Thanksgiving with Papa

Papa has been a widow for 8 years....we try very hard to be with him during the holidays. I am very thankful for him, he is my free baby sitter...I can always count on him. He was telling to my daughter that you don't eat the turkey leg with a fork...!

It was a great day..... and tonight we are having Turkey Enchiladas! With Green Sauce!

Thanksgiving Eve

I had been thinking on very close people, who I am so thankful. Like my husband secretary, what would I do with out her... today she was on ER...and she seem would not need surgery. I am planning to bring her a whole meal for her family.

So last night my daughters help me out with the mixture for PW Diner rolls, but I think I killed the yeast. So this morning I try again....and they where rising...! My kids got away with several of them....they are so good!

And PW Pecan Pie.... I did put the pecans on top.... my sweet husband like whole things..haha like me! I made two pies, the other one went to my good friend , who oldest son (18yrs) went under our house this evening and try to reglue our piping under the house.

I was super Thankful...! I just begin to work or PW's MM chocolate Pie... tomorrow is tomorrow and is comming too fast!!

We went away for a while

We tag along with Chiro Man, and went to one of his seminars in CA. In our way back made several stops. Grand Canyon, National Petrified Forest and Painted Desert wich was connected to Petrified Forest....we have so much fun and I have four official Junior Rangers. That was 12 days of NO COOKING! Ha!

I found Fall when got back home!

Made PW Flat Apple Pie..... I use Gala apple since I didn't have Smith's . It was delicious, one went to a friend that just have a baby and the other one for us, I also add cinammon to ours!

Bottom Pecking

So I had this problem, I read on April's that I should give them some things to play/scratch on. April e-mail me after asking privately and I need to try several things, so I went I got several hay's and I am going to bring some sand in there for them to scratch.

My friend Patty, who have about 100 or more hens is comming tomorrow to see if this guys ( with the problem) are hens or just roosters, hopefully she will be able to tell me, because we are confuse after killing one rooster and end up been a hens with zillions of eggs inside. I think I will separate them and see how they do for a while.
The big rooster had been lossing his feathers too back there, haha!

April mention I should provide lots of scratching material (hay, w/ seeds. scraps, seeds, wood ashes to bath etc..) So hopefully the hay and sand will work for now. I am going to talk with my friends with fireplaces to save me their ashes.

This is DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!

Honest, had to be a solution to this chickens problems. The darcker chickens keep poking on them and you know is not getting any warmer....! HELP?? Should I separate them?
