Blondie tells me to explain to the 6 year old niece that I killed her cute pet bunny that lived at our house [20:24] poor bunnies! [20:25] [Owlhawk] Meh, so far they are theoritcal bunnies [20:25] [Owlhawk] way too many wires running around this house to let bunnies into it [20:26] *** rovena (rovena@sorcery-gqnl8k.direcpc.com) has quit IRC [Connection closed] [20:26] understood [20:26] how have you all been?

[20:31] Hello Magermax [20:31] Evening all :) [20:31] Hello. [20:31] Hubby fell off the house last summer which is when we think he damaged it. [20:32] OMGs, Rovena! [20:32] Hello, Magermax [20:33] At the time, I insisted he go to Quickcare. They sent his to ER who gave him 5 staples [20:33] [Owlhawk] I remember you mentioning that incidient [20:33] I bet [20:34] Life with Boogie is not boring [20:34] lol, I am sure [20:35] Tomorrow he is making a crow feeder [20:36] Oooh! [20:37] Is it like a pole with dead animals hanging from it? [20:37] ;) [20:38] It isn't easy designing a feeder that is strong enough to support the crows and high enough off ground to keep the cats away. [20:38] I was just kidding [20:38] Rhiannon said I was "insensitive" [20:39] I am sorry [20:39] [Owlhawk] lol. I liked your idea! [20:39] It is my experience that crows are "sunsingers" [20:40] the fly west as they sing the sun up over the horizon [20:40] Drum, around here your idea would fit in [20:40] [Owlhawk] lmao [20:40] Cool [20:41] Drum, you could never be insensitive [20:41] I knew a former member who would leave corn out every day and the crows would come [20:41] Rovena, you are kind [20:41] We have some raw peanuts in the shell to get them started at the feeder [20:41] Good idea [20:42] they like the challenge and have beaks of steel [20:42] The Internet is full of good ideas [20:43] It is a devotional item in a way [20:44] Yes. Offering to the Nature Spirits [20:44] I love it! [20:44] He is putting it next to our nemeton [20:46] I really like the idea, Rovena [20:46] It would make for a great Oak Leaves story [20:46] [20:46] Thanks. Boogie says he would do your idea 'cause the guy behind us would probably supply the critters but the lady next door would freak [20:47] I will try to write it up. [20:47] Mother Morrigan would like the idea. [20:48] Yes, she would, oh my goodness [20:52] Will it be decorated? [20:53] Not sure what he has planned other than painting it red [20:53] [Owlhawk] you have Blondie reconsidering putting a bird feeder in the backyard again. [20:54] :) [20:54] Red is perfect for the Morrigan [20:54] Read that crows like that color as well [20:55] That doesn't surprise me [20:56] There is a certain logic to it [20:58] you could write "Morrigan" in ogham on the feeder ;) [20:59] [Owlhawk] That would certainly get her attention [21:00] Yes, he loves woodburning. I will suggest it. [21:01] He likes the idea. [21:01] :D [21:01] *** Gebann (Gebann@sorcery-7er1ci.client.bresnan.net) has joined #ADF [21:01] Good dinner?
