Coffee is on. Raining.... which means a bit of a break. Spent yesterday hanging out with family, my sister and her family in the morning and then in laws in the evening. Fun times but am glad that it's done. Family all gave a us bit of cash for our farm projects, :love.
That’s nice! We had a family party too! Our party starts around 10 am and we left at 7 pm so I could take care of the animals...they were so mad when I got home! Usually it’s a two day event because everyone comes from afar, but not this time. It was great. Tons of people.. We all bring the grossest foods we can find also and we try them all to see what’s the worst. This year was this spicy pickled crab meat from the Asian market. Looks like hotdoh sauce...smells bad, burnt off everyones taste buds! :lol: my hubby worked more on my new chicken coop and got some drain spout on...no more carrying water!! Yeah! The chickens love it too! We still haven’t caught that one little banta that got away from us the night we brought it home...it lived on the roof for two days. We have an open rabbit hutch for it with food etc...it’s stubborn. We’ve chased it a bunch...no luck...dumb chicken...:lol:

Branch out?? Are you gonna start crocheting barns and tractors next? You've pretty much got the animals covered.

One thing I've thought about: our local Hospice does a "Festival of Trees" as a fundraiser every year. I'd love to do a tree for them, and you gotta admit, it would be unique!

Agreed, there probably was something there. We just couldn't hear or see it. Last time it happened a couple months ago turned out it was a mole lol
Years ago, we lived next door to a guy who was a member of a hunting club, who had a pen in the back yard where he sometimes kept a few hounds. Those dogs would bark/bay at a bored cricket yawning.:barnieThere were lots of pet dogs in the neighborhood; often, you could tell the progress of the morning joggers by the barking dogs. The pets frequently barked because the other pets were barking, but they never barked when the hounds went off . . . I guess even the dogs knew the hounds' noise was "a tale told by an idiot; full of sound and fury, signifying nothing (a little Shakespeare to start your morning!).

It is scheduled to rain here later & into tomorrow. I work a 4 hr demo later but, right now I'm babysitting a canner of pints of chicken breast meat. First time I have used this one on this stove. Since it is electric -- you can't adjust the flames. LOL....now I have found "the spot" to keep 10# and I am almost the turn off time. Tonight & tomorrow I will be doing a few more "loads". I was gifted 60# of chicken breasts & tenders and freezer is slam full with stuff. Got a few whole chicken breasts for other dishes. But, no way I can get all this in there. So, canning! Sure not turning down something like this. Long story BUT, restaurant supplier and a customer who declined order when delivered. Also a lot of other things....French fries, salad greens, spinach, rolls, cases of apples, etc. A REAL haul!! I may never have to shop again. LOL

Beyond that -- well, the penned roos have gotten a parden for a few days. Can do but so much!

Today is a wine sampling I'm gonna need a glass by midnight!~

All three of our NHR cockerels are crowing up a storm..plus our rooster, Spike, BR, is in fierce competition, and mad at Chris for disturbing his peace by working on the coop. Plus, we have a tiny new bantams cockerel making some sad crowing...you can barely hear each other at our farm! Chris used to hate the ducks...:lol: now it’s rooster heaven! Poor guy. :)
