Did some finishing touches to the coop this morning. Brought in a feeder, instead of feed on the ground. Brought in a real waterer instead of a dog bowl. Hung their roost a bit more securely than just leaning it on the wall, cleaned up my mess and put my tools away. Glad to have that part of...
Finished closing in the coop yesterday. It was a little more challenging than I had thought it would be. Why, you might ask? Our weather forecast mentioned there might be widely scattered showers. I had been working for maybe an hour and was about an hour away from completion when the skies...
Absolutely!
This morning I'll cook extra sausage patties when i cook breakfast. They go nicely in the freezer and are easy to pull out when we're ready for breakfast. I do the same with bacon. Makes mornings a little easier.
Eggplant didnt happen last night. Salad for DH and I had some...
Oh goodness! So glad it's something that is treatable. We went through DH's brain surgery a little over a year ago. A good neurosurgeon is a wonderful thing!
I use the eggplant rounds as the "crust." Top it with sauce, cheese and pepperoni or sausage or anything else I can find. It's not pizza - but it's edible. You could almost call it a cousin to eggplant parm...but not exactly, lol.
Got the wire to finish the coop late yesterday afternoon. Got one section finished - and have two more to go. I'll finish it this morning and with a few additions like feeders and waterers and roosts I'll be putting chickens in today! Yay! Got up around 5am this morning and took advantage of...
ON my second cup already this morning. DH's blood sugar alarm went off a little before 5am this morning...but it was ok because it's the only time it went off all night! Woo Hoo! I went to bed around 9p and slept pretty solid except for waking up a couple of times for DH's bathroom breaks...
Coffee, coffee, I love you so
You make me fast when I am slow
when my get up and go has got up and gone
I turn to you - you are the one!
Need it this morning. Another night of intermittent sleep. I told DH that he needs to stop being diabetic. He agreed, lol. If it were only that easy...
Zero work on the coop/run project today - so far anyway. Did morning chores and then had to pick up grain and a few groceries to replace what we went through last week with multiple big family meals. Loved every minute of their visit and am more than happy to need to replace food that was...
Yum, on my first cup and it came to me! I've got more of the poem, lol.
Here it is:
Coffee, coffee I love you so
But you cost a lot of dough
Tea won't do it
It tastes like spit
And I need coffee to take a....
BREAK, ya'll! A coffee break!
I know that last line doesn't rhyme but... we are...
I made good progress. Two sides and the front have the bottom half fenced with heavy panels with 2 x 4 openings. The other side is already there and is solid sheet metal from top to bottom. The top half of the other walls will be covered with 4 ft vinyl coated welded wire with 2 x 3 openings...
HI and welcome from Texas! I have silkies too - mostly because of the beautiful pics that @Hinotori posts of her birds!
I also have goats and quail along with two LGD's and two English Shepherds.
Up and at 'em - it's trash day. It's gathered but needs to be wheeled to the road. That'll happen after this cup of coffee.
It's a perfect 60 degrees this morning! Whoop! It's been a long time coming but can't get too excited we're still headed for high 80's/low 90's today. It's ok -...
