* 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. 



*  Before I forget - please go here if for Interspecies Snorgling (you'll will not be able to stop saying Awwwwwww out loud) :-)

Hahaha - Seriously, why do they have to have such an attitude? I think it will all work out as long as I keep him in his place. I'm not afraid of him I have no problem taking him on :-)

It was that way with Charlie and me. But he saw it as a challenge and got more sneaky and evil. He would hide and come out of no where to attack.

One day I pissed him off repeatedly all morning and he got so mad he screamed for almost an hour like someone was killing him. He also kept calling for me to come out of the house and was stalking me at the windows.

Charlie was also perverted. He was into that inter-species love thing. He was in love with a duck who just was not into him. She ran off with another duck and had kids on a different part of the farm. After Charlie died she and her grown kids came back to the house.

Charlie's death is a mystery. We think he was murdered. We never found his body, not even a feather. There where rumors around the barn yard that a fox might have killed him. It's either that or he found another duck at the pond and they ran off together. But Charlie was not the kind of guy any lady would want to run away with.
