My pumpkin carving is very limited.....could barely get the standard face carved into a pumpkin when my kids were little. Your husband's pumpkin is awesome!

I can't even cut a straight line on a pumpkin. I told him he'd better get used to it because he's going to be our pumpkin carver for life lol!

One of our cockerels is getting a little bit too fiesty for my liking. He almost got a bucket to the head this morning (impulsive bucket swinger here). The three boys should be in the freezer in a few weeks, they have a bit more weight to gain. They ignore their grain, would rather free range.

After butchering ALL the Delaware roosters because they were so mean, one slipped by. He is an Ameracauna and has no tail feathers because those mean Delaware pullets keep them plucked out. I think he is too picked on to get mean, LOL.

One of our cockerels is trying to crow, it's kind of cute and pathetic. Our big roo isn't even interested enough to bother crowing back at him. Obviously not a threat!

Someone just asked my husband if they can borrow some hay bales to use in some haunted house event they're doing. Oh but she'll give them right back! What?? Borrow my animals' food? Really? Can I borrow the contents of your pantry and leave them outside to potentially get rained on and then give it back to you? Ugh. Hay costs money people.

I would've said yes, it'll be $12 a bale. Add a dollar every day they don't return.

Someone once asked to borrow my (absolutely crazy) white horse for wedding pictures.

I said she will throw that bride and her big froofroo gown right into the mud. You don't have the insurance for that mess.

They said it's just a horse, how bad can she be?

So I started listing all the broken bones I had from her until they got the point.

Nothing like a good toss, coming back down to earth, to acquaint one with reality.
