I need a bumper sticker that says “I brake for yard sales.” I have definitely mastered the art of the u-turn. I am really enjoying finding diamonds in the rough and making them shine. My newest acquisition is a wood dining set that I bought for $25. However, I didn’t realize how time consuming refinishing a dining table set would be. So far, I have the table and one chair done. I am having to give my arm a break before I turn into Popeye. When I finally finish, I will post a picture. I, apparently, was having a blonde moment when I started because I forgot to take a “before” picture. Hopefully I will remember for the next project.
The latest from the chicken coop: My son and I figured out that Tubby will not crow while we are around because he doesn’t feel like his hens are being threatened. He is used to us feeding and handling him. Well, I finally was able to get him on camera by tricking him. My husband was able to capture Tubby crowing on his cell phone. We played it back again and again until he decided to crow for me. On the video clip you can hear a faint crow. That was enough for Tubby to take notice and crow for me. I think the cutest part of the video is at the end when he waddles back into the coop. What do you think?
It seems like the only storms we get now are dust storms. Here are some pictures I captured the other day.
This mama and her babies have been hanging around the house for some time now. Might be time to start naming them. lol.
More sunset photos.
Tubby was listening so intently to those crow sounds and I love the way he stood up tall, gave a good crow and flapped his wings like he was saying, “Go away, I’m in charge here!” Then so cute the way he waddled back into the coop! I love yard sales too. LOL on the blonde moment. I have those and I’m not even blonde…LOL! Great shot of the mama and her babies, and spectacular sunset pics!
Thanks, Madilyn! Tubby is definitely large and in charge.
Kristina, Tubby’s crowing actually made both of my dogs start barking just now! So funny. I’d like to nominate Tubby for President! Those Wyoming sunsets are just breathtaking…wow! I’ve refinished and reupholstered lots of furniture in the past, and it is no fun, but the finished products are always so gratifying. Good luck with the rest of those chairs! Kris
Thanks Kris! I would second that nomination for Tubby for President! lol. I haven’t tried upholstering yet. It’s something that I would like to try, though.
