After walking the dogs ( Constance had to be manhandled out of her bed)
I broke all of the ice formed on the animal water feeders, set out the corn and layers pellets and let all the birds out to free range.
By the time I had caught Lilian ( a white buff with a rattle cough), given her some antibiotic, then treated Boris with some antibacterial spray ( he has a sore claw digit) and finally dabbed Vaseline on Constance's cracked nose (a job that has to be done outside as she has a tendency to be sick with stress after the treatment) I felt chilled to the bone, so right now I am warming up with coffee and some buttered scones!
The scones were a welcomed gift from Auntie Glad, and were left overs from the flower show meeting held at her house last night. (Half way through the proceedings she treats us to hot sweet tea and lashings of buttered, freshly baked scones)
The Flower Show meeting was brief . The committee had already thrashed out the new schedule for 2011 at a previous meeting, so we just needed to cross the T'S and dot the i's.
Next year's show will have more Trophy prize cups for the winners
The new Schedule can be seen at

That is a terrific picture of you and Boris!
ReplyDeleteHello John!! I am so sorry that life has gotten in the way of my visiting your blog (and others to for that matter). I've spent some time catching up on what you've been up to and feel like I've caught up with a friend!
ReplyDeleteThe weather here in Virginia is very mild and we just barely need a jacket, but that's going to change soon enough! Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes, and I hope you have an enjoyable day too.
By the way, I checked the flower show blog. The fuschia is just amazing!!! How I love flower-shows and so wish I could attend this one!!
John, that pic of you and Boris could be a Thanksgiving card! One of those lucky turkeys Boris is!
ReplyDeleteThose scones sounded delicious! I want some.....will have to dig out my Mom's recipe.

Love the picture of you and Boris. Another turkeyless Thanksgiving here. There is a pork roast with sauerkraut and apples cooking in the crockpot. Mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteThe look is priceless, and might I add there is a remarkable resemblence, methinks it may be the scarf :)
ReplyDeleteYou make a very handsome pair ..
Happy Thursday to you, and that is a great picture! Enjoy your day, I will be thankful for mine!

ReplyDeleteI have clarified the rules on the quiche this year!!!
That is such a good picture of you and Boris!!
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, you might try 100% vitamin E oil on Constance's nose. It works wonders for that crusty dry cracking thing they get. You may find too with regular use you don't need to do it every single day. After you have used have used it a bit :O)... Maybe it will sit better with her tummy.
Okay John...help me out here. I love animals, but turkeys? I know I just need guidance.
ReplyDeleteJust being a skite, but I sat out under the pergola at the Canowindra ( pronounced Kan-noun-dra) Pub yesterdaay and drank an ice cold bottle of Squires Amber Ale. it was 30C in the shade! ! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLook at you and the lovely Boris!
ReplyDeleteThank you John! It was a great one...
