Getting ready to post some pictures from around the old homestead here .... or the "farm" as I like to call it. Actually, it's probably more like a freaking zoo .... !
Yesterday was a good day. I helped out again fixing lunchtime meals for the seniors. We did 37 homebound meals and 17 in house. Not to many showed up yesterday. Good eats, too. I really enjoy doing this. For such a small thing it makes me feel good. Really good. Ran home did some errands, cooked dinner and called it a day. Watched the tube for a bit then out like a light.
Now for some pic's ......
Chicken in a haystack! This little girl likes to lay her eggs out in the barn area where the hay is stacked. All the other chickens lay their eggs in the coop .... she refuses. We also have an egg eating chicken. I talked to a senior "rancher" lady yesterday and she said that's not uncommon. She recommended oyster shells in their diet to supplement something they may be lacking. Dave would rather throw her in a pot .... but I'm asking for a second chance with the supplement. Not sure if my case was heard or if it's chicken for dinner .....
The roto-rooster & his roto-hens ..... they do a fine job of rototilling & fertilizing the garden area. Can't wait till we can start planting .... ! Ready for those fresh veggies !!
Our frozen fish pond. It's starting to warm up a bit finally .... so hopefully this will thaw soon. Supposed to be 61 degrees here on Monday .... thats one big YAHOO! from this girl.
One of our "cold fish" ..... get it? hahahahhahahahahahah I just crack myself up .....
One of the three llamas ..... Maddy. Mona is in the background.
Mocha giving you a big smile ..... or getting ready to spit .... one of the two .... LOL
Mocha's mom ..... Mona .... they have the same big underbite ..... cute.
This photo was taken back in the fall. This is a part of the historical Route 66 heading into Ashland. It was a beautiful day.
Being extremely lazy again today ..... a bit of laundry, my never ending chore. Did taxes yesterday and filed them so thats done. Still have to get mom's done but don't think she has it all together yet. Think I'll head out and mail a letter a bit later and pick up some diet soda ..... I'm craving carbonation for some reason.
A very good friend from my past emailed me the other day and it was very good to hear from her. I gave her my Mindsay address and am hoping she stops in for a visit. If you do ..... hey girl !!! Thanks for stopping by!
Things have seemed nothing but hectic lately. It feels really good to have a "friend" here in the valley. After almost 8 years of having none. It's nice just to have someone other than Dave and mom to talk with. The dogs are probably tired of having to listen to me too ..... so they are probably happy as well.
Think we have like a 30% chance of rain today and it's a bit cloudy, but not threatening .... at least I don't think so. Just glad things seem to be warming up a bit. Guess I'll quit babbling now ..... hoping everyone is having a good weekend. As usual things seem slow in here on a Saturday.
Peace. J.
