Rammy's Ramblings

I forgot to post a pic of the garden with the bedding spread out.

That should keep them scratching for awhile.

Yep! I plan on cruising the streets in town for already bagged leaves. Not much left in my yard from the winds we have had. Will put those in and have great compost curtesy of the chickies!

Rammy you are a smart one ..... i like the way you think....now i know where i am going to dump hay, been watching the chickens scratch along the fence line...will sacrifice some nice used goat pooping hay there for them !

I figured I better clean out the chicken coop and put fresh bedding in.

You don't need a wind block at roost level for the chickens?

I put black plastic around the walls on the end where they roost to keep the wind off them. I havent done it yet because I didnt have enough staples. Got some today. Also, it makes it hard to do it when its windy. Hopefully I can get it done this weekend.

How are your parents doing on their own ? .....I bet you stop by and or call them every day...you are a great daughter to do that Rammy....I have seen many family's not care for their ageing parents, it is so sad to see that happen....hope you are enjoying your own home again with your fur baby....and your parents are back to a normal lifestyle of their own, relaxing, recovering and enjoying their home together....

They are doing fine. Took Dad with me on a feed run to the Amish place. You do what yoy have to do. Just glad things are finally back to normal.

Went out a few minutes ago and got a gigantic egg. I dont know who laid it but its definetly a double yolker.


I put a normal size egg next to it to show the difference. Im keeping this one. I sell the eggs to my regular egg clients and my family but I keep the big ones.
In other news, my left thumb and forefinger have been hurting alot. Its gotten worse past couple weeks. Today I needed help with a few dogs because I couldnt grip or use my left hand much. Im wondering if the cold might have something to do with it.
One of the receptionists suggested it could be carpal tunnel. That makes more sense than arthritis. She said she had it once and got a wrist brace at wallyworld. So I went and got one to wear. I wont be able to wear it when I bathe dogs because it will get wet. If this doesnt work, it will be time to see a doctor.


If this doesnt help I may have to consider giving up grooming. I scissor with my right hand, but use the left, of course, to hold paws for shaving feet ot toenails, or muzzles to shape faces or topknots. Kinda makes it hard to do if you lose half your ability.

Rammy, i have several of thoes that i use, if it has metal in it, push the metal to give it just a little bend toward your palm of your hand. I found that's much more relief, and if you can stand it ...wear it all night... i somehow have managed to undo them during the night and find them on the floor ., but they do work for me... BTW..BIG egg, you probably can make a omelet out of it hope your wrist gets a rest and feels better.
