Highlights So Far This Week

[dalthauser]

*  Blackberry Love  These are the two I had in buckets near the garden shed.  They were "extras" but because of the sun in that area - they are doing better than the others in the main bed.  The birds are getting their share, but I don't mind so much.


* ROBERT DOWNEY JR. -  I saw him on Letterman last night.  I'm so glad he's overcome his issues.  I was really rooting for him when he was dealing with his drug addiction.  Hopefully someday I'll be able to say the same thing about Brittany.

*  AMERICAN IDOL - I predict the boys will all get through.  One of the girls will not.  My guess is Syesha Mercado.

*  CHICKENS 7 WEEKS OLD - They don't look like chicks anymore - and are starting not to act like chicks.  They are roosting now and are much more assertive.  The rooster is still a little wimpy - but I think he's going to be okay.


* MY COUSIN MELANIE - Came to visit me.  She is not like I expected (I mean that in a good way).  We have a lot in common.  We got to talk about family, organic food, and spirituality (we both remember the Christian Science Statement of Being which was so cool - our grandmother was Christian Scientist).

*  I AM (PROBABLY) GETTING INTERNET - My neighbor came by to check if I can get his wireless.  Looks good.  I'll be paying him $15 a month.  I hope it works out. We won't know until I get a wireless card (which is on order).  I should get the card Friday and he will install it for me over the weekend.  To offset the cost I'm going to end my Blockbuster Total Access subscription (which is about $13 a month).  I watch too much TV anyway.

Blackberries!

Your more optomistic about Rbt. Downey then i am; but i wish him luck.
Brittney too.

That has been so quick with the chicks, when are they full grown?

Yo Mellie!

Oh oh, now you will have total access internet. Surfn' dreams.

I've been avoiding internet at home for the expense - but also because 1.) It's easy to avoid life when online and 2.) I was afraid because it triggers a desire to smoke (I quit 1 1/2 years ago - so I think I'm going to be okay).

The chickens still have growing to do - the hens will end up 6 pounds each and the rooster about 8. No more jumping on my shoulders once that happens.... hahaha

Those blackberry bushes are gorgeous.

The difference between Robert Downey,Jr. and Brittney is that Robert's actually a nice guy who happened to have a drug problem. Brittney's a biatch no matter what she does or doesn't do. My opinion, of course. But yeah, I'm glad he's got his act together now too. Though he looks OLD! You know...compared to what he used to. Makes ME feel old. Hehehe.

Are those two chickens standing on top of other chickens or on a rock? Hehehe. Can't tell. That's amazing how much and how quickly they change. I'd have no idea they were little bitty yellow fuzzballs just a few weeks ago. Kinda sad. :( But at least they're growing up healthy and well. You're a good chicken mama. :D

I'm so glad your visit with your cousin went better than expected. I know how that goes.

Yay for Internet! I wish I could sell off my internet like that. Geez. Never thought about it but it's probably not really possible here in the city but dang...I could make a killing! LoL.

When we lived in CA we had six hens and a rooster. Those poor hens NEVER got a moments rest. It seems that the rooster (at least for this breed, which were called Polish Cresents) could 'service' up to 40 hens a day. He eventually died and all the ladies breathed a sigh of relief.

Great news about the internet!

I have always liked Robert Downey Jr. He is a terrific actor and actually seems to be getting better looking as he gets older. I can't wait to see Ironman.
