They Cage the Animals at Night by Jennings Burch

I saw this movie for the first time at a sleepover with a group of girls I was trying to befriend at a new school, where I had just moved for reasons related to my brother dying the year before. I had chosen the 'never talk about it' coping mechanism and so of course whoever picked the movie had no idea the drama they were about to unleash ... But hoooo boy those girls had a ROUGH evening with the weird new kid lmao! The one girl's Mom was absolutely amazing though, she baked brownies from scratch and made us all brownie sundaes because we needed so much soothing.

Built a little greenhouse in the spring, and planted peas, jalapeno, zucchini, cucumber, lettuce and... One pumpkin seed on a whim.

So, the pumpkin grew like Audrey 2 and choked out everything but the jalapenos. 😒 On the bright side, everyone in my office is getting a free pumpkin to carve this year! Whether they want it or not.

LMAO at all these dude saying it's about shit talking. Nah, home girl got her eyebrows waxed and the waxer wants to know if she needs her lip done too... it hurts. Do not recommend.

I had a white peahen show up in my yard and hang out with my chickens once. She stayed all afternoon, ate scratch with the flock, then just wandered off into the woods.

We're in the northeast US, so she definitely wasn't wild, and it took forever to identify her because WTF was a white peahen doing here 🤔

⭐ gold star, nailed it on your first try

Possibly she texted him so that the kid wouldn't overhear them talking about his gift. My daughter's Dad and I used to do that all the time, especially for private talks that we thought might hurt her feelings.

Hey 😘

We've had a couple good rains, transforming what used to be a muddy creekbed into a clearly defined pond!

I will report back in a few weeks with more pictures! Also will probably be spamming them all over Lemmy because I just cannot shut up about how cool they are 😅

A beaver (or beavers?) moved into the creek deep in the woods behind my house last fall, and I am SO excited about the beautiful pond they are building.

Right now we have three orpingtons, two brahma, one cochin, three golden comets, two marans, two plymouth rock, one silkie bantam, two sussex, and one wyandotte.

I had more bantams but they are really really good jumpers because they're so small and light, they can nearly fly, and they would insist on roosting in a tree... Their steadfast refusal to come in at night ended in their demise.

It is so hard when you lose one of the flock, and foxes, weasels, raccoons, whatever predators are in your area can smell them for miles and will snatch one eventually. But, for all the sobbing beside a pile of feathers I have done, I still wholeheartedly recommend that you go for it!

You should go for it, raising chickens is surprisingly easy and they are a hoot to watch frolicking around your yard.

However, fuck Tractor Supply for rolling back their DEI initiatives Search for local hatcheries to buy your chicks. Last spring, I bought ten pre-sexed female chicks (which, admittedly comes with the ethical concerns of what they do with the males) of random "designer" breeds for only $95 including shipping.
