[Overtaxed]

The day I awake to my own rooster crowing will be a glorious day to me.

If you really want to annoy the neighbors, get a peacock!

Went to pick up Miss Kitty from the pet sitter and am having some lunch. Next up...the closet to the office. Aaargghhhh!!

Their call

[2Jedismom]

When do you actually move?

We have two utility poles in our back yard, right next to each other. One is brand new, with electric on it...the other is falling down, but still has phone service to the house on it. I called the phone company and they are going to move the phone stuff onto the new pole and take down the old one, so I'll just have the one pole to deal with. It's hard to explain, but it's why we don't have a privacy fence in that back corner...we wanted that old pole out before we put it up. Here...I'll take a picture in a sec and show you what I mean.

Anyway...since we're expecting phone workers here, the chickens are put up in the coop. They are none too happy with me. Every time I go out the back yard, they run to the door of their coop and stare at me expectantly...

Sigh.

Oh, and that's not all!

When I was chasing the chickens around, trying to get them into the coop, I stumbled over Steve's heavy duty metal chair out there and broke my toe. I'm convinced it's broken...it's blue, won't bend without excruciating pain and hurts half way up my foot!

Nothing can be done for it, though...

Here...this section between the back of our shop and the front part of our neighbor's fence is the only part that isn't privacy fenced in our yard now. That's because it's city easement. See the two poles, one is grey, the other is black, there on the right? We need to get that old black looking pole out before we fence that part off. Currently it just has hog panels stuck up there.

Steve has a plan where the fence will be simply "bolted" into place, instead of screwing or nailing it...that way it will be removable, in case access is needed on the easement.

Oh, and see that blue-ish chair, down in the lower right-hand corner? That's the chair I stumbled over. Josh is on his way to check on the unhappy chickens...
