MEANDERING


I haven't had anything of any interest to the whole group of you for several days so...nothing here.

Sitting here, working on my newest project, I have been thinking of things that I might put here, so, taking a meandering path, here is what I have thought of.


TECHNOLOGY:
I accidently was able to transfer pictures from my camera to my new computer one time, now I can't find the path. My baby bro told me last night he would show me AGAIN, but we both got distracted and we forgot AGAIN. I have a few pictures on the camera that you might be interested in but they, sadly, remain on the camera for now.

CHICKENS:
I lost a chicken several weeks ago to a trap. It got caught inbetween the hogwire fence (wide weave to keep the larger wild animals OUT and the chicken wire to keep the chickens IN) and It was hidden and not found until the ants had feasted very well.
I almost lost another chicken to a similar trap. I went out to feed the chickens yesterday and there were chicken feathers all over the ground. I looked for chicken parts, believing that an owl or some such thing had gotten in and feasted once again but no, not so. Last night when I was filling all the containters with fresh water, I spotted the poor little chicken trapped between the large basin that I have in there for the duck to rest in (not big enough for the duck to swim but enough for it to get it's duck longings fulfilled), trapped between the duck basin and the fence. I pulled the basin away from the fence and out the chicken popped. Poor thing had spent the whole day trapped in that place. Fortunately, it was protected again the sun for most of the day.

GROWING OLD ALONE:
Another 'fortunately' I am not really alone. besides my Father in Heaven, I am surrounded by people who love me and have people who love me that live far away. But, being a widow with a GREAT attitude I can count the benefits.
I CAN DO WHAT I WANT TO DO WHEN I WANT TO DO IT.
DON'T HAVE TO CONSULT ANYONE ABOUT PLANS.
CAN GO TO BED OR NOT WHEN I WANT TO.
CAN LET THE DUST AND CAT HAIR BUILD UP UNTIL I, ME, MYSELF, CANNOT STAND IT.
COOK OR NOT IF I WANT TO OR NOT
HAVE WHAT I WANT TO EAT AND NOT WHAT SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO EAT
GO OR STAY WHEN EVER I WANT

I would love to have my HONEY back again but I try not to look back. Loving life the Lord has given me.

Thats it for now, until I can pull those pictures off the camera and on the computer to share with you

Too bad you couldn't watch the whole video. I knew you should have got a Mac. LOL

I loved reading this blog. I have seen yours before but lost the url. I found it again on my sister's blog (Brenda).
You have suce a positive outlook and obviously enjoy life. Taking care of animals or kids can keep a person going when nothing else can. Keep it up.
I loved reading about your farm animals cause it reminded me of when I was younger and went to visit my grandparents and helped feed the chickens and goats and had to watch out for the large rat traps. They lived in Texas where mice were really big, ha!
I will check back in and see how you are doing down on the farm.
