Oh no! Gardening problems can really be frustrating. I'm so sorry about your chicken! how sad. I hope your neighbors are going to somehow make it up to you. And I hope your grandson is okay! That's frightening. You have had a lot of issues and problems all happen at once. I'm sure it will all get better.
Hugs to you!! And p.s. nice shout out to @felt.buzz. I agree, he does a nice job with his videos.
My neighbor has a lot of problems of his own. His artery split and the only reason he is not bleeding into his body is that a huge blood clot has formed. He is supposed to rest for 3 months and they hope that scar tissue will form and repair his blood vessel. Then, he is going to have surgery to get a stent.
He was working on building a serious fence between our yards since his dogs kept mowing down what we had. Now, we have no fence in one area.
But my chicken is nothing compared to his problems and he is a good neighbor. And it is how life goes. Just frustrating on top of everything else - you know - everything :)
But all good. I will get over it..
Right now, I usually do an evening Actifit walk in my yard. But a huge navy ship exploded and the air is terrible. Burnt rubber and chemicals smell. Yuck.
What? On top of everything else a navy ship exploded?? That is so nuts!
Well I hope the air is clearing (and they are containing the environmental damage) and that your neighbor is on the mend, and the rest of your chickens are safe, and you've found a way to deal with the ants... and, and, and!
I know - it sounds like a bad novel lol
Yesterday, we were still asked to keep windows closed - and didn't need to be asked because it smelled so bad.
So far, so good...
