A fungus Among Us

I'm growing them. Oyster Mushrooms. A spray of water here and there and BAM...... growth. Shit, I even forgot about to spritz them for two days and wouldn't you know it, they grew bigger. I haven't grown anything this easy in a long time.  


In a few days, these bad boys will be ready for the grill.

Chicken attack

Been gone awhile........yeah i know, again. 


Tired, unmotivated, lazy, busy, saving money. Gasp.  The list of excuses is endless. But the last excuse above, conserving the green, is by far the most important. We have a pretty big event going down in October, so the flow has stopped and is damned up in the bank. Anyway, there are still a few emotional logistics to sort out with a few people, so more on the big event  a little later. 


So, the equation for 2012 looks like this:


(October)($$$$)+No cash flow= minimal projects. 


Boo.


The girls are good and everyone is finally getting along great. We are all unfortunately still missing Penny. Bridget just started laying and we are still waiting for Big Monica to give us her first. Bridget is laying super cute, tiny cadbury like eggs. Seriously, so tiny. You literally have to eat 3 to equal one normal egg. Sigh.



Yesterday, for free, I went ahead and readied the garden boxes for spring planting. The weather has been warm lately so I thought I would get a head start. This year is going to be the year of produce. I can feel it.

Here's a video of me and the girls getting the boxes ready. Seriously, as soon as I grab the shovel and start digging, they are all over me. I can't fight them off they are so excited. The many "ouches" you here are me trying to protect my digits. In all their excitement, the girls aren't able to tell the difference between my short little stubby toes and grubs. Yowser.
