And then there were . . . none.

A massacre happened in the barn last night.  Our three remaining chickens are. . . no more.  They decided to visit our mama Bassett Hound, Abbie. . .well that was their last mistake.  Abbie killed them, unlike Elvis, our daddy Bassett, who ate them whole!  So their twisted chicken carcasses are lying all around Abbie's pen.  They were able to fly up and over the 6 foot chain link fence into the dog pens.  They had the entire barn!  So why did they want to go into the dog pens!  Well, we are now officially out of the chicken business.  And to tell you the truth, I'm sort of glad.  I was tired of walking down there finding one or two missing or dead.

I am in the mood for sewing today and as my new Bible Study (The Frazzeled Female) begins tomorrow, I may make myself a new tote bag to carry my Bible and study book in.  I have some cute fabric that I haven't used yet and so I think I will do that today. 

It is really breezy, well windy actually, here today.  I plan on taking Pepper out for another walk today and the breeze will feel great.  I might even sit out by the pool and catch a few rays!  I started wearing my capri's last week and the little bit of skinny white legs sticking out at the bottom isn't very attractive!  Hey, that's the ONLY part of my legs that's skinny, I can tell you that right now!  It's gonna take more than a little walk every day to get the rest of my legs into shorts! or, *swallow hard* a bathing suit!  YIKES!

Well y'all, I am getting up out of this chair and on to more productive things!  You all have a wonderful day!

I don't think I could stand to find the chickens ummm well...you know...like that.  Sounds like a good day to soak up the rays.  The sun has left us after a few glorious days.  I hear ya on the whiteness of legs.  I'm trying to get my lily whites some color!  Enjoy!
