Wednesday = Bridge

Well, besides playing bridge today, at which I SUCKED, and going to the grocery store, at which I excel, I did a few things.

Watered the garden again today.  The pond is getting rather low.  It's down about 3 feet.  And I am pulling water out of it on a daily basis.  But, hurricane season starts today, soooo.... be careful what you wish for.

Jim brought tomatoes today from the friendly neighborhood organic farmer.

So now, on top of my hugely ginormous list of things to do tomorrow, I have to find time to can tomatoes.  Poor me.  We also got our income tax returns in the mail today, so I can knock off a few bills.   When I get time to sit down and pay them.

Took walkies today and got a flower and a butterfly

what is it Sister Sister?

the color on these were exquisite

Then I came home and cleaned out the baybays brooder box.  MMMM new shavings smell.

The big coop now smells like blueberries due to the large number of same we have been giving the cockers.  Interesting.

My egg production is way down now for a month.  I get between 3-5 eggs per day.  Two cockers are broody, but the other 7 aren't laying well.

And I have found a way around JW.  It got so that he would attack me no matter what I was doing or where.  So when I first walk out and see him, I pick up a handful of stuff and throw it at him.  Since he can't throw, this cows him and he won't attack.  But I always have to be near something I can grab and throw but not hurt him.  But he is really getting impossible.  I'm thinking I'm keeping a bay bay rooster and parting ways with JW.  I really need two roosters for the number of hens I have anyway.

I now have to go and prep the toms for tomorrow.
