tripperfunsterWe had some lovely WHORE frost (Hoar Hore?) frost a couple of days ago. I actually grabbed my camera, and took some pics.
This is the side yard, complete with spastic, galloping dogs.
The front yard.
Poppins, the mini-horse and assorted chickens. Yes, all of those fluffy blobs are all chickens.
A wee peek of Snippets the horsie and Hogrid mah piggie. Plus...you guessed it, more chickens. Maybe a goat ass, if you squint.

Date: 2007-12-23 02:50 pm (UTC)Why do my chickens scare you? Granted, they DO shit a lot. That is a bit frightening. Were you attacked by poultry as a child?
I will admit to having a good chunk of respect for geese. They are nasty pricks! Harry wanted to buy one this summer, but I had to refuse. Poor Quincey is already intimidated by the roosters, and I'm sure he'd never go outside if there was a goose-nazi patrolling the yard.
You would eat my pig? Shame on you! He loves chin scratches and belly rubs. Seriously, you would fall in
hungerlove with him if you met him in person.no subject
Date: 2007-12-23 02:56 pm (UTC)Hogrid has been in the house, but not Snippets. *laughs at the though* I was just saying last night, that I wish Hogrid could live inside, but he's just so HEAVY that I think he'd wreck our hardwood floors. He's the SIZE of a basset hound, but the WEIGHT of an anvil! Seriously, I don't think I could pick him up if my life depended on it.

Date: 2007-12-23 03:00 pm (UTC)Hogrid isn't aggressive at all. But he IS fixed. That might have something to do with it. The only time he's bitten was when Harry was giving him a treat, and the dogs were trying to get it too, and he kind of GRABBED it with his mouth, getting Harry's hand too.
He's really a lovely, gentle soul.

Date: 2007-12-23 05:28 pm (UTC)I've wanted one since I saw Charlotte's web *cough*eightymillionyearsago *cough*
I'd love to have him in the house, but since we already have three dogs, two cats, assorted fish and birds, two toroises and a snake, plus two kids, he has been allocated to the barn. *frown*

Date: 2007-12-23 05:39 pm (UTC)bastestickles Hogrid* You're right! He's soooo yummy.Your chickens look more like doilies than poultry and that's what scares me. I'm afraid I would try to set a lamp or something on one and it would peck me to death. Roosters and geese are nasty buggers. My mother likes to tell stories of how when she was a kid they used to pee in buckets because they were afraid to go to the outhouse because of the animals. I think she was just lazy, but no one really cares what I think anyway.
Btw, my neighbors asked me if "that client who sent you the pictures" is better. 0_o Hee! So, how are you?

Date: 2007-12-23 06:02 pm (UTC)did you tell them that you've been working very closely with me, to help me with my little 'problem'?
My mother in law likes to talk endlessly about her bodily functions, both past and present. *eyeroll* She, apparantly used to piss in the barn when she was young, because it was warmer there than in the outhouse.
she also had to take a stool softener, just las week! Yeah...I needed to know that too! *sporkes self*

Date: 2007-12-23 07:56 pm (UTC)Too bad I didn't think of that myself because that would have been terribly amusing. I find it interesting what people can convince themselves of when they are confronted with something that doesn't fit into their worldview. No, I clarified that you were a friend, not a client, and then invited them over for coffee to see the rest of my extensive art collection. Strangely enough, they didn't immediately jump on the time I selected and have to get back with me on a "mutually convenient time." I plan to continue to pester them until they have to schedule a time with me. My slash hobby wasn't a secret when I worked for children's protective services. I certainly don't plan to hide it now just so I don't offend some sensitive sensibilities.
I'd get on great with your mother-in-law. I could tell her about the great laxative tea I found.
