Wow my favourite❤😊

So thankful they have a good home to go to. Maybe they will give Laddie a try and it will work out. He is a very sweet boy. You are being very strong in letting them go so you can move forward. It doesn't make it any easier, though. ❤ Thinking about you.

I agree! My chickens are pets and will be treated as such! They love their cold blueberry snack in the afternoon! ❤

❤❤❤❤❤

❤👍👍👍👍👍

We were super hot today--tomorrow to be 99. Then a cool down on Thursday. It is just too hot! Hope the cooler weather stays. We get the flu shot every year and the pandemic one also--my husband was in the first pandemic vaccine study. It was kinda cool to be part of it. I wasn't able to participate because of my thyroid disease--because it is an autoimmune condition and would have possibly affected the study results. They recently contacted him about doing a new pandemic vaccine study for an oral vaccine. He had never done any medical clinnical trials before this, but since it was a part of history, he wanted to do it. Hope you enjoyed your tomatoes! We are trying to savor the last few we are getting. Had bacon and tomato sandwiches last night. Take care!

Made a batch of bread and butter pickles today. They take all day because you have to let them sit with salt and ice on them for 3 hours--I am so tired. I wish doing the things I enjoy didn't make me tired and achy!

My roo is starting to lose tail feathers. I was thinking he might be starting to molt. Kaos is as much a Mama's boy as Laddie is!

I love your channel! Awesome content 👏

I have seen Laddie dance for Kaos before and thought it was a hoot. I spent some time outside with the chickens this afternoon. One of the hens wanted some cuddles and just sat in my lap for awhile. It's usually a roo wanting my attention. Glad you had a nice day to sit out and spend time with your animal babies. Sounds like things are going to go well once you get back to Oklahoma. It is good that you have plans and that you are starting to pack. That seems like it would help you to feel more secure. Take care!

Good 👍👍👍

Hello 👋

My Mom's lilies are in containers and they are doing well. We had to up-pot them last year and we waited until after the foliage died back--they did well and bloomed this spring. You should do a little research, though--I don't really know anything about them! Chickens are such musical animals! I wonder if they would join in if we started singing.

Sorry you’re having to give up some of the things you love. I know you will miss your plants and animals. It’s a hard thing to do. I am glad you will be staying with your sister. As you said it will take some adjusting. But you will be just fine once you are settled and you have time to process and find a new normal for you. Wish you the best and will enjoy traveling with you on your journey. That is if you post shorts along the way🙏🏻❤🙏🏻

They are growing fast. Hope you are doing.

I wish I could take him! But, I already have a Mama's boy roo who would take great offense! Laddie is a special boy!

They like being in the big chicken area so they can pretend they are the big chickens. Or, they spotted an alien ship hovering in the sky and decided to take cover!

Good 😊

It is a big loss--you need to let yourself grieve. It isn't a baby step--It's a huge step moving to Oklahona! I am glad you will be back with your family. It will be a comfort to reconnect with them as you rebuild. You are strong and will be able to make a future for yourself. I am just so sorry you are having to go through this seemingly out of nowhere--after the strokes wreaked their havoc. I will follow you wherever your adventure takes you! Take care, friend!

He is so pretty! Could barely hear you over the music.

Hello ❤

Look forward to watching the shorts you post .

Powder mildew is that white stuff on leaves. We are getting cooler this week. Next week will be hot ,again .

It is so good to hear your family is going to help. We love you and hope everything goes well in the moving process.

Hello. 🙋‍♀️

Sounds great, Time to move on and be with your sister. All the best Kate. xx

Hey, great news. The lowest day time we have been is 80 degrees.

