boring house keeping stuff.

tonight i finally got around to looking at the outside chicken coop. the staff very nervously confessed to dragging branches and hog fuel in there..oh yeah...it is all coming out again. the hog fuel breaks down and wrecks the gravel...the gravel is there to protect the birds from living in (and humans from slipping and falling in) chicken and duck feces fouled up mud. keep dumping biogradable crap on the intentionally placed dry and drainable and easily cleanable surface and it will break down into sludge (just like it did in the last chicken area.) in a few weeks they will have their nice outside grass and soft ground area...just give me some time to grow it and fence it.

so yet again a gentle reminder to both paid and unpaid folks..quit mucking around with my ground areas.
grass is grass...gravel is gravel...hog fuel is hog fuel and sand is sand..each particular surface area here is PLANNED for a reason...it is it's own little independent island put there for a particular purpose so leave them alone as i get each area done and let them do what they are supposed to be doing.

i was lucky enough yesterday to rescue one of my bottom fitted bed sheets off of the floor in dusty and lucky's room BEFORE they pooped or peed on it. i got it as far as the house laundry room and then forgot about it. big mistake cuz today it made it to manny's bed and we all know what manny does on his bed...oh yay...that thing ain't never going back on my bed again.

anyway despite some minor irritants...i am not overly annoyed..i have spent the last month feeling upset and frustrated, my angst needs a reprieve. but please everyone think about things before doing them cuz tomorrow i have to haul that hog fuel out and i am now down one much needed fitted kingsized bed sheet.
oh the petty trials and tribulations of living in rescue.
whatever.

sam can run like the (flabby) wind..i saw this tonight when he chased some poor visiting cat out of our bottom field.

i can't find the advantage so tomorrow i guess i will use revolution, but i need to not be so tired when i titrate out the individual correct doses.

esther seem brighter/perkier tonight so that is good.

can someone please remind me to buy a shorter extension cord cuz this pile at my feet looks trashy and tacky and i keep forgetting.

still looking for a couple of the 2011 tax receipt books....the accountants are stalled on the year end stuff until they all make it down to them.

i spent quite a bit of time tonight peering at the mud down in the bottom field...is that grass seed going to start to sprout or not?..it has been almost a couple of weeks now and i am getting impatient for an answer. the god or goddess of grass growing damn well ought to know, we have a strict and limited timeline of grass growing opportunity before the whole green grazing grass dream for this year is screwed.

please hurry up and grow!!!!
