clean old fashioned fun!)

Today's funny :0)

A man is walking home alone late one foggy Halloween night, when behind him he hears:

BUMP... BUMP... BUMP...

Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street toward him.

BUMP... BUMP... BUMP...

Terrified, the man begins to run toward his home, the casket bouncing quickly behind him.

FASTER... FASTER... BUMP... BUMP... BUMP....

He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes in, slams and locks the door behind him. However, the casket crashes through his door, with the lid of the casket clapping.

clappity-BUMP...clappity-BUMP... clappity-BUMP... on his heels, as the terrified man runs.

Rushing upstairs to the bathroom, he locks himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is coming in sobbing gasps.

With a loud CRASH the casket breaks down the door.
Bumping and clapping toward him.
The man screams and reaches for something, anything...

All he can find is a box of cough drops! Desperate, he throws the cough drops at the coffin ...

...and...of...course,

...the coffin stops!

Gotcha!

Smile..

Have decided what to do about the boys - I know one or both are going to have to go and soon.

I asked my neighbors if they would want one. They most definitely do NOT.

I bring out the camera and take pictures of both.

Off to Tractor supply (again) with a poster offering them free to a good home. I notice there are other ones selling chickens. Mine are free, so I think I have a better chance.... I hope.

We shall see........................

Airplane and Partial Solar Eclipse Calais 2013 May

Phillip Calais took this image of a plane flying during a partial solar eclipse in early May 2013 from Monument Hill in Fremantle, Australia. He took this photo

using a Canon 40D with Canon 400 mm f5.6 lens and a 2x teleconverter. The photo was taken at 7:05 a.m. and the sun was only about 1.4 degrees above the horizon.

The moon will blot out the sun Sunday (Nov. 3) in an eclipse that will be visible from eastern North America to the Middle East.
Sunday's celestial event is a relatively rare occurrence known as a hybrid solar eclipse. It will begin as an annular or "ring of fire" eclipse along the path of totality, then shift to a total eclipse as the moon's shadow sweeps across our planet.
What you'll observe depends on where you live. Skywatchers in the eastern United States, northeastern South America, southern Europe, the Middle East and most of Africa will be treated to a partial solar eclipse, while people along the path of totality in central Africa will see the sun totally obscured by Earth's nearest neighbor for a few dramatic moments.

How stores decorate for Halloween

A candy store

Walmart?

A vintage clothing shop

A Ralph Lauren shop

A store in New Orleans

A clothing store

A furniture store

A storefront in Japan

A gift shop

And as a lover all chickens, this is the best:

A feed store in Florida

And a big H/T to Terry for being brave enough to stand in front of a pink, spider wearing rooster!

Update:

Picture problem fixed - now I know what I did wrong!

Today's funny :0)

Which One?

Have to let one of the roosters go. Poor Ethel and Lucy are exhausted from the two boys. I would have to wait until Spring to get more hens, though. It's really not fair to the girls.

They are missing feathers on their backs and are getting bald on top of their heads. AND they have stopped giving me eggs.

Goldie is so handsome, but turning out to be a real stinker. Plus, he is getting mean.Very mean.

Charlie isn't so good looking, but he is very tame. Or on the other hand, I can get rid of them all and start fresh the following year.

They're only chickens, right? Right?
