No camera to show it to you now!

The back wall of the solarium is gone, well over to the fireplace anyway. As they were tearing the wood down Dave uttered those words that make every homeowner shudder. He said, " oh oh, this doesn't look good." Surprise, it was rotten wood holding up the entire ceiling. Ok, maybe just one corner. Anyway it is a total and complete mess in the back of the house now. We can't even remember what is was like to use that area of the house! The animals are so confused when we open the door to let them out and they see they are already out! Who knows what critters are hiding under the sofa pushed over out of the way. maybe I really should quit watching all those movies on the SyFy channel. Maybe Jed will take pics this afternoon and I will post them. No pics because my camera is broken. I think it got dropped and the little guy inside is all messed up. He keeps saying take off the lens cap when there is no lenses cap on! It says that or system error. Anyone know how to fix it.

Cheesy Monster Movies

Apparently SyFy has been having a marathon of monster movies. Seabeast just went off. I don't know how many people started on the island but only three survived. Spring break shark attack is on next. Earlier the giant shark was attacking the Navy until a giant octupus showed up. They called in the Japanese navy for backup. Later tonight is Dinoshark followed by Dinocroc. These movies have horrible special effects and a three year old could write better dialog. I did tune in briefly to one because Lorenzo Lamas was in it. For those of you who know how impressionable my mind is, please call me now and tell me to turn the channel. I still haven't gotten over "The Spider" watched one afterschool when I was about twelve.

Herding the Chickens

That is what G-dad called it and I wasn't going to argue with him. He decided to move the girls to a drier place and one a little closer to his house. He summoned the hired help and the fun began. Eileen is very hurt I didn't get the photo of her holding a chicken by one leg. She refused to do it again for some unknown reason. the rooster was the only really umcooperative one in the bunch. Come to think of it, I haven't heard him lately. Hum?Eileen did make a great chicken pot pie last night. Disclaimer: No chickens from the Compound pen were used in the making of dinner. Did I mention how muddy the yard was after all the rain we have been having?




After the first two aborted attempts at "herding" and only two cooperative females, we decided to see if we could get the rest into a big rabbit pen and carry them to their new home.








Eileen watching "the clipping of the wings" so they don't fly away. G-dad assures us it it like cutting one's fingernails.
