I sneezed 304 times yesterday...

Well, maybe that is a "bit" of an exageration, but it felt like it!!! Weed and grass were the pollen's of choice in our area yesterday and are forecast to be moderate today. I opted to only cut and trim the back part of the property, for two reason's, that is where we spend most of our time and it was the area that needed it the most...pretty sound reasoning for a man, huh??? I timed it and that took me 4 hours!!!

Oh, and before I forget, Nitschke killed another snake...I need to design a badge for him that I can add to the blog for each kill...kinda like the WWII pilots put on their planes for each plane they shot down...Unfortunately (obviously for the snake) but also for Nitch is that we will really have to watch him very closely now when we travel, because up here in our area, the snakes are non-poisonous, but other regions of the country have both...yikes...

Friday night we went to the Manitowoc County Fair to look at livestock and eat junk food!!!

I think next year we are going to try and expand our flock to include a few ducks and perhaps a few Barred Plymouth Rock's. We saw some really cool ducks, one that caught our eye was entirely black...don't know the breed, but very pretty!!!

If I was to make one improvement at the fair, I would have a booth set up in each livestock area that is manned by experts in that particular livestock breed, so people like us could ask questions...

Today we are going to chill, get some more stuff done, but not exert ourselves too much!!! Sunday's are for relaxation or should be anyway...until later...hope everyone enjoys their day!!!

Peace...R Dean

Breakfast time...

More Fair pics...

Cows without a tail....kind of like "eyes without a face" circa 1980..Billy Idol

Female Muschovy...a must have after we get our chickens!

Jan and I weren't sure of the breed? Faith..is it a Clydesdale?

Guess what? What? Chicken butt! Inside joke for SFG! :-)

Quick..someone call Ross..I found Marcel!

Okay...I warned you that I had an odd sense of humor..just some "Friends" trivia there..did you get it? No? That's okay...most people wouldn't! Marcel only lasted one season and he was very disliked by the cast....Poor Marcel!
