We've had alot of problems with Mr Wilson. We gave him to to neighbors and he came back. He made love to all of his hens and all of ours. He beat up his son, Mr Wilson Jr. and kept him from eating for many days. Today I caught him, after only about 27 miles of chasing him around the farm with a big ol' salmon net. We clipped his wings and sent him home. Mr Wilson Jr was so happy to have his home and hens back. He eye ball"ed the food but made love to 2 hens before settling down for a good meal. Things are back to normal for now. But tomorrow is another day!

Extreme Woodcutting

Here is Dad clearing out a trail over the falls so I can climb out and cut this log off so we can cut it up for firewood. Oh yea, he's blind and can't hear, but for the few of us who do extreme woodcutting that doesn't stop us. Sure there are easier logs to cut, but we would'nt be extreme woodcutters if we cut the easy ones. Near the end of the clip notice a small log over the river, another challange another day.

Shebas bed is done

Yep, Shebas bed is done. We went with Tiger felt. She has forgot about sleeping with Dad. She loves her bed.

We're done planting tree's. We planted 57 fir trees, 38 alder trees, 9 cascara, 4 maple, 2 cedar, 1 ash. They were not bareroot, they were all potted and needed a real hole dug to plant.

My niece got married. I didn't go. I don't go to weddings, just funerals. At funerals no one can talk back to you, or at least the host or hostess can't.

The Forest and the Trees

We got a bunch of free trees today. About 50. We've got trees everywhere but need some weather to plant them.

They had many kinds of trees, from evergreens to cascara. I was so happy to get cascara and they were so happy to get rid of them. We also got alder and they were surprised anyone would want that. Also got some fir, broadleaf maple, cedar and I snuck in some bushes I forget there name.

What came first the chicken or the egg?

The egg came first, then the baby chicken came!

We got 12 new baby chickens. They are brown leghorns, they will lay a white egg. We just moved them in the house because of cold weather on the way and we can keep a close eye on them.

I want another pig! Everytime I see a pork chop I think of Pinky.....

I made Sheba this bed today. She would'nt sleep in the kennel last night. She slept on a chair and about froze to death so I decided to make her her own bed. I may cut off the two posts at the rear, and it needs a pillow. I got that cool photo of the dogs playing poker and another photo of the mona lisa holding a jack rat terrier. I may put some skirting around the bottem. But for now I wait and see if she likes it.

It's been a zoo around here

Yep, Sheba is in the doghouse today. She was up all night waking dad up to let her out. When she would'nt come in he went back to bed. In my dreams I heard this noise that sounded like a small dog jumping on a screen door. When I awoke there was Sheba at the door, wet and cold and not very friendly. She didn't even say "hi" on her way to dads bed.
Dad didn't get much sleep last night and don't want Sheba back. In
the photo it looks like they kissed and made up but I know better. I made a bed for her in my bedroom but she likes a people bed and a electric blanket.

We gave our prize rooster "Mr. Wilson" to the neighbor but he came back today looking for love. He's in the henhouse tonight and I don't hear any cackling (if you know what I mean). It's been a zoo around here today.
