we had terrific high winds last night
so high that they downdrafted the wood stove and we could NOT keep it going.
I understand that the winds knocked power lines out all over...downed trees and all
now we have them big pines that moron neighbor the 'landscaper' told us would fall on his house.....
not a branch is off those trees at all!
so much for landscaping huh?
anyway...... arborists are tree specialists.....you need a degree.
on to other news
my boys are going today
I am so upset
this is the last morning my boys will crow to ME
they will crow tomorrow but not to wake ME up
I wonder if monica will hear them
I am so heartbroken
I have to take pictures of my big beautiful boys
now I wish I'd taken larry's picture too but I didn't
the chickens don't really like the camera
I wish we had moved already so my boys wouldn't be leaving but instead just going into
the palace of the happy chicken out back
meanwhile
in fiber news
I am still spinning
when I get enough done and plyed...I am going to dye it up and start a latvian mitten
so all the folks that would care to join in.....
It is going to be a bit but I am planning on doing a latvian mitten.....
just let me get the spinning done.....
so you all may want to decide on which one YOU are doing...
I haven't completely decided yet
I know I want to change the colors to something a bit less traditional......
probably purples and such to match my winter coats
with navy, I suppose some cream.. reds?
I will see when I got to do the dye work
til next time
vi~who is going to take the camera to take pictures of my boys
Vi, I never see my comments coming through to you, so I don't know if this will work. I type in the code as per but it doesn't show as working.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you about the roos, but at least they are safe and sound. I have 3 in my yard and 3 hens. The elder hen, Taji (austrolorp) is only laying occasionally and the other two are from spring...Millie (mille fleur) and Biddie (Plymouth Rock). My roos are Stockings (modern game) and Gobo and Wembley (the last 2 are silkie). We live in a mobile home park and I'm so afraid someone will make a stink about them! I'm just glad to have them every day.
YOU SPIN!!! WOw! I didnt know. I'm learning to spin with a drop spindle and I'm horrible with it, lol. What do you use to spin? And what is a Latvian Mitten??
ReplyDeleteThis is Jes from house chickens on yahoo, by the way, heehee. I saw the link at the bottom of your note to me about the diapers. Thought I'd have a look! Your blog is really prtetty. love the paisley.
Why are your boys leaving you? I dont remember i fyou talked about it in group or not. I miss alot there though. I dont get to read them every day. I'm sorry that they wont be with you anymore. Heck, I have Magnus in the house now and I know that he has to go bck outside in the spring and I'm going ot miss him ALOT. And hes just moving to the back yard! :hugs:
