A Flint Story.
I can’t say it’s real funny. But it was Flint.
When we keep the boys, we meet Abi with them at the end of her work day. It helps her get home a little quicker (maybe or maybe not). It’s what we do. So yesterday, we just couldn’t get Flint rounded up to get in the truck. He thought of a 1000 things to keep from getting in the pickup. As I’ve told you before, he brings me a Dr Pepper in the morning time. And yesterday was no different. But it was gone by day’s end. However, I have DPs in the fridge all the time. As we were getting in the truck, Flint started whining he was thirsty and only a DP would quench his thirst. I, thinking they keep DPs at their house as well, said “Flint, just wait till you get home to get a Dr Pepper.” Flint said, “we don’t have any Dr Peppers at our house.” I said, “well, you have water, and if you’re that thirsty for a Dr Pepper surely someone can go to the store and get you one.” To which he replied, “my daddy can’t even drive.” I answered, “what? I know he can drive.” He said, “no he can’t. He hit a rabbit on our road.” I said, “really?” He said, “yes, and he just kept driving and the rabbit stopped breathing.” I just never know what is going to come out of that kid’s mouth. His daddy does a lot of driving for his job that he works. Oh my goodness…never seen a kid like Flint. “Sterling, be careful. Don’t hit anymore rabbits. And get Flint some Dr Peppers, please.” 😂😂

You are probably saying, “Flint needs milk.” Well, he drinks his share of milk, too.

Happy Thursday!

Not much going on here. So just a couple pictures of my Zinnias. They don’t change much in looks so it’s about like you saw the last time.

The 4th of July is coming up tomorrow. I, for one am dreading the fireworks that I’m sure will start tonight. I’m surprised they did not start last night, but I didn’t hear any. However, Big D hates them. And I feel bad for him and the many other dogs that get so anxious.
I believe the year was 2018, we had a Peacock and 3 peahens that disappeared on the night of July 4th. It doesn’t matter the year, it was definitely the morning of July 5th that we woke up and they were gone. They never returned. Yes, perhaps a predator got them. But there was not one feather found. They slept in the tree tops in our yard and always came to our backdoor for breakfast. Do not be like us. Put your animals in a safe place. We learned the hard way. But Big D will stay in the house as will Rosa. (But the fireworks do not bother Rosa.)
Enjoy your Thursday. I’ll talk to you later.

We had the great grandsons today. Flint went swimming. And Hollis sat on the deck for a little while. But he and I didn’t stay at the pool long. We’re delicate.

Happy Wednesday Evening.

I’m very tired so I won’t be selling any glass hens this evening. Thanks for all of your responses. It was wonderful to hear all the positivity. As I said, you all are the best people on the planet.

SOLD

I would like to offer some glass hens to you my followers. I am in the process of thinning my collection. I’m not selling to low ballers because I see what they are selling for right now. All I can do is tell you it’s a piece of glass, and as far as worth, it is worth what you are willing to pay for it. Having said that, here’s some details about this piece. It was made by Fenton. Its base is 5 inches from end to end. This has the Fenton stamp (shown) as well as a sticker which most of the stickers on anything are usually long gone. I don’t know what year this gal was made. But I shall say between 1965 and 1980. So no, it is not antique but it is very vintage. What I have been doing is giving a price shipped to anywhere in the lower 48 states. Most packages are costing me between $11 and $15 to ship USPS. So I decide on a price and I add $11 to it and I eat my supplies for shipping. This one will be put up for $51.00. That’s $40+$11 for shipping. Total $51. Period. I take PayPal. I can send you an invoice. Or you can pay me friends and family. PayPal is the only payment I am accepting at this time. Please leave a comment if you hate me posting this stuff here on this page. A thumbs down 👎🏼 will be sufficient. Let me know if you are interested in buying this. We will meet up on Messenger. I am Eva J. Hargrave on Facebook. Look me up and send me a message. Or message The Chicken Chiefs which doesn’t always seem easy to do. But some of you have messaged me here. If this post goes over like a lead balloon, this will be my last post like this. Thanks to all my followers who take the time to like, comment and chat with me. You are the best people on the planet.

Happy Tuesday Evening!

As you are well aware of, my theme I try to keep going is “Slow down and smell the flowers.” Well, I’m really a fine one to give that advice. Here’s why- I’m possibly the world’s best lollygagger. I stop every chance I get. Now I was in the house trying to be productive …but I heard Rosa’s “there’s a deer bark.” You bet I grabbed my camera and went right away to get a picture.
Lollygag: to spend time idly: loaf. Yep that’s me.
Happy Monday.

Funny Flint Story as told by his Granny (his paternal grandmother):
Flint’s new thing to do is to ride his bike to the mailbox with a bag and retrieve the mail. So, he headed out to get it this morning and came back so proud. “Granny, I got your mail, and guess what. I got you a book with Donald Trump on it!” He was so excited.
See comment for the picture of the ‘book’.

Goodnight

I walked out of the house for church and this Hibiscus greeted me. I slowed down and snapped a picture. Slow down and appreciate the little things in life.

I said earlier that I didn’t have anything to post. And I don’t. But I decided to take some pictures of some of my favorite Zinnia blooms. The colors are so vibrant on most of them.

I don’t usually follow crowds. But I don’t have anything to post today and I did this thing. Here were the instructions.

Open up ChatGPT which is an app. Put in a picture of one of your chickens and give it these these instructions
"Focus on chicken — high contrast black & white close-up of face with water drops. 35mm lens, 4K HD, black shadow background, sharp profile, 4:3 ratio."

I used a picture of Albany. The first picture here in the post. The second picture is the portrait it created. Kinda cool.
Anyway. Hopefully everyone is having a happy Saturday. Not much going on here. I’ll talk to you later.

~Eva~

P. S. Tho I like the results, it doesn’t really look like my Albany.

I don’t have a good Flint picture. But I have this one as well as a good Flint story.
For some reason, Flint kept talking about Maple trees. No, I don’t remember the beginning of the story but I remember this part. I finally said, “Flint, you don’t even know what a maple tree is.” He said, “yes, I do. They have orange and red leaves” (me: silently saying “ok, in the Fall 🙄”). Flint continued “and they are good shade trees.” Ok. He knew more than I figured. I should never argue with this kid.
That’s all.
I’ll talk to you later.

We had a watermelon party today. That super-sized seedless watermelon was $7.00. It was pretty good. Hollis was napping so he didn’t get in on it. But the melon weighed in at about 32 lbs. It was big. Even the chickens enjoyed some.
More fun coming tomorrow.
