Be My Neighbor

I just love her block and would love to

make a gazillion little houses

but life got in the way.

Last Friday raccoons got into

our chicken houses.

Through a series of miscommunications

Jeff thought we were shutting up the

houses and we thought he was.

We lost almost all of our chickens

My big Lavender Orpington rooster and his hen

made it through, 1 Americauna hen and 1 banty hen.

We lost all of the others.

The only good thing about it was

the day that it happened.  That night the Amish in

Jamesport were having their monthly

small animal auction.

Nancy and I hopped into the van, drove to Jamesport

We got quite a few egg layers, 2 sets of Silkies and some 

beautiful gold chickens that I'm going to have to

research to find out what they are.

We also bought these 2 turkey babies for Zoie

We live trapped the big boar raccoon and his sow and

called our conservation officer.

Two babies (or kits) came and hung out

with their parents 

until the agent

could coral them and take them and their parents

over to Wallace State Park to be Let loose

in the woods. 

Don't let their cuteness take you in.  They'll 

grow up to be as destructive as all the adults.

(I had to keep telling myself that!)

And all of this was after cleaning out

3 houses, filling them with clean straw

 & rounding up feedersand waterers.

Ships, Stars & Whales is our featured 

quilt from the vintage book Oceans Aweigh.

My nephew Jewell had discovered my Father-in-Law's

recipe for podjarka which is printed in the book

and I promised to email him a copy.

That should do it.

Now lets go see what the others have done with

Stacy's block.
