BeccaOH: Update of just STUFF

[Quail_Antwerp]

Becca, if your a redhead, I happen to know a fine young man who might fit the bill.

If your interested, I think you are supposed to contact free.

OMG I just spit my rootbeer all over my pc!!!!!!!!!

Okay, what did I miss here???

I'm not redheaded, but I guess I could try dying it. Maybe. . .

You need to go read the Diary of Hardly in fun and games.

Umm, well thanks. . .but, umm, Hardly sounds interesting, but. . .I don't have time for dating games.

ETA: I have light brown hair. Never dyed it and doubt I ever will.

I talked to Hardly, and he said that he would admire to meet you sometime.

Not found one yet in all my 42 years! AND I already tried this farming site!

Same old thing....they look like a mudrail fence but want you to look like Brittany Spears. They drink, smoke and run the bars and want someone who will "love them the way they are and not try to change them". They love kids....just don't want to love yours. They have a farm but just want to date, not marry, as they may lose the farm that way. It goes on from there.......

Gee, thanks for the encouragement, Bee! But I honestly have come to the point that I'd rather be single living in the country with my peeps than be miserable in a relationship like too many of my friends are. There are so many bad matches out there that it scares me to try. So, I just keep telling God that if the perfect guy for me exists, then He'll have to plop him down in front of me.

You're quite welcome! I told God the same thing, as I feel just as you feel. As of yet, He has not created my match! .....or He thinks no man deserves to be this miserable, I don't know which! Lots of offers from dirty old men though.....

I had an Americauna chick with wry neck (maybe) that I isolated along with a runt from the hatch. They were around 4 weeks. Liquid baby vitamins seemed to help for a couple of days, but they both seemed to fail to survive. Lost the runt Monday and the other yesterday.

Gotta clean the brooder out and hope those guinea eggs hatch. Due on the 19th, but not pipping yet.

Went last night to get more fencing and more feed. The dollars keep adding up in this poultry venture.

Talked Aly into buying 4 pullets from me, which should help to free up some much needed space for me.

Took a break today at noon and hit the mall with a friend for the first time in a long time. Ahh, new shoes can make a girl happy.

Loving the rain we are finally getting in rather gentle doses, though it does darken the day.

A friend traded me 1.5 quarts mulberries for a dozen eggs. Got any mulberry recipes?

As soon as the weather breaks, I must. . .
- mound the potatoes with more dirt
- thin the beets
- finish the fence around second coop and put in 2 pop doors
- finish fence around expanded garden area
- put a pop door on other side of main flock coop for entrance to bigger yard
- put up gate and cover new chicken run with netting
- build a box shelter for the ducks with a nesting area
- set up movable fence so geese can pasture out under the apple trees (and so they eat more grass and less feed)
- finish 3 pens in new coop and kick ducks out of the space
- do major clean out and new deep litter in main coop
- put a real gate inside my main coop between walkway and pen
- finally hinge windows in the main coop
- butcher 4 older hens (never done this before :/)
- sell those adult guineas!

This weekend I'm going to a poultry swap. But I have no intentions to buy. I really, really don't need anything more in my yard! I still love the idea of American Buff geese, but geese are demanding attention getters and poo a LOT.

He just hasn't found one deserving of either of you. Although he could have one in progress . . .

Hey free, good to hear from you. I'm sorry if there was a mix up. I thought you and Hardly had all the details worked out on this thing.
Heck, I don't know what's going on. Just one of those deals that I'm caught in the middle of I guess. Again, let me offer my deepest apologies concerning this matter!

Just to cheer you up, I'll put you back in my will.
