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!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,
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...
We only eat the cockerels so far...there’s a leghorn that’s not laying and she’s young...never payed a darn..I think she’d make a great dinner...Chris doesn’t believe me they only lay white eggs...that’s how I think she’s not laying
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.
There 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!).
now it’s rooster heaven! Poor guy.
