Anyone can stay in a chain hotel but those don't even have a steering wheel. And don't even get me started about their lack of roosters under the floor. I mean how are you supposed to wake up without a ๐Ÿ“ under your bed.

Take that wind that tried to knock down all my corn stalks! I can still harvest it from the ground. Smallish corn on the cob - it's what's for dinner!

The compound sliding miter saw is completely unusable. As long as this teeny lizard wants to stay it will be a safe home for him. Welcome to the family!

I would like to proudly introduce you to The Dissenting Silkies, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Sonia Sotomayor! Ruthie and Sonia are the first of my chicks to tell me their names. I am impressed with their dignity and judgemental nature.

Success! My sweet highlighter colored chick had "Splay Leg" and we fixed it with this little brace!

I noticed that she wasn't standing up. She kind of shuffled around on her elbows (knees?) and belly. She would eat and drink if I brought her over but not on her own. So, I googled it. 
Her legs were slipping out from under her and it made her hurt. A brace to hold her legs together and two days of chicken physical therapy were recommended. I put her in a shoebox, fashioned a brace from ribbon and a straw, and hovered for two days. (Thank goodness my job is chicken friendly!) She is now free of the brace and running, flapping and jumping with her sisters! Yeah! Thank you Dr. Google!

Maybe this year? We've planted and replanted apple trees for at least 10 years now. We've never eaten an apple from them! Deer, voles, birds and bugs have taken turns destroying the trees and the fruit. Maybe this time!

I have a USB antenna on the roof and I'm running the latest version (4 years old) of Microsoft streets and trips. I did have to cut off the shifter and weld it back on at a different angle to clear the screen.

I know this one! She is a #GoldenCampine! Her Darth Maul markings will turn into a beatiful golden head and a speckled body. My last one was so friendly and inquisitive. I have high hopes for this one!

These two are already thick as thieves and getting into trouble. They are the only two not napping! I had to take them out for a minute so the others could rest. I have no idea what breeds they are. Guesses welcome!

Look at my gorgeous twinned cucumbers! There were two flowers on the ends but they are fused for the top third. Fascinating! I can't wait to slice it and see what's going on inside! Big Red Chicken was hoping I would drop it.
