bring candy from hiding spot

dejunk hot spot basement last week empty file folders (I have many and always thinking I need all of them) fell where I couldn't reach bc we had to move furniture while rug was put in. so today: I will toss these files as I have had them way too long and no one wants them. (one of those areas that I have too many of these - keeping organization stuff that will bury me if I don't get rid of it. sounds so silly that I feel like it is too good to let go but I will (wow 2 large heavy garbage gone - kind of embarrassing how many papers I kept that didn't need keeping. I am giving dh the job of going through the really important papers

Believe you can do it!

Work on dining table.

really interesting DNANCY. when i was younger I wanted to have chickens. I used to read up on them. the dining room table at your house is looking better and better each day!!!! keep up the great work.

A neighbor said that she uses cedar shavings for bedding for her birds. I've been thinking of getting some of that later found it at w-mart.

Harriet thanks for the chicken news. Lost one hen today of old age I'm sure not too sad as she had a good life and I saw it coming. So there it's less crowded still learning how many works for the space we have here. I cleaned the nest boxes out and the pen floor again. I think I remember reading that some where about the cedar shavings. I was concerned that they would eat it but that's with chicks & I don't have any chicks at the moment.

Ours have been helping me clean out the freezer. I am going to see how they do with a half of a pumpkin/squash seeds and all one of these days. They like to eat bugs and old grapes are their fav.! After cleaning the pen I nearly forgot to put in the ladder one loves to roost on top of it. I pulled weeds and one hen kept with in 2-3' of me so this is great for the grand kids.

Just realized I forgot some of the other nest boxes so will need to get out and do that in the morning. I'm reading about vit. d for hens now that's a concept. I felt much better when P. Allen Smith said his hens don't lay in the winter either seems to happen to everyone.

Check out holiday prep. Thread Harriet has put up.
