Good Morning!--Chat thread

[Farmer Kitty]

The chicks are finally moved to the coop in the barn, which has been cleaned and restocked with fresh shavings and their brood light. They didnt' know what to make of it at first but are all settled in now. I think I have five roosters (if looking only at those with developing combs and/or slower growing tail feathers). One white one with some black on its back went after another presumed roo (biggest comb, but not a very big chick!) with double kicks of the legs...same one that did that to my hand a few days ago. I know which one I WON'T be keeping!

I would say not!

I got a few weeds pulled today!
Been trying to balance my checkbook!
Decided if Mr. doesn't do the books, keeps using the ATM card, I am going to make him pay the bills!
YEA!!!!!!

Amy, mean roos can be fun!
(when you have step children)

Kitty, how many bales did you get?

 

[Farmer Kitty]

I have no idea how many he baled the other day. He is out baling now the stuff I raked today.

 

[homesteadingcowgirl]

barn is almost done-if only I didn't have to keep stopping to run to ball games!!!

good job Amy on getting your birds moved, I bet they'll be happier

all the stories of haying remind me to enjoy this time of no hayfield in this heat, though hopefully someday I'll be in that state again

Freaking nutty day today.

First off, it was raining. Did we get an inch? Nope. Only ~3/10". Great.

Second off, I had my driving lesson. IN the rain. Just great. Had to go downtown Edmonton, which was really jaw-clenching, white-knuckled driving for me. Yeah, and to make matters worse, I had to drive there in the friggin rain. My instructor didn't want to do another route and leave downtown for another date, no no, because he felt I was ready. In the rain? Oh please!!

AND, to top it all off, I nearly got schnooked in the rear by some dumb driver that was following too close, and because my instructor told me to stop the car instead of slow down when a firetruck was about to enter the intersection from God knows where (ended up being on the left). Lucky the truck was able to swerve to the left to avoid an accident, but not lucky for me because I got blamed for the close-call...even though he should've said to slow down!! (I was slowing down to stop at a red light anyway.) I didn't get mad at him, but it still was really frustrating because in the city there's like a billion gazillion things to pay attention to when driving. PLUS I'm a beginner driver which makes things even MORE interesting. Yeesh!!

Anyway, other than that I had a good day.

I guess.

hang in there wild rose, this too shall pass, just remember to keep breathing

 

[Farmer Kitty]

WRB-

If you were slowing down to stop at a red light anyway, then the guy behind you should have been too. Here with emergency vehicles one is to pull over and stop but, each country is different.

[Farmer Kitty]
