1. Either Peanut Butter or Jelly Bean has laid an egg!! Don’t know which one, but I know it was one of them because the egg shell was very brittle, and it broke when I tried to pick it up.
2. This weekend will be now named “Poop ball weekend.” Even though it is suppose to be cold, it must be celebrated. Phillis has three toes affected, and I have to get them off of her before she breaks a foot. I will check her flock mates too.
I will welcome any and all of you to help me de-poop the toes of my girls. You may take any and all souvenirs.
Thank you,

I drove home in such torrential rain that I cannot remember it every raining harder. One side of the road was dark and stormy; the other side was bright and clear. What does that bring?????
I thought the show was over, but then near my house I saw this:
That is my friend Neely’s house in that valley (or holler, if you are from here).
On a side note: Poor Brando was barking and barking last night. I went out to see what he was barking at, and he was intent on something up a tree. I got the flashlight, and there was a little chipmunk, just tormenting the snot out of him. It was running around the trunk of the tree about a foot above his head. It would stop and eat a bit of that corn log thing I put up for the squirrels, and then it would run around more. Ann says she is sure she saw him flip Brando off on one of its circuits. It was not afraid of Brando at all, and I think that hurt Brando’s feelings a bit. Ann took the corn log in so that Brando could relax a bit.
And yes, our lights are still up. We has thought we would keep them up because they are so pretty. We are calling them pretty lights now.
This is going to be all over the place. I have car wash video, chicken photos, dog photos, boot photos, and antique photos of Jan and I in the tenth grade. She gave me permission.
First, I have to show you what a horrible life Brando leads. I am sure there will be many calls to the ASPCA too. I guess we just do not know how to treat animals properly.
We got out the bin of boots (How is that for alliteration?), and I found these great Wolverines. Ann says that each year I act as if I have never seen them, but that they are mine. Well, this year I actually tried them on. They are great!!! I need some thin wool socks though, and then they will be perfect.
Funny thing about this photograph…..I am wearing black jeans, but they look blue.
I spent a good part of the day filling and hanging bird feeders. I finally gave in and bought something especially made for squirrels. I hope they like it.
It is supposedly made out of corn and equal to a dozen or so ears of corn. I wonder if the chickens would like it?
Speaking of chickens…two of them decided that since it was Saturday, it was time for a bath. So they dug a whole in the straw and got in. They roll and roll, and they turn upside down. It is amusing, if not confusing as to how that gets them clean. Note the blue ears which show they are really good silkies. Not all of them have them though. The new babies do, and so does one of the black ones. I should look up what that really means.
I bought some peanut nuggets for the regular birds. I guess it is good for them because it gives them some fat.
When Jan and I were in tenth grade, we invited two guys to the Sadie Hawkins Dance. This is where the girls do all the asking, and everyone dresses up as if they lived in Dog Patch with Lil Abner. I remember the night, actually; we came back to my house for pizza. I think my mom took the photos. Jan and I have been trying to think of my date’s name, and we cannot remember. We both remember hers. In fact, I was in touch with him a year or so ago.
And now the video portion of the blog. I did a video in the car while in the car wash. How creative!! lol
Crazy weather. Here in the mountains it does not take much to close schools. We had a dusting, but the wind blew so hard that it caused it to become very icy. I had half of my coffee finished before they called it off, so I really was too awake to go back to sleep. I took a nap later on though.
