Neither the lemonade nor the Kool Aid sound good. You folks in Wisconsin drink strange stuff 🤣
Trixie is growing up -- and big -- so fast! Was she disappointed about not getting out to walk yesterday? BTW, she is a beauty!
I was disappointed once the sun came up and I spotted the roof of the...
Spring? Did anyone really think it was on its way? Still under a high winter winds warning until 7 a.m. (already picked up the blown-off downspouts on the north side of the house) Then, potential blizzard conditions watch kicks in Saturday night. Winter storm warning starts Sunday night and runs...
Not only did you post -- as usual -- some great photos, your words painted a vibrant. detailed picture of your world. Thanks for sharing. And, yes, you will be walking away from that place and your current life.
But, you are also walking toward a future with opportunities and possibilities...
Congrats on joining this wonderful community of folks who know are always happy to share their expertise.
Best wishes with incubation and welcome to BYC!
I am sorry that you and Annie are having such a rough time! Thank goodness Brenda is pitching in.
Being stuck in a wheelchair while she heals is probably driving Annie crazy; sounds like she's usually a real go-getter. And your experience with the heart monitor sounds terrifying. Let's hope...
I don't know anything about pricing an adult pair. But, I just ordered some female goslings from a hatchery, and the Embdens were almost $50 at both Metzer and McMurray.
Lamb "hatching" takes me back to my childhood and the wonder of seeing those wobbly little critters take their first steps into the world.
I also remember that our ewes (too) often chose the coldest, windiest, snowiest days to drop lambs with no regard for being INSIDE the shed, not out in the...
Glad to see you back! Sorry you're still suffering from the first ablation; hope you bounce back better this time.
It was 66 degrees Monday, and there is a possibility of snow today -- the unpredictability is tiring. I've been doing some "spring cleaning" in the garage and located the bag of...
Congrats on the first goose egg! Just think how many more you will eventually have after the arrival of those goslings in May!
My guests will have to sit on old chairs. The patio sets looked great online; not so much in person at the auction.
However, I made one was tremendous score -- a box...
The crazy weather is continuing. Yesterday morning, I failed to notice that between the first time the dogs went out and about an hour later, the temperature had dropped enough that a thin layer of ice had glazed the ramp. The dogs were in a hurry, and it was all I could do to stay upright.
At...
No matter what the calendar says, it feels like spring in Iowa. All but the smallest remnants of the last snowstorm have melted. It's 62 degrees and blades of grass are peeking out. There's green showing up through the mulch in the new garlic bed, too. Three robins were bopping around one of the...
Congrats on the Beast. A husband who learns a lesson? Hmm, I suppose it's possible. 🤔
I have a list of gosling names that has changed about as often as I've waffled on how many, what kind and when. "When" was decided for me as March 30 is the earliest that all three were available. And, being...
Okay, Lisa, you scared me into taking action. I placed an order with Murray McMurray for an African, an Embden and a Toulouse gosling, all females. They are scheduled to arrive the week of March 30. I can't get company for Gussie too soon!!
I probably won't add ducklings this spring. Too many...
I'm glad you found your keys. I lose things all the time. I frequently put something down wherever I'm working and don't realize until much later that it's missing. Saturday, I frantically searched the house, yard and garage for a pair of black gloves that I ALWAYS put on a shelf by the back...
