I don't know which one is scarier.... the faceless ghost or the raccoon.

That guy sure fits the discripton. I'll need to get CSI to confirm.

Did he get the "Demented Rooster from Hell" ?

Watch out. That coon' and his friends have been stealing cat-food from the dish for ages. They come and stare at us eating dinner first, then have a bite. The barrage of rotten fruit, empty plastic bottles and
some decent knick-knacks haven't slowed them down.
Cat says...Put the food out.
Take in the food so the coons won't get it.
Cat says....Put the damn food out.
Take in the food so the coons won't get it.

Yes Gary, Big Bad Red is dead...
Chickens at night are easy pickens. However, he put up a struggle it appears, he fought a mighty battle,he's gone where the bad roosters go, taking all his wifes with him.

I hope everyone survived Halloween (except for Helen's poor chickens).

That raccoon was so intimidating I thought it was time to put him away in honor of All Saints Day -- at least until next year.

I went out to close the door to the coop yesterday evening to keep daisy out of it,guess what, a hen was alive and alone. Missing some feathers, but an escapee.

All hail Chicken Comanche.
The horse Comanche was the only US Army
survivor of the Battle of The Little Bighorn, Custer's Last stand.

The Lucky Chicken.
Yeah!!!
Long live the Chicken.

At least you still have a down payment!

Oh the Hen came back, the very next day, thought she was a gonner, but the hen came back cause she couldn't stay awwwaaaayyyy......

I could use her for a down payment over and over.

Gary and Susan Mullen said...

Well guess that answers the age old question...
Which came first, the chicken or the egg ?

My parents never missed a Lawrence Welk show. I could not stand him. Fast forward to years later when I was running McCune Sound. One of my regular clients turns out to be The Lennon Sisters?
Go figure!

Diane Smith said...

Uh one and uh two and uh chicken dance....

Gary and Susan Mullen said...

Turn off the bubble machine I can't see the keys on my accordion.

Rand Launer said...

Raccoons,
Chickens,
and Lawrence Welk.
I'm gonna leave now.

We have just witnessed the complete unraveling and devolution of The Paradox Blog!

Diane Smith said...

It used to be called HOOT night -- you never know what or who would show up....

This is good, we don't get to see video's so I can share my extreme views with ya'll...it's called E- Hoot.
Yes Diane, you can show us all we are missing.
Bob is on his way to the OC to attened a Folk music convention, topic being Folk Clubs in O.C. in the 60's this weekend.

Diane Smith said...

I'm so glad he's going to that! Steve will also be there. There will be sessions on all aspects of running a club -- something that might come in handy again some day.

Be sure he reports back.
