It IS disgusting, but the dog doesn't seem to care.

Thanks you for letting us know he was out and OK.

Jacqui called a short while ago. Dad is in recovery and they will be spending the evening in Albany for observation. I will let her post the details because my mind relaxed after hearing he was out of surgery OK and I didn't retain much of the rest.

Oh, and Jeri.....EEEEEEWWWWWW. That visual is NOT something I needed. :-)

I drink skim milk, which is why I fart less than a ballerina. Give Seamus heavy cream.... and broccoli covered in old cheddar cheese.

Enough of this! When the hell are we gonna' hear something?

Sins....Give Seamus a big shot of milk before you return him home. The effect of milk on flatulence production is impressive.

Yes, I AM disgusted by my own post.

Jacqui fed that dog pesto, Prosciutto and asparagas right in front of me then handed him over for a trip to my house. No problem - I have a can of sauerkraut at the ready when I send him back.

Seamus didn't spend much time on my couch, his personal hygiene needs some working on... But he had a lovely trip to the beach with the other two yellow dogs, and we left him and his "fragrance" back with Auntie Sins. Jacqui. what in hell do you feed that dog?!

Sending good vibes your way today, Kendall.

Red oak is the only wood I use for making furniture and such. The grain is just soooo pleasing to the eye.

There are lots of other woods that are great for certain applications, and budgets, but red oak is the only stuff I keep in stock.

Kendall, not to worry. Red Oak is one of the most adaptable oaks around. It was in a sandy loam soil, so we were able to get the roots out without losing any. Clay soil isn't the problem for this tree it might have been for a White Oak. We have a week or so of cloudy skies and moderate rain coming up, so let's just give it time to adjust to its new home. If it still looks unhappy in a week, give me a call and I'll take a look.

Thinking of you,

maeve

maeve, our tree is looking quite dejected. I think it misses you.
I followed your instructions to the letter, but it may not like the clay soil I stuck it with.

Jacqui & Kendall- Truelove and I will be watching for an update; thanks.
I'll send a PM with a message for the Patons.

Rapaire- When I do a bantam roundup I usually just whistle them in. Our rooster Calico gets the hens into the chicken house for me with wing-display and chortles.   I've donated the chicken branding iron to Sinsull. She needed it for some ceremony she has planned for a 'Catter who may be sailing into Portland harbor.

The procedure is on Thursday - we take off from here early Wednesday to visit with the Patons en route, before booking into our hotel in the evening and treating ourselves to a meal in the hotel restaurant - amazing food!

I'll be updating as soon as I can get to a PC on Thursday evening.

I'm so jealous that you are able to visit the farm of maeve and true-love. Mosquitos or not, (think of the feast that provides for all the birds), the good vibe has got to do wonderful things for the mind, body and spirit.

Do I recall your procedure is tomorrow Kendall?

Do they have a chickwagon on the roundup? I knew a guy who had a chick wagon -- different sort of thing, though.

We didn't see Headless Jesus - there was too much else to inspect and too many mosquitoes for me to stay out there too long.

Sorry RAP - the only round up was done by Maeve, when the chickens got too close to a forbidden area and she gently shooed them back to their own ground.

Free range chickens? Do they have a roundup every spring and brand the chicks? Do they hire on chickboys for it? What about the fall roundup? I can just hear the songs of the night guard as they circle the flock: "Get along little chickies get along, get along...." and "Little Joe The Chicken Wrangler" and "I'm An Old Chick Hand". Nothing like a chicken stampede, either, with the chickboys trying to circle them back and the lightning cracking overhead, a couple of chickboys trampled....

"Yee-ha! Head 'em up! Gotta get this flock to Machiasport!"

And they put up UNPAINTED bird houses for the wild birds.

I get irritated when I see painted bird houses. They are not natural and birds wont use them.

They gave us a beautiful 5 foot Oak tree. The one I planted for Utah died, and they were kind enough to replace it.
You should see their place, all kinds of life all around them! Flora and Fauna as far as you can see.They have gone back to the land and it is obvious that the land wants them back.

Thank you my dear friends.
