The Rest of the Story . . . (see rooster video)


First Day of Schools



This sums up my life lately . . .


Gone Fishin'









Thank you to Charlie Harp for taking Ben, Delbert & Jeff on various fishing trips this summer. They had a blast! We have caught, filet, smoked, baked, and various other things with salmon this year. What an experience!!

Cone of Shame

She chewed her staples out from being spade last week, therefore . . .


THE CONE OF SHAME!

Jeff's reaction was, "We're not taking her out in public!"

The Rooster Who Pecked at Mom One to Many Times



My sister asked me to explain the situation here. The rooster was doing his job very well of protecting the hens. He just also protected them from me, the kids, and any stick we could find. He would attack us when we tried to give them food and water. He would use his spurs on the back of his heel, run up and try to get you in the face. SCARY!! He also would peck at us when opportunity arose. He was MEAN!! So, "off with his head"!! I run this brood, dude!!

Jeff has wanted to live off the land for awhile now. I told him to have at it. He enjoyed the experience and we're having rooster for dinner tonight. (some of us anyway)

The little kids came away unscathed. Jeff told Molly we were going to eat him and she shouted with glee, "I want some".
