* The rain has me inside AGAIN....  argh!!  I did manage to get the mowing done and Roo's feet treated.  I massaged in a mixture of canola and orange oil hoping this would convince whatever it is that's irritating them to move on.  Here's a picture of us (doesn't he look thrilled?)



* For [personal profile] sahlah  (and anyone else interested)
These are the links to the two Zencast talks I felt deal with the monotony of life (at least partially).  You can listen directly from the site, or you can download to your Ipod from the sources listed on the main page (I use Itunes - you can just type in Zencast in the search bar and it will bring up all the talks.

Now - an Ekhart Tolle Q & A  September 11, 2005 - I listen to this over and over - he is awesome.

Just to be Alive is Enough - a talk by Gil Fronsdal of Audio Dharma August 19, 2007


* If this isn't a Red Flag that we've got a problem with caffeine in this country, I don't know what is.  They offer these shots of caffeine to add to your already caffeinated coffee along side sugars and creamers at my local convenience shop.

jennholly here -

Have you considered scrubbing his feet with a toothbrush to get up under the scales?? I've had to do that. I do think that my hen had mites, but she just tends to have really dirty feet, too. She's also missing her middle toenails. I call her Butch. She likes the girls and keeps my rooster cowtowing.

I ordered an iPod finally, so I hope to be able to listen to these. You always find such good stuff.

Ahahaha - awesome! I need a girl like that in my flock! (Roo is such a bully).

I will try the toothbrush - he'll love that..... :-)

I also gave the chickens a bath with Dr. Bronner's tea tree oil soap. Grumpy chickens!

Do you have a blog now? If so, tell me where, and I'll see if I can view it on my feed.

it is at lostpony.wordpress.com . I recently had my computer die, and with it went my recipes! so, that's really the only thing on the blog.
