Two desperadoes rode into town on 350 horses with several compadres. \u00a0These were bad dudes. \u00a0Or dudettes as it were.\u00a0\"DSCN8093\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Look at her fierce look.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8094\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now look at this sweet and sort of dorky face. \u00a0Not a bad thought in her head. \u00a0Or was there?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8093\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Angry dudette.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCN8094\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sweet, wouldn’t hurt a feather on your head face.<\/p>\n

Then these two met and feathers flew. \u00a0It was a fight to the death. \u00a0Jail was the only answer.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8092\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A well built, can’t be broken out of jail. \u00a0Oh? \u00a0 The two desperadoes had other ideas.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8088\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The two desperadoes escaped and hid in a nearby bush. A bush that is as tall as a tree. \u00a0Clear to the top. \u00a0With much straining, cackling and scratches(and that was just David), they were taken back to jail.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8092\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More work was done on the jail to make it escape proof. \u00a0Oh?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8085\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Up in the tree-bush again the next night. \u00a0Let’s play find the chicken.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8092\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back to jail with more wood, more sticks, and bricks to keep the prisoners inside. \u00a0Finally, it worked, but the two desperadoes were not happy with it. \u00a0They continuously looked for an escape.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8094\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, happy dorky chicken remains free to fight another day.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8095\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Who you lookin’ at? \u00a0 I did nothing, I saw nothing. \u00a0I’m innocent.” \u00a0Ahem.<\/p>\n

After contending with that, I decided to paint the floor of my shop porch. \u00a0We removed everything off the porch.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8113\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN8114\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I saw all this I told David it looked like a really good garage sale or auction find. \u00a0And it all belonged to me!<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8117\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got up really early on the hottest day of the summer so far and began to paint.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8116\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then when it was painted and had dried, I had to put everything back, but in a better order. \u00a0I am happy with it.<\/p>\n

A little something about painting. \u00a0David is a very slow, meticulous painter. \u00a0He does a really great job, but takes a long time. \u00a0I did this floor in about an hour. \u00a0When David paints his shirt looks like this afterward.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8121\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I paint I am more of a fast, kind of sloppy painter. \u00a0My shirt looks like this after I paint.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8119\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I watch those remodeling shows where the perky, cute well dressed hostess paints a room in jewelry and white pants and doesn’t get a drop of paint on her. \u00a0How does she do it? \u00a0 \u00a0How does David do it? \u00a0I keep this shirt for all my painting so I won’t ruin all my clothes. \u00a0I also have a special pair of paint pants. \u00a0I can roll in the paint and I wouldn’t worry. \u00a0 Sometimes it looks as if I did. \u00a0I also have to take a bath after I paint and get the paint off my hands, arms, face and out of my hair. \u00a0But even at that, I have painted every room of our house at least twice and some three or more times and they don’t look too bad for a messy painter because I don’t get any paint on anything but the walls and me.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8077\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I will leave you with a picture of a vintage tablecloth I purchased at an antique mall this past week. \u00a0I collect these and it is getting harder to find any I like, but this one really caught my eye and was a good price.<\/p>\n

Here’s to desperado chickens and the fun they provide. \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n
