Front Porch Chit Chat

[Double R]

I'm hopin to get some chicks this week. Buff Orpington's if they have them

Those are all over around here right now. Hope you score!
Hubby says no ducks till we move. Why’s he gotta be so mean???

 

[LadyLocust]

Our weather is sideways about 30-60 mph! My car got sand blasted as I was driving home Crazy winds 🌬

Ducks are sweet pets!

 

[Amish Heart]

Ducks are adorable, but they stink up the brooder something fierce! They poop very nasty watery poop and it's pretty horrid. So....I have 8 lovely gosslings in the brooders in the dining room. I betcha they last a week in here and they'll be sent to the milkhouse. Anything with webbed feet is adorable, but stinky

That's why I don't have ducks

 

[Amish Heart]

Well if you can hold out 6 weeks, then they can go outside and go swimming.
Don't you want ducks in your pool?

 

[havasu]

Heck, I even had pet ducks as a kid. That is, until they grew up. After that, I put them in the pond at my dad's golf course. Coyotes got them within a week.

Yeah, the cats need a fun snack!! But really, NO, no ducks, I'll watch them fly over!!

 

[Amish Heart]

It could be fun.

 

[Pearl]

It could be fun.

Maybe after a couple of beers you could throw a couple of ducks in the pool!

 

[Pearl]

Not sure the ducks would drink beer???

 

[Double R]

Have a good rest of your night. I have to be up in a few hours. Hittin the hay. Sweet dreams when y'all get that far

 

[Amish Heart]

Ducks would drink beer. The funniest thing in the world is watching ducks eat spaghetti noodles

 

[Double R]

Oh my goodness that has to be so funny!

Good morning everyone.
Off to tackle what I pray is the last day of mowing. Tractor tried to overheat yesterday so had to stop “early”.
Hubby was kind enough to clean all the filters on the tractor last night before he left for work. He tries so hard to make my life easier. I’m so blessed to have him.
Can’t believe how dry things are already. I thought I was a few days early on this field but it was “fake news” especially with 90’s coming in a few days.
Tomorrow I hope to rest and make soap. Maybe even get more flower seeds planted.
Hope y’all have a good day!

Our place looks like a hurricane has hit. Debris scattered throughout the house and property. Grandkids are visiting!

 

[Double R]

That’s a good kind of hurricane! How many grandkids @The Lazy L?

 

[Pearl]

11pm, I'm going night night! And so it begins.....the summer of tired! I can't get in the house!!

 

[Double R]

Sweet dreams

 

[Double R]

Good morning everyone!
Have a great day!

Bugs! Bugs everywhere! I noticed a few this weekend, black bugs 3/4" long. There were only a few then, last night and tonight they are in the 100's. My porch is about 400sqft, about 2 bugs per square foot means there are around 800 of them.

I've seen these bugs in past years, around memorial day. And just a few of them if I leave the porch light on. This is biblical!

Also, the second pic is of a solid black "wooly worm". I saw it a couple of days ago too. Wooly Worms are part of Appalachia folklore, they predict the severity of the coming winter. The more black in color means a very cold winter. I usually see 3 or 4 in the fall. I've never seen one in the spring!

The ones I saw last fall were solid black and we had the coldest winter in many years.

Might turn a hen or two loose out there! I agree - weird to see a wooly worm in April.

 

[Peanut]

Yeah, and it's solid black, no orange. Does this portend a mini ice age in June?

 

[Amish Heart]

I'm with Lady L, Peanut. You need a porch chicken