I haven't tried giving my chickens bread for treats. They will probably like it. We have been trying to get roo boy to not be bossy with my husband so he can tend to them when I am not home. So, we have been going out and letting him give them treats and letting them eat treats out of his hand. One thing my roo loves to do is give his girls treats. It's funny for him to take things out of our hands and toss them to the girls! If bread is a high value treat, maybe roo boy will appreciate it from my husband. It was 101 today--tomorrow supposed to be 100 with a small chance of a pop-up shower. Then we look like we will cool down into the upper 80s for about a week after that. Hope to be able to get out and do some prep for fall planting. It's pretty much time to take a lot of pitiful plants out. My cukes are hanging on. Hoping to make one batch of bread and butter pickles before they croak. It has been a hard summer for me in the garden, too. The heat is hard on us ladies of a certain vintage! Stress doesn't help either. It's ok to have weeds in the garden, though. You are still getting veggies and have lovely flowers in spite of the weeds! We had a huge bird fly low yesterday about dusk. It was so large. Wondering if it was an owl. Starting to worry a little about predators. Our house is in town, but we live near a large area of woods with a river. Lots of wildlife. My dr has chickens and his whole flock of 12 got killed by a racoon recently. He is going to buy some replacements at the fair. I am thinking about buying some, too. He said the 4-H kids raise really friendly chickens and they are all healthy. They auction them at the end of the fair. He said there are kids who don't have family bidding on their chickens and they are the kids he supports. It's either getting some at the fair or raising some chicks this fall. Not sure I have it in me to raise chicks right now. I just need to add a couple for the mental health of my little flock of three. My poor lowest hen is getting bullied too much by her sister wife. It's probably drama related to their husband. Your babies are going to love scratching through the deep litter! I forgot how much they love a good pile of leaves until I let them in the compost. I have been raking it back up for them and adding some food scraps in the mornings. They love it, but I totally need some more leaves. They can really break leaves down fast! We had another baby snake by the back patio this evening. It looked dead, so I was going to get it and toss it over the fence in case it was venomous--didn't want the chickens to eat it and get sick. Silly little thing was just playing dead. When I picked it up with a stick it sprung into action and tried to get away. I still wanted to toss it over the fence in case it was venomous. We caught it in a tupperware container. Once we got it out of the yard, I found it online. It is harmless, but it's defence is to play dead--so funny. The chickens must have scared it before I found it. It is a ring-neck snake. The mother lays 3 to 10 eggs and they hatch in August/September. I have seen 2 so probably will see a few more before summer is over. Sorry for such a long comment! Take care, friend!

It is so nice to have flowers blooming throughout the summer. Really just anything growing this late in the season is refreshing. I started a dozen dwarf dahlias from seed and I only have 3 plants left. Two are finally about to bloom. I have been so intent on keeping them alive to see the blooms that I actually dreamed that one bloomed. I have been thinking about those plants too much! In the dream it was yellow. We will see! We lost a cat that way and it is hard. Hopefully he will stay close. You would probably be creeped out here--we have 2 huge spiders with beautiful webs under the eaves of the house. We kinda enjoy watching them. My roo tries to hop up and get the spider in the back yard, but he hasn't figured out how to reach--I am sure he could get him if he used his wings to propel himself--but he would get web all over his feathers. He is silly just hopping up and down trying to get a treat for his girls. I had a baby snake run across my path today--that creeped me out! I don't mind snakes as long as I know what kind they are and I am not worried about stepping on anything venomous. He better be careful. The chickens could make a miserable end for him--they are brutal with little frogs.

I opened my homemade compost ring yesterday for the chickens to scratch through. It's just last year's fall leaves and veggie scraps. It's like Christmas for them! Helps to pass these scorching hot days. They like hanging out in that area of the yard on hot days because it's shady and I wet it down for them every morning before they get out of their run. Really looking forward to cooler weather. I need to get some fall things started. I enjoy the fall/winter garden the most--no pest pressure and so much more enjoyable temperatures to be outside. My "bush" green beans turned out to be pole beans and they have taken over all their neighbors and it is impossible to harvest anything because it is a snarly ball of vines collapsed on itself. I have a tomato plant that is probably 10 feet tall and they have climbed up and over it. We look like crazy people literally on a ladder picking tomatoes out ot the top of that tomato "tree." Glad Kaos is letting you love on him. I hope he has many good days ahead. Have a good weekend!

I can't wait for fall 🍂.

