Must be Autumn!

New flag and flag pole for the chickens! Thanks to Jean Rollwitz!

 

The new flag and pumpkins.  Must be fall.

Speaking of fall, notice that we have our very own Jack-o-Lantern!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are slowly eating the pumpkins.

The girls ate the seeds first and now are pecking away at the meat.

Knock Knock...

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Chickens.
Chickens who?
Chickens who want your attention!

Yesterday, the chickens were pecking at the door.  We would go out and see them -- just as happy as can be to see us.

They pecked at the door four different times.  Yes, we answered the door each time.  Just like Pavlov's dogs.

Water Heater Tin

   

In Montana it gets cold occasionally.  To keep the water from icing up, I found a tin for twenty-five cents and a lamp for fifty cents at garage sales this summer.

In the tin, I drilled a 3/8" hole.  I took the lamp assembly apart.  Then I reassembled the lamp assembly inside the tin.  The screw-on fastener on the bottom of the lamp assembly is on the outside of the tin, which keeps the 40-watt bulb stationary in the center of the tin.

I have both plastic and metal waterers.  I have read that the tin works for both plastic and metal, so I don't know which I will do.  Or, I may make a second water heater tin.  Did I mention that I garage sale...  I have enough parts to make one more heater.
