and the winner is.......406... patty from portland oregon--
we managed to show it live on the explore camera by setting it up in th e
orffice area of th e house ( warmer) we almost did it in th e yard... but the
table just fit-- and the fire was cozy.
we showed the putting on of the stickers ( numbers) and the entry of the
hens... who cooperated within 5 minutes..-- then the pealing off of the
stickers... and the chickens went back to th e hen house. it really works
very well...
*************
lesson of the day---
noel's puppy poo is very loose YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW THIS- i did talk to
goerge and he mad a very logical suggestion-- give them a tiny bit of the
acidopalis ? to get the gut going in the right direction..
we dont seem to be able to locate ours at the moment-- so i will get some
on our daily vet trip... vanilla has a strange lump on her foot--
tomorrow we start 4 days of spay neuters. and will need to set up an ICU
here without upsetting noel.. lori?????
****************
i read the directions on the gopro and some comment was made about "some
older computers did not have a proper xxxx plug to keep batteries charged
it also does not read th e memory card--
my guess is my ancient but honorable computer..
it was $3500 dell about 8 years ago.. course by now my cell phone does
more.... and theresa's is a new laptop--- if i could just find the on
button/.....
*******
earlene was here yesterday and will be here overnight,.... much to chaos
pleasure. when earlene sits with noel and the nuppies chaos stands at the door
and "talks" with a collection of noises... very interesting.
****************
speaking of noises--- mary is coming up to the front door and braying--
this is for a handful of carrots which is kept just inside the front
door.
an added attraction....
**************
steph - washing machine steph ---said she would be here today. she is a
good tiny puppy sitter.
we need to make a distinction between the capabilities of th e various
puppy sitters.--
micromanaging puppies makes for a very ;lazy mom.. not micromanaging
makes for a very messy bed.
so it is a balancing game
.and then there are sitters capable of delivery situations-- we need to
line up those for the impending olicve arrival..that would be earlene--
gwen--hilary--megan-- colleen 1- did i forget anyone??
*****************
bob will be here today-- there are a couple chores..... we need fencing
around the coal stove itn the deagle house and the wood/coal stove in the nutt
house
good indoor jobs'
**************
jack started the dryer vent- has the pieces all lined up and will i finish
it tomorrow morning... we will be cracking a bottlo of champainge over it
!!
*******************
and then we can take down all the scaffolding in the arena which is
dripping with laundry..carrying around frozen 6' spikes of bedding looses it's
charm.--- at least it is clean.
we are desparate for that dryer..
***************
i will get out of here somehow this morning---
