit card debt. My mess, I lived with it. Now, if I have cash to do something I want , I do it. I'm not going to...
My chickens are in a chickenhouse made of privacy fence panels and we closed it in for the winter, the boards are still up. Today it was 104 at 10am. I wish I had somewhere cool to put them..... :( . I do set out a tote bin lid for a "wading pool" for them, and I wet down the ground...
