Allergies. Can't say I love em...I've been in the throes of them for over a week now--some days worse, some days better. This morning is one of those where I simply want to just curl up out of the way with my sore, sneezy nose and do something useless.

Anyway...I suppose my allergies are worse this morning because I spent the majority of the day outdoors, or exposed to out door air, yesterday.

In the morning, Daddy and I butchered and dressed out eight more roosters. We caught the five hens in the one tractor and dumped them in the with ten in the other. As of this morning, they seem to be getting along decently (these are the most good-natured birds!), with just a little pecking and "SQuAWk!"-ing. The seven remaining roosters greedily gobbled up their morning mash when it arrived. I do not think my birds probably got fed last night (I know they didn't get moved). I forgot to ask when I got home...

To clarify the above illusion, sometime after lunch, Daddy and I went down to Miss Ruth's place to take some horse manure off her hands. Onto our 18 foot trailer we loaded (using Miss Ruth's front loader [Daddy wants one :D]) the manure that was collected into three of her four horse manure bins. These bins are essentially a 3'x8' rectangle made out of shipping pallets with an open front. The "stuff" gets piled up to about 3-4 feet high.  Suffice to say, the trailer is really loaded.

I helped by taking the big scoop shovel and working it along the back of the pile (once Daddy had taken a couple loads out), breaking the roots that were working through the back of the pallets, petting the big dog Amos when he bounded over (he is a big, slobbery puppy!) When we got down to where the scoop would only fill about half way, I took the shovel and filled it by manual labor.  Daddy hopped off the tractor a couple of times and helped out with that while I stood around watching and/or blowing my nose. :D

Oh well, I had better get along and see if I can do something useful...

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
