RL is coming at 9:15 so d-in-love can take g-son to meet other g-ma in Asheville to look at base guitars. G-son has been teaching himself to play the base with a borrowed one and he has gotten pretty good at it.
After all the girls got here and we got them settled in for breakfast I went out and got chores done a little late.
I grabbed a cup of coffee and an English muffin daughter had sent over that she made with sour dough starter for my breakfast on the way out the door.
We all headed out to get our Thursday errands done. First stop was the dump, then on to meet a couple cake customers , then the bank and PO , A fruit stand to buy a cantelope and a couple ears of corn for CA to eat since she loves corn so much , then to pick up the broken lawn mower deck spring and then to get gas for the truck and lawn mowers and last stop was at Cook Out for the girls some chicken nuggets and cheese quesadillas for lunch.
We barely beat the rain home today and as soon as we got inside the rain poured down for about 30 minutes and then the sun came back out.
Another customer picked up a caramel cake while we ate our lunch and then we all settled in to watch some movies on TV.
Daughter and d-in-love came in about the same time around 2:00 and daughter got ready to take another test and d-in-love worked on some craft videos for virtual VBS this year.
Hubbie and I took care of all the girls who played and watched a Minnion movie on TV.
Another bad storm blew up with high wind, thunder and lightening and more pouring rain leaving a total of 1.5 inches for both storms today.
After everyone left hubbie and I walked around and surveyed the damage but thankfully only a few small limbs down and more driveway ruts was all we found.
I started moving some chickens around and the first things I moved was the red Silkie hen with the week old 6 chicks from the small condo brooder box to the bigger brooder box in the lower hen lot.
She acted very thankful for more space.
Then I got the lower hen lot house ready and started picking out some pullets from the first incubator bunch of chicks who are now 8 weeks old . It took a while to hem them up and catch them but I would rather do this during daylight. I picked out for sure pullets and put them in the hen house. They look lost in the bigger house and even after I added the three oldest pullets to make it eleven total in there they still have so much room I will probably leave them in the house for at least a couple days to get them accustomed to their new house and to each other since it is supposed to be cooler these next couple days.
I moved the three silkie chicks that were with the bigger pullets into the silkie lot to empty the old guinea house and lot.
My plan is to fix the torn netting over this lot and make this the home of the first 6 guinea keets that I hatched and decided to keep.
Whew !!!!! That's a lot to keep up with but thankfully it is done. I will make pics tomorrow when everyone settles down.
I am tired tonight and thankful for an evening of rest.
Thankful for the blessings of this day.
God Bless and Good Night