Keep staying positive and imagining the better life that is coming to you, you will get there so hold on. Paul is a stup!d, lazy, self !sh piece of cr@p and he doesn't deserve any of your precious time and energy. Its to your credit that you can drive regarding a job, something part time would be great, sometimes little local pharmacies need employers to drive prescriptions to patients who cant come in to collect them, what about a couple of days a week in a care home for the elderly? I understand not everyone can do that kind of work but maybe a thought? maybe there are cleaning companies near you that employ people who choose how many hours they do? Something will turn up and when it does your awesome resilience will get you through until the day comes that you can leave. Keep believing in all that you are and don't let anyone or anything make you forget that. I've been really ill so haven't had any energy lately but I'm always watching and sending you lots of love and praying for the happiest outcome for you. Xxxx

The heat really takes it out of you. Not too motivated to work in the yard here either. It was 100 degrees today. Just trying to keep the chickens as cool as possible. The greenstalk sunflower looks like a teddy bear sunflower--it's cute! The pumpkins are cute too. I have finally started getting some cucumbers. They are so hard to see--it drives me crazy how you just suddenly see a huge one that seems to just come from nowhere. Really wish your situation wasn't so difficult. Wishing it was better doesn't do anything to help, but I do wish it was better. Keep sharing your thoughts and dreams! Looking forward will keep you going. I withdraw when things get hard--I can't say it it's good or bad, it's just what I do so I understand needing to take a minute to just be alone and read a book or watch a series and just recouperate a little. Take care, friend.

I bet Kaos and Laddie missed each other! It is hard to know exactly what to do, but he is letting you know he wants out today. Coming inside at night is a good compromise. You take good care of your animals and treat them well and they know it. Love you, too! Glad to see you today!

Jeez, glad everyone is ok ❤

Glad the wee man is doing fine. Hes a happy wee thing, You're doing a great job.

I glad he is doing better.

I love seeing your garden (and the chickens of course 😊) your garden is so spacious & big I would love to have so much space, in the UK most of us have little gardens, I try to squash as many vegetables in as possible I even have a herb bed on top of one of the chicken runs 😄 needing a ladder to harvest! x

The pumpkins are growing fast! It is a good idea to put the top of the tree in for the chickens. They will enjoy it and you will enjoy watching them climb all over it! You will know when the time is right for you to make your move. I wish Paul would come around and get better, but that doesn't look like it is going to happen. Biding your time and preparing for your future sounds like a good plan. Take care, friend.

It's 90 degrees today. Stay cool.

Thankful he is better and happy being inside with Mom. He is lucky he has such tender loving care!

Wow! You really got some wind! Take care!

Oh, no! It makes me sad, too! You can't stop the wind from blowing! Just sorry it got your sunflowers!

Glad you're getting some rain. We are hot and dry here with high humidity. No rain in the forecast. I am so ready for fall! The chickens are staying in the dirt in their shady spots--we call their favorite area their fort. They hang out there more than anywhere else. The teenagers are so cute. It is amazing how fast they grow! Your wildflowers are still looking good. I am enjoying the sunflowers through your channel as none of the ones I planted made it. Although, I do have some dwarf sunflowers coming up in the greenstalk. Maybe I will get some blooms before frost. I planted them in the greenstalk last year and they were cute--I had the seeds left and decided to give them a try. Looks like you will have at least one pumpkin for fall. Hope you get well--you do sound better. Take care!

I dislike poke berry plants.

We are on back side of Debbie. Last night we got 4 or 5 inches of rain.

The last thing you need is pneumonia--glad you went to the doctor before that happened. You have been really sick! I really think you have 3 girls and 1 roo in the teenage group. Laddie is wanting your attention! We have had older animals who lost hearing and were probably half blind. It is hard to watch them age. Hope Kaos gets back to himself. I am glad he is tolerating being inside and is sleepong with Mom. He is as much comfort you you as you are to him. Hope Debby comes your way. She did not grace us with anything. It is a million degrees here. Take care!

You sound better.

I am so thankful Kaos is better! I hope you can get some sleep tonight. Maybe the chemiclals will clear their bodies soon. My roo crowed really young. It was so cute! I know you will be glad to get over that bug. You probably caught it at the hospital. Hope you have a good weekend and get to catch up on your sleep. ❤

You sound so much better. I hope your cats get better.
