Today

We are going to lunch at the Mongolian Grill. It's a place where you fill your bowl with whatever you want and they stir fry it for you on a huge flat wok. Yummy food and it's very healthy!

Then we're going to the White Horse Tavern. They are selling some potted flowers (or is that sotted flowers?) really cheap and I'm going to make some hanging baskets for my hangers on the deck and in the garden. I'm going cheap this year...if you buy hanging baskets at some of the local stores, WOOOO are they expensive!! Up to $20 per basket! No way can I afford to spend that for them! Don't ask me why a tavern sells flowers but they also sell frog legs and mountain oysters. Whatever the reason why they sell these odd sorts of things...I'm going to take advantage of the good prices on the flowers. I'll pass on the animal parts.

Andy's coming down with whatever I had. Poor guy. Regardless of that, he got the weed-feed down on the lawn this morning while the dew was still on the grass. It's supposed to rain Saturday night, so that should be perfect to get the weed killer to do it's job before it gets washed down into the ground. Heaven forbid that we let these dandelions live. Not in this neighborhood! I just hope that Andy is okay and feels better soon. And I hope he isn't getting IT as bad as I had IT. UGH!! But he's such a trooper!

I re-homed** 8 chicks last night, the ones that had revealed themselves as cockerels and the excess pullets. I gave them to the nice chicken lady. She was thrilled. I'm now down to 12 chicks total. That's a manageable amount and if they are all girls, I'll probably keep them. If there are any roos in the bunch, well, I'll deal with that as they make themselves known! There are 8 in the coop and I only have 4 chicks in the brooder now. They kind of freaked out when I took their 8 brothers and sisters away from them and they've been busy re-establishing their pecking order with them gone. But all seems to be peaceful now. Here is a pic of the 4 little babies. I just love the Black sex-link chicks, they are so sweet and don't mind being held. I also kept 2 Blue Ameraucanas. They should be beautiful full grown birds. I just hope they're both pullets!



I know this comes no where near being as cute as...say a brand new litter of baby piglets, but I kinda like 'em anyway!

**This seems to be the new buzz word for getting rid of an animal. Or a car...or a bad boyfriend!
