april fool's~!

and i don't have a good joke
sniff
damn............
ok i do however have a bit of artist block so i am wondering if i should start another drawing on the blog..... one part of me says, 'too much pressure' another part says, 'it's just like when you worked in the art departments or kept a show schedule'
anyway, i have done a lot of roughs and a bit of piddling but i need to do some serious stuff right now on the caliber of that last one.

i spent almost ALL day yesterday talking to my friend carol who is now officially a cancer survivor! however she is now having issues with eating, as in she doesn't
she's got me worried still.

in weather related, it appears that we are to get warm weather and that it would be a good idea to schlep the patio furniture up to the deck and put it together, then plan on a BBQ
oh and the lettuces and pakchoi have sprouted!
i should marinate some beef cubes and have the first official grilling session of the season huh? we'll see
meanwhile i should also light the woodstove this morning

mother nature is having mood swings i think.

thaddeaus aka DA BOY, got spanked sorta last night. he has been bugging the budgies to get my attention and finally i grabbed him and spanked him on the nose (more like a tap, tap, tap with my index finger) he's all out of shape now and slept downstairs
he'll suck his tail later
but he does have to remember....... NO to the birds, and if he wants attention he comes over
(it works with him on the bookcases too.....i ignore him there and he comes over- well i can't reward or ignore him when he's up on the bird cage so he got tapped......he's smart but he's humiliated right now)

yesterday in duckie news, phoebe and lilli shared the back pen without any visible fighting!!!!
next we need to get momma there as well.... it's a round robin of sorts lately
lilli bites momma, momma bites phoebe, and I grab phoebe and throw one of the others in the pool
oye
now last night, i washed buckets, the little pond/pool......feed pans and a piece of lattice that momma duck squirted poop on (they ARE ducks.......... they poop..... a LOT)
all the while listening to the annoying little dogs going off like alarms next door
they took the dogs in the second bernie got home however...... amazing huh?
but i had to make sure that this was all done just in case i have to take my cousin to the dentist.
i also refilled buckets and made sure each pen had one
i'll fill food pans in the morning.
i need a bark breaker or a high pitched dog whistle to make those damn dogs next door either stop barking or BARK AT 7 am....... when all the assholes next door are sleeping.......
and we should blow it at 5am, 6am, 7am, 8am, 9am....... cause no one gets up until the crack of 1pm over there....

momma duck laid a shell less egg and then broke it so i should muck that pen tomorrow.- i am going to up her calcium tomorrow too. they get granite sand and oyster shells but she needs to graze and such as well....... which isn't happening as often, since they like to graze as a flock and all they do is fight at the moment.

oh and the two egg eating pullets are going up the hill as soon as mark has time to do them, i was beyond mad when i heard them announce after one laid and i rushed in to find them both eating the FRESH EGG......the bloom wasn't even dried yet!
and all the OTHER chickens watching......
i can't tell you how many colors of red i saw when i discovered this...but i took the egg away

again thank you all for all the birthday well wishes........
now i just finished this post as well as giving the cats their hot fancy feast soup.....so let's all start our day

til next time
vi
