Thank you all for the outpouring of love for the little family who lost their wife/mother and son/brother in a very tragic accident, you all are so kind. ❤️ I am sharing there Go Fund Me, it is to cover their funeral expenses because they did not have life insurance and of course no one can plan for something this horrific. 😔 I would also like to know if there is an interest in doing a fundraiser for this little family. I would be happy to organize it and donate myself but I would need other donations and people interested in participating. Last night we took them a few groceries and they are just so lost and so broken. Holding this little girl who just lost her mama while she cried was more than words can describe. They were so very grateful just for the few groceries, I know they would be grateful for anything we can do for them.

Yesterday we were reminded of how precious and fragile life is by a horrific tragedy that hit too close to home. 😔 On Wednesday afternoon I picked up a couple of my 12 yr olds little girlfriends and took them swimming for the afternoon and then they both decided to spend the night. After swimming I got pizza for everyone and it was just a very nice day. There's just something about being with happy, giggly girls that just makes your day better. The next morning we made muffins for everyone's breakfast and then I took all of the girls and dropped them off with their moms. One of them had a doctor's appointment and we were cutting it close so I just met her mom at the doctor's office and she thanked me. We had a very brief conversation and then I left. Just a few short hours later that mom and little girl along with her 16 yr old brother were in a horrific car accident just a couple of miles from our house. By some miracle, because she was in the back seat and the left side of the car, the little girl survived with just some bumps and scrapes but had to be cut out of the car. But her mom and brother did not make it. 😔 My daughter is very close with this little girl and was just devastated. To see and speak to someone only for them to be gone a few hours later is so hard to wrap your mind around. And the intersection where it happened is one I use almost daily and never even think about how dangerous it could be. 😔 And now this sweet little girl has lost her mom and brother and a man has lost his wife and son and it's just so very tragic. We are going to try to help them in any way that we can because they are barely scraping by and can't even pay for their funerals. Hug your loved ones tight and just remember that tomorrow is not promised.

Had anyone ever used this for their chickens? I have used it before for dogs but decided to try it with my chickens. My black/mottled pen are definitely fat bottom girls but some of my other colors are lighter than I would like so I decided to try this. You can add it to their food or water. Anyone else have experience with Dyne?

Bless this precious child! She crawled under our very large deck to collect at least a dozen Silkie eggs because the jerks keep laying under there. 🙄 But she did it so her poor mama who is also terrified of spiders, didn't have to. 🥰

Today is the last day of this troublemaker's prison sentence and we all will rejoice when he can finally go outside. 😂 We had to quarantine him for 10 days after the brat tried to gnaw my arm off. 🙄🤪 And now we know he isn't rabid, which I already knew because he's vaccinated. 😜

Y'all, why do these babies want to have babies? This little girl isn't even a year old and she is so broody, like p**f up and wave her wings like an ostrich at anyone who comes near her, broody. 😂 She even disappeared overnight and we looked everywhere but couldn't find her. I was sure she was a goner but there she was the next morning. Now is is in broody jail, lol.

Last week was a heck of a dang week! First, we find out that the water pump and timing chain is going out on hubby's Ta**us and it had already been leaking antifreeze for a few weeks. Do yourself a favor and never get an Ecoboost engine. 😔 These repairs cost $5k and up. It's an older car with a lot of miles and not worth a lot so we decided it would be best to just sell it but dang, we could hardly give it away with all the issues it had. I ended up selling it to Carvana. We didn't get a lot but it was better than nothing. And then I had to find a vehicle for myself because I gave my Charger to my husband for his work commute. I absolutely loved my Charger, she was my baby, and it made me very sad to let her go. I figured since I wasn't the one who chose a stupid Ford and that I had given him my baby then I was the one who got the new car this time, lol. (If you drive a Ford I don't mean it personally 🤪). So I found this diamond of a car a couple of hours from us. She is a 2010 Dodge Challenger srt8 with just under 41k miles and one owner. Her previous owner was an older gentleman and he obviously loved this car because she looks brand new. The price was good so we drove the 2 hours to test drive her but on the way hubby hit a deer. 😔 By that time I was about to have a nervous breakdown after also being attacked by my cat the day before I was just about done with everything. 😔 But the damage to the Charger was cosmetic and didn't affect the engine so we made it to the dealership to see the Challenger. She was just as nice in person but had a couple of minor mechanical issues. So the dealership actually being all above board decided it would be best to change all 16 spark plugs just in case but they couldn't get it done that day so we had to come back home. But we went back yesterday and she was purring like a kitten so we bought her and she's all mine. 😁 I swear hitting that deer traumatized me though because I was a nervous wreck the whole 2 hour drive home because they way our luck has been going I was terrified of hitting another deer. But we got home safely and I love her. 🥰 She is actually my dream car just a little older. I have wanted a S**t Pack for several years and she's close. She has a 6.1 liter Hemi engine but also a cat delete, tune, and cold air intake so it bumps the horsepower up to about 450. 😎 So after the hell of last week at least I got this beautiful car out of all of it. 😀 And now you all know that I am a muscle car girlie and Mopar lover. 😉

I purchased 3 Cochin babies at the swap yesterday and they are adorable 🥰. The calico and Millie chicks will go in my partridge/Millie pen and the chocolate mottled will go with my mottleds. They all came from Toni's Feathered Chickens in Dover, TN. I can't wait to add them to my breeding program!
