The things I see each day, the things I do...I figured they were just as interesting to other people who don't live my life as anything out there.
These are 'the girls'. They arrived last week and are settling in nicely. They are 14 Buff Orpington pullets and should begin laying in February. Don't let anyone try to tell you that chickens are smart, but they can be slightly trained. To get them used to following me, I routinely toss out chicken feed while calling out, "Here chick, chick, chick!" The first night we discovered that their roost pole was too high for them to get to, so we had to lower it and then I had to lift each one onto the roost (where they spend the night). After that, they got the idea.
I went to a Red Cross CPR certification class yesterday and discovered they've changed some things since the last time I did it. They had a very good DVD program to follow so you almost didn't need an instructor. I feel good about getting my card, not that my victom is going to ask to see it before he allows me to save his life, but being a nurse it's nice to have documentation with me.
I finished this nice holiday choker recently and it goes perfectly with my Christmas holiday stick earrings. I am racking my brain to come up with other dazzling holiday designs. It's a lot of fun but sometimes hard to get it done.
We had our maiden fishing trip in September, and have gone about 4 times since then, but with so much going on, it's been weeks since we were able to go. It we weren't too busy, the weather wasn't cooperating. It looks pretty nice today, so I'm hoping today's the day. I do the cleaning and filleting, which gets easier with practice.
More life comin' at ya soon!
