Been awhile

2011-04-03T19:17:00.000-06:00

Been awhile since i posted.........I really used this to keep track of ducks...cats....rabbits.....I never write that stuff down....but did a really good job of documenting some dates....so we can remember them in the future.......

Pretty much retired from real estate.....so have been enjoying my free time playing farm town on facebook.....anyone need a neighbor I am available.....and second life.......

No more rabbits.....but added one more cat.....december 28 2010..thanks to the girl holding her......bob the 12 yr male is great with her...but the 7 year old Buffy.....my cat chases her all the time.....she doesn't hurt her but she has to run and hide......so maybe just being mom and teaching her how to defend herself from other cats etc......nice thought huh......

Let's put the seniors in jail, and the criminals in a nursing home.
This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks. They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental
and medical treatment , wheel chairs etc. And they'd receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly if they fell or needed assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes, and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.
They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool, and education.
Simple clothing , shoes, slippers, P.J.'s and legal aid would be free, on request.
Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard -- with gardens.
Each senior could have a P.C. a T.V. Radio, and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of directors , to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct, that would be strictly adhered to.

The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone, and unsupervised.
Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week.
Live in a tiny room , and pay $5000.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out.
Justice for all.

Canadians Antonio and Alison Marquez have been living in Victoria, British Columbia for over 10 years now, traveling to warmer climates during the vicious winters. They decided to buy a vacation home in Belize where they can spend the winter holidays basking in the sun. The biggest challenge is finding the right property for that's within their $150,000 budget and is a short walk to the beach. They're needs are pretty simple - a one room cabin would be fine, as long as it has a view of the water, good-sized kitchen and enough room to have a living area and bedroom space.

Came home yesterday and one was missing before i left for work...thought it escaped....so they all slept together for second night in a row...this morning the little ones thought they would go outside with the other ones.....so when i came home from work....all that was left was ONE white one....the others dead...saw one for sure...neck pecked out....crap....scary....ok you win...no more ....so took the remaining one to jenny...put under the house...safe and sound....and gets his food all to myself...figures my guess..that's the rooster!!!!

Kendall Causeway About to Give Way
2009-05-11

Only the weatherman can say if the weekend’s heavy rains signal an early start to the rainy season. In the south though, there’s not much question about it. 7News has confirmed reports that the Sittee River is swollen and about to go over the low lying Kendall Causeway. Heavy rains in the south over the weekend have seen a sharp rise in the river’s level. When the causeway is cut-off, it causes a major disruption to business as usual in a third of the country and oil exports.
Residents and business owners lament that they are about to face a new hurricane season and still have not gotten a replacement for the Kendall Bridge which was destroyed in last year’s historic and tragic floods. The U.S. military bridge that was to have replaced it for the medium term turned out to have been the wrong size.

Dan's baby ducks....

2009-05-11T12:49:00.001-06:00

so now let's see who has what......

finally

2009-05-10T10:34:00.003-06:00

Thanks for all the encouragement.....the hens are at it again.....what was the secret we will never know......but jen and i went to crooked tree for a few days.....fabulous...great birds.....stayed at "birds eye view" hotel....highly recommend.....visited lamanai....and drove all the way up north and west to the other blue creek......

But came home to 6 eggs.....and they are making their egg laying sounds.....

we bought some more rice for them and a few treats....bran and sorghum....

and danced the night away at yoli's and barefoot beach......welcome home.....and happy mother's day to all.....

yeah....an egg

2009-05-07T06:17:00.002-06:00

So was it the cat food? laid in a different nest....a real little one ....from the one that looks like jenny's......

changed their bedding in the nest....and they are making those wonderful egg laying sounds again....maybe the tide has turned.......

Ducks......male....female......

2009-05-04T20:23:00.005-06:00

2009-05-04T06:21:00.003-06:00

Cordy and I actually went fishing off my dock last night.....i caught a bonefish...but he was so smart he jumped off right before we could pull him in....but we did see him or her....what are fish.... generic?

Then cordy got a big one...i use a pole she uses fishing line....so it was tough and ofcourse now it was getting dark....but she played with it till it was almost in and almost in the same spot as mine...and sure enough it got off too.....but it was fun.....too dark to even see what it was...but it was big!!

Breakfast at the winner so far

2009-05-01T13:13:00.002-06:00

Things aren't so bad...jen made me breakfast with her eggs!! We are trying to boil the corn and see if they will eat that along with the rice...not ready for dog or cat food yet....came home early today and one is on the nest so maybe i will be lucky today....jen already has one.....

good news.....they aren't swine!!

Now what?

2009-04-28T07:23:00.001-06:00

I am definitely losing the egg battle but to add insult to injury dan came by with his family and his ducks are bigger than mine!! He feeds them dogfood....i give mine rice......

so do i switch to cat food...since that's what i have....or who cares rice is better?

vote now.....deb

Well my hens have started laying again.....3 eggs yesterday but ofcourse i had to throw one of the chickens off the nest to get them....looked like she was still on it at night but running around this morning...so we will see....

as for the one at jenny's.....she decided to get a rooster to keep it company...so one was delivered monday....milton apologized on how noisy he was...and yes once he started in the morning he went all day!! No eggs yet for her but maybe today they both settled down...will keep you informed....

as for my ducks....all is well....one is definitely larger than the other and tail up....male my guess.....

Broody hen went to jenny

2009-04-11T07:14:00.002-06:00

I was feeling sorry for the brooding hen so took her to jenny's...ofcourse i finally had gotten 3 eggs again but let's give it a try.....so off she went good friday 10th of april...

came home to NO eggs.....this morning one of them has been in the nest and talking and walking around...maybe they miss her? They always chased her away when she came to eat with them....so we will see what happens....

Chickens have found way into duck pen so now eating their food also!! Guess i will be using alot of rice...they now don't like the corn..only rice...ofcourse jenny is giving her hen vegetables...sorry guys none in the refrig....

Two ducks have dark bills one more pink...she or he as time will tell seems to be the dumbest...the other two get out and she is walking around like how do I get out? It finally figures it out...

They all sleep together in the coop at night..ducks go on their own and sleep on the floor.....

happy passover and happy easter

baby ducks arrive here

2009-03-30T07:36:00.002-06:00

The baby ducks arrived yesterday late afternoon....put in their pen and immediately found a way out ...but just to the big pen....so here we go again...fixed it and meanwhile they cruised the yard and met the hens and cats.....when i returned from getting a beer sharyn and cb came back with me...and these are her pics...first time with my camera but we got them.....

They have been raised on dog food so sprinkled some that dan had sent in their pen with some chicken starter and rice.....and came in the house after they were returned to their pen.....thinking as always...and saw black cat hanging around and thought no...better put them in the with the chickens...so caught them one more time and placed them in with the hens...they were so quiet and everyone slept fine...including me....the got the little wooden box on floor.

Let them out this morning but the hens were eating their food so put them back in pen and sprinkled some rice....they ate some and are walking around...have not found way into water yet.....
