The chickens have a new home, the mighty Cluckheim Keep. There are some leveling and roof issues to be worked out this weekend, but Cluckheim Keep should be reasonably fortified against predators. They can’t tunnel into it, and those walls are pretty hard to chew through.
it’s a northern frost toad. they eat granite.
Tiny toad. Miss Lyra with Tiny Toad. That girl is absolutely fearless and non-squeamish when it comes to getting dirty and handling critters. Her brother is a bit more cautious in that respect. He would have looked at the toad, but he wouldn’t have touched it. And he wouldn’t have come running, toad between thumb…
i will physically kill you. do you understand me?
“Rachel from Cardholder Services” did not heed my warning. Rachel is now on my Wood Chipper List. That’s a technical term that describes a list I’ve made of people who will be….gently corrected…once I have taken over. I used to be nice, or at least reasonably polite, with people who cold-call the house to beg for…

One of the silliest things I’ve seen in a long time—the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. These are folks who think the human race should stop procreating until we die out and the biosphere can recover.

Best fake ad ever. If you’re a parent, you’ll find it hysterically funny. If you’re not, you may find it a wee bit offensive. Either way, put that drink away before you click “play”.
I just had to go and thumb my nose at fate. Not two hours after I posted that thing about the joys of owning chickens and how we haven’t lost a single one yet, a fox stopped by our front yard to help himself to a free lunch. I was upstairs and heard the birds…
fakin’ it.
And another example of people making up stuff to make themselves look like war heroes. What kind of kills me about this one is that the guy served honorably in the MN National Guard, and was actually deployed to Afghanistan and Kosovo. Why would he feel the need to embellish his service record? At least…
If you’re a libertarian-leaning female, and you don’t wear this wookiee dress to the polls come November, you are wasting your vote.
