Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

I’m late to the party this morning. Been building chicken tractors that are more than a bit over built. More like coops on skids. Had our 3 year old grand daughter yesterday to help paint. Her favorite colors are purple and pink. I need coffee!

CUTE!

Ugh... got to love a worried mama's mind....coffee is hot.
Nothing livestock related but kid related and nothing that really matters in the scheme of life. But little league coaches with an agenda....one that doesn't include my son. the one sport he enjoys playing and he's being asked not to play with his peers but kids younger... by 1-3 years....

That's so hard, and I can see it so many ways. It's gotta be embarrassing and discouraging to be asked to play with the little kids. But though it shouldn't all be about winning, if one player really hasn't got a skill set equal to the rest of the team, the others are going to know, and they may not want to carry the weak member. "When you play the Peanuts gang, try to hit the ball at Charlie Brown - that kid can't catch a cold." Being made to feel like you are dragging the team down can be painful, too.I hope y'all can find some kind of happy outcome here.

So far, so good with the Holland Lop doe and her blended litter. All 6 kits had full tummies this morning. The HL doe is a Blue, bred to a Broken Black, so her kits being one Black, one Blue, and one Broken Black is totally predictable. The Dwarf doe is a REW, bred to a Chestnut, so her litter has a lot to tell me - one Chestnut, one Black, and one Black Otter. Gotta love it!

Hopefully the doe that is raising them doesn't know the difference Or at least doesn't care as seems to be the case.

Bay she is just too darned cute!

talking of kids.....

2 kids in trouble this morning. .. one talked back and one didn't answer right away.... so... I get all the toiltets scrubbed and next at least one coop cleaned.

I mean yeah... clean toilets (Spouse's idea on the toilets. .. I was going to get all of the coops clean)

 

[Bruce]

Hard core up there in AK!!! How "not right away" was "not right away" such that he deserved punishment?
I guess toilet and coop cleaning is a more acceptable response to back talk that a good

 

[Alaskan]

the "not right away" wasn't a big time lag... but his life is already over since he was caught bald faced lying. So... that kid gets no slack for a month.

 

[Alaskan]

the talking back one.... he is about to turn 17... -sigh-

 

[Bruce]

Boys!

Lying is not good. Tell him this:
"If you always tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you say".

17 Y/O testing the "almost an adult" waters I guess. Well, hopefully he figured out they are pretty deep ... and treacherous.

 

[Alaskan]

I think so.

And, I have some nice clean toilets as well as one clean coop.
