Good Morning...

Yes, those are Doms TF...Just a pic I found..but that is the breed my Grampa had for many years...No Chicken fairy for me just yet...I apparently still have to share my brooder house with Farmer Dave until he gets the rest of his junk out of it...and I am none too happy about that, but I do still have to get the outside pen fencing done up anyway, and that will have to wait till I get more in the bank..Other things like fuel oil for this winter unfortunately will have to take prescidence for now...

My dearest George...So good to see you over here!! I'm thinking it is *UP* since I am way north of you...LOL...I'm glad you like the house...I love it...I've had a few comments on all the wallpaper, including the ceilings...I must admit it would not be my preference, but it grows on ya after awhile...I will be doing some things later on to tone it down some...

I am planning on brown egg layers Geo...I want to be able to sell them locally...Stick a sign in the yard kinda thing...LOL..Egg money will pay for the feed, and a tad extra if I'm lucky...

I've been busy this weekend trying to get the house whipped into shape, and dispose of all the bins sitting around glaring at me...Since I am off today as well, I plan to use it in the yard...I have my trellis to put together and get my roses in the ground...My little Fairy is doing very well in the tub so far...I am trying to watch the sun, and see where best to put her that she will get what she needs, but that I can still see her and enjoy her...If you get another good start, I would love to have it...I have 2 of those 4x8 wrought iron pieces, and I would like one on each of them...

See this window?? It is in the utility room and faces south into that huge yard...I am either going to convert it to a door, or put a doggie door in under it, and fence a run for the dogs equal to that siding on the house...It will be about 25x50 for now...
That is the only place I can do it that is not brick, and none of the current doors face in the right direction for them...Eventually the whole yard will be post and rail whitewashed to match the house, with the green wire behind it, but that takes more bucks than I have at the moment... :-)

I am going to put my veggie garden there on the south side of the Brooder house, and the compost bins behind it...Will make cleaning out the brooder easy, and feeding the garden easy too...LOL At my age, I'm all for easy... LOL

Y'all have a terrific day... I'm off to dig out my wheelbarrow and shovel...
