Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....

Another....
.... yucky, cloudy day in Coopville:
Didn't let them out in the yard because of all the mud, so the gang got an extra
special treat of corn and grapes:
They sure do love that corn!
Most of Sweet-pea's feathers have grown back and she is not being picked on too much anymore!
In the coop - getting ready for night-night!
Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow.....

Did you grow up with one of these?
We had one like this. The stove sat on a raised platform that was painted red. It was a wood stove, then it was converted to burn coal and then retro-fitted to burn oil. There was a pedal on the bottom to open the big oven door. Mom would use a polish on it to make it shine!
Every Sunday my Dad would make pancakes on the oval plates on the stove and at Christmas time we would burn orange peels on them. Can still remember that wonderful aroma!

Rambunctious Benji
He was just so darned excited to get out of the pen on Saturday:
He kept chasing the girls all over the yard ... and he caught a few of them too!
Poor girl had to jump up on the rocks to avoid him!
Woke up Sunday morning to this:
More critter tracks by the coop:
A huge raven:
The pend stayed nice and dry:
Loaded the coop up with fresh hay:

Friday Night Steam
Wow - just wow!

If you’re asking model railroaders and railway enthusiasts in the United States, where to find one of the most outstanding model railroad layouts, they will probably answer, this is the “Piermont Division” made by Howard Zane. In fact, the “Piermont Division” is a superb HO scale permanent display layout, constructed to museum quality. Howard Zane’s 2,850 square foot model railroad layout, showcasing his artistry in model railroad building and rail modeling, is acclaimed as one of the finest and largest private layouts.
There are over 22 scale miles of track, historically accurate architecture, overwhelming landscapes and of course America’s greatest steam locomotives. Although fictional, the “Piermont Division” is filled with scenes and structures you would swear you have seen before. For decades, rail modeler Howard Zane has produced scratch built, custom structures of all kinds in HO scale and O scale for model railroads.
Apart from Howard Zane’s Piermont Division, there are many other beautiful layouts in our little world of model trains. Pilentum Television would like to visit every single layout and record on video, but a trip from Germany, where Pilentum Television is based, to the US is far too expensive. Therefore, Forrest Nace, a videographer from the US, provided Pilentum Television with some exquisite video footage. Forrest made a documentary about the “Piermont Division”, which is available on https://nacesvideography.com. In this movie we see some short video sequences from his documentary.
