* It seems as though Rooster thinks I'm his competition. Today I was sitting out with the flock and two of the hens jumped up on the chair for petting. Roo came up and began (not nicely) pecking at my leg and doing that macho dance he does. Then a little later I was lifting one of the birds off the chair so I could get up and she squalked - Roos came unglued and raced for me menacingly. I maneuvered around him and gathered him up uptil he calmed down. I let him go and he strutted away not before shooting me a disgusted look. :-)

* I did something today that was really hard. I called Home Depot and made an appointment for someone to come out and give me an estimate on siding and window replacement. Normal people don't find a task like this hard. I've been trying to do this little task for well over a year. That and getting the A/C in my truck looked at (though I have a friend who is making that one a little easier), and finding out what's wrong with my well pump. I'm really not positive I understand the neurosis, but I'm pretty sure it's fear of someone telling me something I don't want to hear ....... this is closely tied to money I think. I really feel I should see a professional about it (I'll let you know how I progress with that task......) :-)

* I'm almost done transferring my plastic storage containers to glass. I'm using quart mason jars. I'll have to make a list of what's where because the jars are three deep. I like it better than the plastic bins though.
