yesterday when it was time for all good duckies to wake up and smell the spring time,
the duckies wouldn't come out of their crate!
MORNING DUCKIES
we aren't awake mom, we're sleeping in
duckies.......you can't sleep in, it's time to go out
there are worms to hunt and puddles to splash in
mom?
yes duckies?
can you save us some worms? we don't want to go out side in the wet
sorry duckies, you'll have to catch the worms fresh yourselves, mom's eyes aren't as sharp as yours are
it took a while to get them out of the crate and out of the house
seems no one wanted out!
i put the new girl back in with falstaff who was overjoyed and proceeded to jump on her
by evening the entire back of her neck was bloody again
so she is solo in the small crate and falstaff is loose in the basement, where he spends his time between the crates of females ( so close and yet so FAR)
upsetting everyone
oye
meanwhile, my laundry is taking forever to dry on the inside line
but the lettuces seem happy
i am spinning, drawing, and researching..........
cause i so have to reorganize this studio
i want to paint the old kitchen wood cabinets cream (they need to be sturdied up as well)
and stack them on little platforms with casters
i am going to make pretty labels ( that match the labels on my soap lines) for the boxes and drawers that i got all over, and put them into some sort of order on commercial shelving (with casters)
on my small desk that i do miniatures and polymer clay work on, i plan on painting it,
and adding a mat or something to protect the top, maybe a self healing mat
maybe Plexiglas or something, we'll see what's the easiest
and i am at a complete loss for the sewing area of the studio.......
we are hoping to replace the windows in here,
i am thinking we need plate glass stationary picture windows with an operating side window with screen
i am also hoping for a new ceiling....... this one is pretty but got pretty dented (it's that pressed fiber acoustic ceiling tile stuff......pretty but not for a studio)
i would like to be able to hang stuff from the ceiling and i would LOVE recessed lighting for at least the stone walls if not the entire perimeter
besides........this ceiling is nothing more then a race track for mice
don't ask
anyway, the rain is preventing me from painting these horrible green plastic drawers
and it's a very cold rain so i am not planting my green beans or cuc's yet
we had duck egg salad for supper, and tomatoe cheese soup
it's like normal egg salad only with duck eggs
it was wonderful!
it was so good i asked bernie 'why did we get new chickens?'
btw, one of the new pullets is laying double yolkers
she lays a HUGE honking egg as big as a duck egg every few days
and yup it's a double yolker
and that is a day in the life...........
I've found hangers at Lowes that are design for those drop ceiling systems. They slide over both sides of the track and then you squeeze them shut. Wouldn't work for very heavy but works for plants and other stuff.
