Hey Maggie my friend.... thank you for correcting my poor spelling as my “spell check” on my phone is on vacation during covid (I guess).... BUT!!..... ....

I don’t even need a black light. I just turn on the light and they’re scrambling everywhere.

How do you walk around outside without being worried of getting bitten all of the time????....
I know.... I know.... shoes.?
But seriously... what if one falls out of a tree down the back of your shirt???
I would scream like a little girl!!!!
Like a little girl who just got her unicorn taken away!!!!!!!!!! ??

No. A close relation of the American Robin :)
It's funny because she's the only other bird (I've seen) besides a crow to actually gather up food like that. I have watched a robin however have a worm in it's beak. Then go for a McDonald's French fry too. I thought there was something wrong with his beak at first. So I was able to get a little closer. That's how I found out they love their meat and potatoes.?

I LIKE my new name! I should use it, then I could post "fun" things to/and about Chubbs and he'd never know it was me...Got 2 NASCAR races today. So I'm outa here
The only way to do that is change your name and don't tell anyone. But I did try that with my kids that kept yelling Mom!!! Of course they found me anyway...

Hello all

Today, JoesDad and I transported 2 Kestrels from the rescue to the National Bird of Prey Hospital in Hampshire. The journey is about 2 hours which isn’t great in the heatwave we currently have.

The hospital is on land owned by the Hawk Conservancy Trust and we spent the rest of the day there admiring their birds. They have some brilliant flying displays by their birds which we really enjoyed.

As is traditional in the CDR, here are some postcards from our travels

Pullets are hens that have just not reached egg laying age. I live in the city proper so a rooster is bad for me and the neighbors, although most are very early risers!
I lost a neighbor recently somehow that had a rooster and I live in a city. The noise never bothered me. It's actually kind of comforting. And evidently it didn't any of my neighbors either. The person lived here several years. Always had a rooster.

I just came back in from that exact thing.. I started yesterday evening. Bushhogging, Weedeating around the gates, mosquito spraying, mowing.... I finished the mowing and then had to clean all the leaves off the trampoline this morning... the pasture and weed work on the fences has increased due to the Change in horses... my two used to handle everything and now I have only one who has allergies... sometimes I do wonder just what the hell im thinking... lol...
I'll bet your new horse will get better and allergies will get under control. With your care.

I had a few chips earlier. I got forced by the brother. I enjoyed the smell more haha well what I could smell anyway.
It’s mainly the fever and chest that needs to get under control
Hmm so you smelled something too? So which bro? Sorry I'm being snoopy.?
