Oohh, I cant imagine the peeping of almost 800 babies, that would have been more than I could handle.

Well, I've always been a sucker for Polish, they're the first breed we raised for showing when my dd was little. And Welsummers lay such lovely dark eggs....
Ducks don't phase me, I hate the stinky little buggers when you're brooding them. Working in a store / caring for up to 200 at once...will cure your 'ducky love' quick-like.
Turkeys, I love turkeys...but I don't think I'm meant to have any. Every time I try we have some issue or another.
I was a good girl this weekend. I didn't plant my hanging baskets. I am dying to play in the greenhouse, but I stayed out of it.
I painted the bunny barn ceiling, mopped the floor, and helped DH get everything back where it goes yesterday.
Today, we cleaned out the buck barn, the silkie pen, and then painted the buck barn.
AND....I FINALLY got the garden area DONE.
Other than spraying weeds, all my 'crappy' jobs are done for spring....NOW I can play in the dirt full time. Of course, it's going to get cold again and stop me from getting too crazy but...still...I don't have anything else hanging over my head that I need to do asap.

The garden area looks great!!! I have a WCB polish pullet that I kept and she is about 7 weeks old now and cute as heck when she runs with her big top knot of feathers.

G'mornin'.
I have been a good girl all spring. I did the 'crappy' work around here....fixing things, heavy lifting, weed pulling, etc. I have a saying my dd hated, "You gotta do your 'have tos' before you can do your 'want tos"....
Tuesday after I got off work....I finally did my 'want to'....I played w/ the new plants I bought in Amish country. Filling hanging baskets, planters, etc. All. Day. Long.
T'was glorious, I tell you. I could happily play in the dirt for the rest of my life. And there's an added bonus to the greenhouse. I used to pot everything up on the porch and make a mess everywhere. Out in the greenhouse I was either neater than normal or luckier than normal, a quick sweep-up at the end and I was done.
I did have all the pots outside as I was finishing them and meant to take a group pic, but DH came home and wanted to get to work on affixing a chain under one of the benches in the greenhouse for me to hang the baskets from....and I forgot to take the pic before I put everything back inside. If you do end up seeing all the baskets / planters....keep in mind half of them belonged to my mother and I fill them in her memory....I don't go overboard purely for my sake.
Yesterday I got my hair cut (remember last fall I got that perm, then had to get another one 2 days later b/c the 1st one didn't take?....well, that fried my hair)....I had 6" whacked off. I feel....lighter, lol.
The girl that cuts my hair (Ashley) is a family friend, and her mother came w/ her. A few weeks ago Ash lost her dad and they stayed for 3 hours venting / sharing their pain and frustration and feelings of loss. When they left, Ashley told me she's pregnant but is not as happy as she would be, her dad wanted to be a grandpa. I assured her this baby is a way to keep Grandpa alive.
After they left, I got my new rose planted (Lady Diana - the softest blush pink, gorgeous!) and the last perennial I bought, a red / yellow Black eyed Susan.
Then, because the rain that they kept saying we'd get, didn't come....I finally watered everything. THEN - it rained.
We sold another Flemish doe last night, and I repotted some of the gourds I started a while back. They're outgrowing those little 6-hole black things you get at nurseries and getting root bound, and we're still 2 wks out from our 'frost free' planting date. It's only going to be 47 degrees Saturday.....brrrrr.
And now.....I'm procrastinating about getting out for chores. I think I hear Ellie bellowing to be milked so I'd better get to gettin'.
Have a lovely Thursday.

I don't think it's an act of God. It's an act of his neglect. I suggest that you take him to small claims court to sue for your deductible. Take pictures of his trees, the damage and the condition of his trees. Write him a letter stating that his trees have posed a continuing hazard and that you want the hazard abated and that you have asked him to fix the problem in the past. Take all that to small claims court. You have a right to abate the hazard on your side of the fence but if the damage comes from his side, my guess is he is ultimately responsible. You can also complain to the city about his trees posing a hazard to your property.

As it stands right now, we paid for the bunny barn repairs and he is to have the #$m@ tree removed ASAP, at his expense.
His kids have gotten the last freebie pumkin and 'baby animal' tour, though. No more goodwill toward THAT man.
QM, we aren't in or anywhere near the city and the county council would probably take his side, 3 members are insurance agents.
*deep cleansing breath*
Daisychick, here are pics....they don't look so good all clumped together in the greenhouse (hard freeze coming tonight) but....here you go.
These are pumpkins I started a while back, I'm afraid they're gonna bloom before I can get them in the ground. Greenhouses rock.
Everything is doing good.
The Lady Diana rose I planted yesterday, along w/ the rose tree DH got me last year for Mother's Day.
Hardy carnations are blooming like crazy.
Some of the iris are blooming
The 'big' bed I redid a few weeks ago is really starting to look full.
Allium
One of my new Coral Bells
Can y'all believe this is a Hibiscus? I *love* the foilage!
The border at the front of the porch....the one the idiot dogs keep trying to poop in.

Also....I dunno if it's hooey yet or not, but I was (supposedly) contacted by a Purina PR person, they asked if they can interview me for their electronic goat newsletter.
It's probably only read by about 3 people....lol. I'll be famous to all 3 of them.
Wondering if I should contact "Out Here" (TSC) magazine about Herdstock. They did a story on one of our Chickenstocks and the group got our pic in the magazine.
