Just an old member checking in...real quick!
We moved from TN to Evening Shade, AR around the 3rd week in September. We're camping on our new property and enjoying every minute of it!!!
We brought all our birds with us and they are enjoying their new home...especially since they are getting...
We're under a tornado watch until 2 a.m. here in most of Middle TN.
I was online earlier this evening and at around 6 p.m. we had a huge rumble of thunder right over the trailer. I wasn't expecting it at all and had to peel myself off of the ceiling.
We just got through another huge down...
I got into "gourding" a few years ago and love it! I started out with making bird houses and just went wild after that!
Here are some pix of the different things I make with gourds:
Sewing box:
Toad Houses:
Mask wall hanging:
I've sold a few but mainly make them as gifts for...
Hey Peeps!
Long time, no see!
Hoping that this finds all well with everyone! Skip and I are doing well even though we've gone through some rough times here over the past several months. As the saying goes, "what don't kill ya will only make ya stronger", we feel like we're living proof of...
Hey all!
Just wanted to share our bike wreck recovery/therapy hatch happenings with y'all!
I wasn't able to take weekly pix, with my right arm in a cast, but I've got it back and can torment everyone with pix now! Just click on the thumbnail pix I've posted for a bigger pic.
Except for...
Went to check on the Silky coop yesterday (Sunday) to make sure that the 3 girls who just got out of chicken jail (plastic coated wire bottomed cage for breaking their broody) weren't piled back up in the nest box.
Well, lo and behold, StaPuff, our Splash hen, was all sprawled out looking like...
When Skip/doc_gonzo and I got our day-olds last May, I got into this, full-well knowing that we planned on putting the extra roos in the freezer.
Pardon the pun, but I've tried taking the "chicken" way out of doing the deed ourselves, to no avail.
I'm finally ready to do it ourselves and we've...
I'd love to trade some of my McMurray Easter Egger eggs for EE eggs from a flock (our gang just turned a year old on May 14th and I've had good hatch rates) from a different hatchery to bring some new blood into our "designer" line. I prefer a somewhat local trade as opposed to too far away but...
These boys still haven't made it to the freezer but I'd rather see them get a good home, instead...
Geezer, Easter Egger, total gentleman...
Buckwheat, Easter Egger, thinks he's bad but he's a big baby...
Fric and Frac, Black Tailed Buff Japs, too cool for school...
Bubbaloo, Mottled...
Skip's Mom sent us this one today, still in tears as it really hit close to home for Skip and I ...

Some of you know that Skip and I were in a bike wreck (young kid ran a red light, we t-boned his Lexus...never saw it coming!), back in early February.
I ended up with cracked ribs, broken wrist and pinky finger on my right hand and am right handed, of course! Skip suffered a broken pelvis and...
Well, here we go again!!!
Hatch #4 just arrived via our lovely mail delivery lady, our Red Golden Pheasant eggs!!!
Skip had been telling everyone about the eggs that I'd ordered for him...so I told him the truth, today, while he helped me unpack them.
Skip: I'm so glad you are cool with this...
We are down-sizing right now as we'll be moving to AR in a year or two.
We have 7 of them:
Rhinelander buck and doe
New Zealand buck
Californian doe
2 Dutch mix does: Blue and Charger
and another doe that we're not sure what breed she is but probably a mix.
$35.00 (firm) for all...
...and I can't tell you how tickled we are!!!
As some of you may know, Skip/doc_gonzo and I wrecked our Sporster on Super Bowl Sunday when a 20 year-young guy ran a red light. We never saw it coming and t-boned the passenger side of his Lexus.
Well, we've aquired two, red-hot choppers since...
Skip's Mom sent us this one and just had to share it...
This article was probably in today's New York Times ????
A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to eat...
Well, Skip/doc_gonzo and I got out on our usual Sunday Harley ride on 2/4/08. It was in the 50's with a chance of rain and we decided to "race the raindrops".
We made a big loop...from Sparta up to Monterey, over to Livingston then Hillham and down to Cookeville. We ran into a light shower up...
...does it take to lay an egg???
scroll down....
just a bit further....
According to our Silky girls, it takes 3 Silky hens to lay 1 egg...here's the proof...
Silly Silkies...
The Splash and one of the blue girls are both in broody mode so they've been moved to...
Hare E., our Rhinelander buck, used to be named Wild Bill since he's one of our fiestier rabbits. We've had him for about 4-5 years now and he is the only one out of 7 rabbits who is constantly getting out of his hutch. Most times, he just hangs out on top of the cage until we shoo him back in...
