Spying on Charlie

I put fresh hay in the coop. Charlie HATES that because it messes up his little love nest. Caught him making a new one and I don't think he was amused!




He's just so funny! I'll never have another rooster like him!

Treat time in the afternoon - salad greens:



All of it was gone in less than five minutes!



Of course Laverne and Charlie came up on the deck later looking for more. Laverne will peck on the glass to get my attention. They know the 'goodie bag' is right by the door!

Even robots get bored






Maybe they really CAN think!

Today's funny :o)









March winds a-blowin'

It was beautiful yesterday - but cold AND windy:
(Up the volume to hear it!)


Got a lot of laundry done:


Charlie does not kike the wind -he scooted the girls back in the pen:


Hubby and I had planed to put this up, but we were just too tired. We'll try again this weekend.



It's always something with this place. Tomorrow the burner guy is coming to clean the coils on the oil burner that gives us our hot water. We just had it done back in October. Hard water calcium build-up is just the only disadvantage of having your own well water. In the summer, we are going to invest in an electric water heater.  It will be worth every penny!

It's the Law!


Here is why things don’t happen the way you like.
It’s the law. You may be familiar with some.
1. Law of Mechanical Repair -
After your hands become coated with grease,
your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to   pee.
   
2. Law of Gravity
- Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped,
will roll to the least accessible place in the universe.
 
3. Law of Probability
-The probability of being watched is
directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.
 
4. Law of Random Numbers
- If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal;
someone always answers.
  
5. Variation Law
- If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in
will always move faster than the one you are in now.
  
6. Law of the  Bath
- When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone will ring.
   
7. Law of Close Encounters
- The probability of meeting someone you know INCREASES dramatically
when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.
 
8. Law of the Result
- When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, IT WILL!!!
   
9. Law of Biomechanics
– The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.
 
10 . Law of the Theater & Hockey Arena
- At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle,
always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats
several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early
before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks
in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs
or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance.
The aisle people also are very surly folk.
 
 11. The Coffee Law
- As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask
you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.
  
12. Murphy's Law of Lockers
- If there are only 2 people in a locker room,
they will have adjacent lockers.
   
13. Law of Physical Surfaces
- The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down
on a floor are directly correlated to the newness and cost
of the carpet or rug.
  
14. Law of Logical Argument
- Anything is possible IF you don't know what you are talking about.
 
15. Law of Physical Appearance
- If the clothes fit, they're ugly.
 
16. Law of Public Speaking
- A CLOSED MOUTH GATHERS NO FEET!
 
17. Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy
- As soon as you find a product that you really like,
they will stop making it OR the store will stop selling it!
  
18. Doctors' Law
- If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go
to the doctor, by the time you get there, you'll feel better.
But don't make an appointment and you'll stay sick.

Today;s funny :o)

H/T to Barb!

Nothing interesting

I've been busy trying to get all the windows clean.  I'm changing the blinds, curtains and drapes, but
the older I get, the longer it takes to get stuff done. My knees ache from climbing up and down the step ladder. And I can't seem to reach as far as I used to! I think my arms shrunk.

The mornings are cloudy, but warm - more sap dripping out of the trees:


 This is an odd pattern for it.  Have o idea what that yellow stuff is.
It's sticky as all get out:


 By late morning it's sunny out. That big fly came back for a visit:


 Poor Charlie and the girls. They want OUT! But I didn't have time to watch them. But they did get a special treat!


Windy!


Going to take tomorrow off from posting and see if I can get the rest of the upstairs done. Next week  it's the rec and laundry room. Ugh.
