"The Mona Lisa" up close. Isn't it great??
Weasel tracks from the weasel(s?) that killed ALL of our chickens......:(
Evening grosbeaks at the feeder! Look at the males!
We've had a tragedy at our house. We suspect a weasel, but will keep you updated.
Our chickens, now up to a total of eight, were all violently killed last night. The kids took out food and water and checked on them before they went to bed, closed and latched up the house, and came inside. This am, from the bathroom window we could see some chickens strewn around the chicken run. (They don't usually come out first thing in the AM, so it was weird to see any out at all, let alone just lying there....) When I went out to investigate it was clearly 'fowl play'. There were mixed tracks, but many were weasel sized and feathers and blood around. The chickens had all been bitten in the head, and left dead. (all but one, which was absent.) For reference purposes, (People looking around the internet to see what may have happened to their own chickens,)I will be posting photos of this massacre under separate cover. Sorry for the gruesome news, I just won't feel like describing it over and over on the phone. The kids don't even know yet, They'll be devastated when they get home from school. What a bummer.
click here for a great shopping portal that rebates money!
This is a link for BigCrumbs.com. It's a spyware free site that rebates you money for any online shopping. It really works, just from Christmas alone at various common retailers I have $80 in rebates waiting. Some retailers are as much as 20% off! Floral orders, etc. can be even more! If you sign up from my link I even get a little cut. ($0.20 here $0.15 there, but it adds up) I've been using it for around one year, so I know it's safe. The only trick is to remember to start your shopping there. You click through to your store of choice by going to BigCrumbs first, the rest is automatically done for you. It has neat links if you're an ebay junkie, just click the ebay big crumbs link, and you get part of your ebay seller's listing fee rebated to you. Try it out!

Hannah gets the iPod she wanted. (It is pretty nifty)
Hannah is learning how to juggle, so Santa slipped a clown's nose in her stocking. She's also sporting abalone guitar pick (clip-on) earrings and a Taylor Swift CD!
Claire is a night owl, just WAITING for Santa. She didn't get to sleep until after Midnight.
Conor loves a Turkey leg. We had a local farm turkey for Christmas dinner.Christmas 2007
Claire opens a big bag!
Conor seems happy with his weapons of war. (soft ones)
Too cute, Robby.
Kathleen's pretty cute, too.
