well sad news.. “Rowdy” has to go.. he’s the banty rooster that someone dropped off here and now he is going to find a new home.. yesterday he attacked Yeller and ran him off into the woods for several hours.  Was nearly dark before he came home again and i could put him back in with his girls.  So, Rowdy has to go.  Can’t have him attacking and killing my prize rooster just cuz he can!  Called a friend of mine whose horses i take care of, to see if they’d like him, but they haven’t called back, so the answer is probably no.  In that case, I’ll drop Rowdy off at the animal shelter tonite and he can roost in the trees with the dozens of other ‘wild’ roosters living there.  Sad to see him go cuz he is so purty but another thing with him, even though i pulled his spurs off, he’s still beating up the hens too much.. “Little’n” is missing most of the feathers off her wings, looks like someone tried to eat her, but since it’s on both sides it’s about the spot where Rowdy ‘sits’ on em when he’s gittin nookie.. just too rough on my girls, and they come first, before any rooster!   later!

 

Got another new toy from my friend “T”! weeeehooo., i love this little gizmo.  I can use it as a movie camera (with sound!), takes pretty good pics, mp3 player, movie player, pic storage for showing folks ur fav pics without having to haul ur computer around *giggle*, a web cam, an audio recorder, and multi-shot camera.  it’s awesome!  called a spectare 7–n-1 and i just love it!  So, here’s a new pic of me and my grand-nephews that my sister took (who is very digitally challenged! lol) and it came out great as u can see.

 

Jake, Ethan, and Me.. yeah i know fat and ugly, but who gives a rats ass!   Hugggggggggglez!

 

Thank You "T"!

Just wanted to send a special Thank You to a very dear friend of mine.  He sent me a couple of digital cameras and i’ve been using them every day to take new pics!! I love these cameras!!!!!!! they take awesome pics and one even has a microphone builtin that adds sound to the movies i take!!!!!! weeeeeeee!  “T” u’ve been a special friend for about 15 yrs now and u always add a smile to my day and sunshine to a rainy outlook.  you’ve been my rock when needed an anchor and i’m forever in your debt! Love you always!

 and now to my new ‘friend’.. If you have a suggestion for what his name should be, leave a comment! Winning name will receive a personalized pic and a tail feather _grin_. 

 Buddy taking a nap.

Huggggggggglez.

a surprise!

look what we found wandering around yesterday with my ‘girls’?  aint he purty! 

caught him late last nite after he ‘roosted’ with my ladies on the rabbit hutch.. he wasn’t terribly happy about it, but he didn’t cause much fuss.  Put him in my cage with fresh hay and went out early this morning and gave him fresh water and some food, and pulled his spurs off.  He’s quite happy in there, now to get Yeller to leave him alone! lol.  Gotta catch Yeller tonite and pull his spurs off so when i turn the little guy loose, they won’t hurt each other.

have a nice day!

 

well well

i’ve changed the format of this page, do u like it?  had some problems, of course, nothing new there.. blogger can be such a pain, especially since google took it over.. but i think it’s all better now.  a post i made 4 days ago finally showed up.. laffin.. i hate computers.

have been having a blast playing with my new cameras.  have made movies with SOUND and that is sooooooooooo kewl! here’s a new pic of Charlotte.  She’s been laying an egg about every other day, although sometimes i cant find WHERE she’s been laying them, so haven’t gotten them all.  never have found her a boyfriend, and now it’s too late to order any goslings, as they are all gone online.. and i didn’t have the extra cash to order any.  unreal how expensive they are, when i only paid $3 for Charlotte.. cheapest i found online in one of my sources was $22 bucks for a pair of african geese.  a male alone is 15 bucks and i have to order a minimum of 25 (chickens or other) to make a shipment.  so it sucks.  oh well, maybe i will find her a mate locally, eventually.

tis all for now. 

well now i can’t find any of my new pics of charlotte, they are still in the camera.. argh lol.. so here is a pic of ‘Buddy’ , who is SmokeyJoe’s baby girl.. here is a pic of Smokey, and u can see that they are mirror images of each other.

toodles!

well i bought a battery charger for AA’s on ebay for my cameras that a very special friend sent me.  i also got a 1 gig card for one of the cameras and it’s working great.. made a couple ‘movies’ and this one camera even has a microphone! is so kewl.. now i have something new to play with again.

had to format the pos computer this weekend.  kept konking out on me and my lights and fans wouldn’t work, the frontpanel quit working, lots of things.  installed sp2 since i have a 3.06 gig processor now and my 1 gig memory works, so hoping it won’t burn things up like it did in the old pos.  still can’t get the front panel usb ports to work tho.. will fiddle with that later.  have fun ya’ll!

 

we are gittin RAIN today!!!!!! whooooooeeeeeee! lots and LOTS of rain!!! i’ve known it was coming for weeks, and we’ve had a few sprinkles but today is a downpour.. and am so thankful to God for it, we desperately needed it.  This should put all the forest fires out for good now.. still had some woods burning 30 miles north of us but this will definitely put them out.  No lightening or anything with this beautiful rain.. so shouldn’t start any new fires, and hopefully, the burn ban will be lifted and we can burn trash again. Have a great weekend everyone! God Bless.

Happy Day!

hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.  we had a small cookout here, i did the chicken so it wouldnt git burned to a crisp this time (lol) and the weather was great and everyone had a good time.  very nice weather but we sure need some rain!  “arthur” says it’s going to rain soon, but of course, i never know when.. just that it’s going to .. eventually.. somewhere near us or on us. lol 

My great-aunt Tilly died on the 19th of May.  She was an awesome lady.  She’d been in a nursing home for the last 5 years or so.. we always had a great time visiting her on her farm in texas.. she made homemade bread and butter, using the milk from her own cows.  We’d spend our days ‘gittin lost’ in the fields and rarely came home before dark.  She was one very special lady and i’ll miss her a lot, but i will always have my memories of my childhood summers spent on the farm.  God Bless u Tilly, now ur with Oswald, Raymond, and Mom.
