it's raining again

ha
there is a shocker huh?
it's almost 9am and we have to have LIGHTS on in the house cause we can't see for shit
it's that dark

naturally it is raining
we hung laundry
so it will be exceedingly well rinsed no?

oye


yesterday we brought my poor broken and battered kitchen aide to nj to the kichenaide doctor
the bench fee is 10.00
we'll see how much he wants to fix it
the lady cautioned me that it isn't easy working on kitchenaides
i am in a muddle now
i need that mixer
i got the bosch for big stuff but that is the every day mixer, cream the butter for the cookies... do the egg whites for the boiled icing mixer

after the jersey trip we stopped at ac moore
i had 2 50% off coupons so we got a pumpkin welcome flag for the house
and a gallon of white glue
( really i am running through glue like crazy lately)
a stop at the dollar store for black crows ( three of them)
and then milk and bread and back home for a bit
finally a run to get pavers for the duck pens

i am looking at the yet to be built pens..........and i am thinking......
they are way too small.....
WAY
TOO
SMALL

even double...........they would be too small
i probably need something more like 10 by 18
or even 9X18

and the other duck pen........turns out bernie decided it is a chicken coop
ok that is the right size for now 5 chickens ( and just think........a few months ago i had 10 chickens)

i suppose we can add run to the duck pen but with lillianna so bitchy ( and MOLTING LIKE CRAZY) i think i need a whole second seperate bitchy duck pen

and a pen to set eggies

if we do get the pens done
i am going to consider putting a small bird aviary up as well
it's been so long since i have had my beloved finches and canaries, and parakeets
the longest lived and healthiest canary i ever had was bred and raised in an unheated outdoor aviary in oakland nj
the guy who raised him had tons of birds sitting in the sun on snow covered branches when i went to see my bird
and they were healthy and singing
i don't know what or how he did it
but he did
i wish i hadn't lost track of him.........he was a friend of bernie's

oh and my reward for whenever i get the studio finished........ i am getting a fish
probably a betta but maybe a goldfish
we'll see

( see what happens when i don't get to raise babies during the summer............)

oye again
anyway
have a nice rest of weekend everyone
