Okay, well not until spring.....but YEAH!
Mr. Frugal said "sure". So now we get to figure out the "where" and "how big" the coop needs to be.
We plan on having some for meat and some for laying. I am reading all I can so that I am not totally "green" when spring comes.
I have found such wonderful resources online...along with the wonderful people at Prairie Homemaker.
Just wanted to share my news!

Link for the quiz
My keyboard is acting up...here is the link to the quiz: http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/yankeetest.html
How Southern Am I?
Okay, now I spent most of my life in Virginia. I spent a few years here and there in the midwest and northern states. I was born in Texas....so here are the results of the quiz: 71% (Dixie). Your neck must be at least pink!
What happened to being honest?
Okay,
It started Sunday when this guy delivered what was supposed to be a cord of wood to us. Everything seemed fine, my DH was working our H's car, but stopped while the guy dumped the wood in our driveway. I wrote the man a check and he was on his way.
Fast forward about 4 hours.....DH had finished the car, eaten lunch and went out to stack the wood. Guess what, it was not a full cord. It was a third of a cord short! DH called the guy and left a message for him to call. He called back ranting and raving. Saying that we did not order a cord (um, yes, I did. I asked twice to make sure that is what I was ordering)...then he said that we didn't know what a cord was....um, yes we do. He said he was coming to get his wood and give us our check back. Not using the best of language.
Monday morning, DH called him to ask when he was coming, he said "whenever I feel like it". To which DH told him "No, you need to give me a date and time." The wood guy did not like this, saying that he would come whenever HE wanted and that there was NOTHING we could do about it. Well.... DH had already contacted WEights and Measures about this guy and had them call him (wood guy). The wood guy then called DH back saying he would come get his wood at 6:30 tuesday. Between all this, my wonderful DH talked with the local Sheriff's office. Just to let them know what was going on, because he had a feeling we would be needing them.
Fast forward to this morning.... LOUD banging on our front door at about 6:20 a.m. DH goes out to move his work car, I go to the basement door with the phone and a camera. (I wanted to make sure I covered any basis that were needed LOL) Wood guy was cussing and throwing the wood into his truck....told DH "This is over, don't think that it is". DH asked for our check and the guy said no, not until the wood was in his truck. DH said no, you give me the check or you can leave...the guy keep throwing wood in the truck. DH signaled to me to call the sheriff, which I did. About ten minutes the Sheriff is there and WOW what a change in the wood guy. He went from insulting us and calling us "scum" to being quiet. It also helped that this was the same Sheriff that DH talked with yesterday....so he already knew what was going on and said so. The sheriff made the wood guy give him the check and he held it until the wood was loading. DH told the sheriff how the wood guy had threatened that this wasn't over. Sheriff had a talk with the wood guy and then wrote out a notice of trespassing to the guy..... he wadded it up in front of the sheriff. Then tried to say that we stole some of the wood and that he should get to look in our house and see if it is there. LOLOLOL Sheriff said, "no, there is no way to tell where any wood would have come from, and that he would have to go through civil court if he had an issue.
Anyway, the guy left, we talked some more with the Sheriff, really nice guy by they way, he told me to call 911 if the guy even tried to pull into our yard and they would be out here fast. I said "thank you", DH said "thank you and sorry you had to come out for this" and then Mr. Sheriff went on his way.
Talk about a fun morning. I just hope the guy doesn't try anything. I don't think so, he seemed all talk. We will have to see

This is a cute quiz...
You scored as Hermione Granger. You're one intelligent witch, but you have a hard time believing it and require constant reassurance. You are a very supportive friend who would do anything and everything to help her friends out.

That was the problem.
Okay, I took the link out of my posts from a couple of weeks past and now my profile is where it should be. :-)
Nothing new today..so just thought I would check in.

That is weird
When I bring up my blog, it has my profile down on the bottom of the right hand side.
It used to be up top. Hmmmm, I wonder if it is something with Blogger.com. Time will tell.
Have a great Sunday people.

What did I just do?????
Okay, I think I just might have finally lost it.
I just created my own message board! It is just now started, so there is only one forum with only one post (mine)......but it is there and I am the owner. <>
I say this because I am not sure if this is something I should have done or not. I mean, I have no problems telling people whether they can post or not. And I have no problem being a bad guy...I am a Mom, so that is not new. I am just not sure if this is something I have the time for. Of course, I can always delete it or lock it to new posts if need be....I guess I am just surprised I actually did it. I had been thinking about it for awhile...so... oh well. Time will tell.
It has been hectic here lately, but what is new. I seem to be either taking some one here or picking up some one there. Tis life!
I am thinking of getting some chickens next year. I am reading what I can about it. Of course, this will also depend on whether Mr. Frugal will go for it or not also. I can probably talk him into it, if I really want to do it.
I will just need to read as much as I can and see if the benefits will out-weigh the costs involved. Do I just want to raise some broilers or do I want some layers....or what...
Hey, at least I am past my goat idea..... (well, not really, but we just don't have the land for that right now. :-) LOL)
That's it for now.
