The day started out kind of strange. I woke up around 8am and the Beast, of course, beat me up by an hour or so. But, to my surprise, he asked what I wanted to do for our anniversary! *Shock!* I just said *lets go out to eat for a change*. He told me to think of where I wanted to go and let him know.
Then, I find out my bff sent us a very generous gift certificate to Red Lobster (she knows I like to eat there because I just LOVE shrimp, lobster and crab). So I told the Beast I wanted to go there and I swear, he lost color in his face. Last time we ate there, our check for dinner and my drinks was over $100. Not that *I* care with all the money he spends whenever he feels like it. However, the gift certificate will more than cover anything we have. So it's dinner out tomorrow! Hurrah!
Our poor broody hen was at it again. She seems to have waited for several of the other hens to lay their eggs today and she was sitting in the nesting box and refusing to come out. I had to physically remove her (again) but I put her down on the floor of the coop next to me. She was sitting on 7 eggs this time and they were all warm as heck. But I stopped and petted her for a bit because I feel bad for her. The fact that she let me without flying off away from me tells you just how broody she is. The Beast actually came and asked me to go check to see if it was the same hen because of the way she was acting (and she pecked at him when he started to reach in). LOL! But it brought the egg count to 10 for today.
We now have 7 dozen eggs in the fridge and that's AFTER the Beast gave our neighbor two dozen eggs. Dennis took 2 dozen yesterday. This is the amount of eggs that we are getting in less than two weeks! Shocking, isn't it? I guess it's an omelet for us in the morning....LOL. I also told the Beast he needed to start baking again. He hasn't done any in a couple months now. I guess his NEW hobby (the chickens) made him give up his old one (baking).
We just had a power outage here but it didn't last long in our area. When I called the power company, the recording said that it affected our area, Boaz and the surrounding communities. Just how extensive it was is anyone's guess but at least we have our power back. The Beast had just started into the bedroom to go to bed when he kicked the power cord for the vacuum out of the way and the lights went out. It shocked him at first just for how it appeared to be related. He came into my computer room and said, *Sorry....I didn't mean to do it!* When he told me what he had done just as it happened, I couldn't help but laugh.
Well, that's all folks! Time to get this posted. Love you all. I hope you had a great weekend and a nice, calm week ahead. ***Hugs***
