Being a retired Vet Tech.. I love animals. smile.. back in the 1970's.. I first tried to get my Vet Tech training.. but didnt make it into Morrisville (which at the time was one of the few places that had it).. so I went to Cobleskill, which I was taking Animal Husbandry - Horses (yes.. my dream at the time was to work with horses).. unfortunately, while there.. I lost what was left of my hearing.. so didnt finish.. still to this day I love horses.. This picture was of a mustang. always wanted to adopt one.

This picture made me laugh.. since my ex-hubby's name was Chuck.. grin.

Have to say Holstein calves are cute..

Here is a picture of me with a Guernsey calf.

Fall Hanging Towels

I went out to Dollar General and they had a ton of cute Fall and Halloween towels.. so bought a ton of them.. been working on Fall towels for a while now.. and here are some of them.. Very few of these are on Etsy yet.. just up in Facebook on my page.. You can click her to go to the photo album.

Tomorrow I will be listing these on Etsy.. and then sending the ads to the Yahoo groups.. so if you want any.. order now.  Back to the Fair pictures tomorrow..

More Fair Pictures..

When we first got to the Erie County Fair.. we walked into a display of model trains.. only got one good picture.  My camera isnt good for moving things.. lol..

Then we walked out and saw the Siberian Tigers.. I love wild cats!  and one of them was a youngster.. he was trying to wrestle with the older one.. and kept getting smacked.. LOL!. reminded me of my cats..

So decided to use Tigers as a Etsy Treasury.. do check it out!!  Got to love those Kitties!!

Being Self Sufficient! Part 5

#5 Learn To Fail 

This is probably one of the harder steps.. smile.. Nobody likes making mistakes, but the only way to learn is to make mistakes.. and keep doing it until you got it right.. I probably should have put the gardening one under here.. lol.. 

Not everything can come easy.. sometimes you just need to keep plowing thru things until you reach the other side.. and just consider it a learning experience.. and dont kick yourself for making a mistake.. sometimes we can be our own worse enemies.. 

I learned that years ago.. if things dont work out one way, try a different way, but if they dont work out trying a couple of different ways, the best thing to do is to just drop it.. and move on to something else.

Anyways.. that is all I wanted to say on this.. 

Chickens at the Fair..

One of my favorite spots is the Chicken, Duck, and Rabbit barn.. Of course this year my main focus was getting pictures of chickens for my blog series.. lol.. Here are some of the breeds I saw..

Rhode Island Reds are a utility bird, raised for meat and eggs, and also as show birds. They are a popular choice for backyard flocks because of their egg laying abilities and hardiness.  They generally lay 5 - 7 brown eggs per week.

The Belgian Bearded D'Uccle is renowned for being a calm bird. Bearded D'Uccle eggs are notably small and are coated with creamy or tinted coloring. The breed is known for being very broody, and a typical hen can lay her eggs over a two-week period, though others have taken as long as three weeks.

Plymouth Rock is a dual-purpose, cold-hardy bird and therefore makes a great breed for the small farm or backyard flock owner.  There are many different strains of this breed.  They lay a large egg that varies in color from light to medium brown with a touch of pink. The birds continue laying throughout the winter but with decreased production. The amount of eggs laid is dependent upon the strains of the birds.

These are Silkies.  They are mostly used as pets and to hatch other birds' eggs as they are quite broody.  They generally lay about 100 white to beige colored eggs per year.

Polish Chicken - These are considered ornamental birds.. not very winter hardy.. Generally lay about 2 small, white eggs per week..
