Proclamation – Thanksgiving Day – 1777

Proclamation – Thanksgiving Day – 1777

Continental Congress

 

This is the text of the Continental Congress November 1, 1777 national Thanksgiving Day Proclamation; as printed in the Journals of Congress.

Saturday, November 1, 1777

The committee appointed to prepare a recommendation to the several states, to set apart a day of public thanksgiving, brought in a report; which was taken into consideration, and agreed to as follows:

Forasmuch as it is the indispensable duty of all men to adore the superintending providence of Almighty God; to acknowledge with gratitude their obligation to him for benefits received, and to implore such farther blessings as they stand in need of; and it having pleased him in his abundant mercy not only to continue to us the innumeratble bounties of his common providence, but also smile upon us in the prosecution of a just and necessary war, for the defense and establishment of our unalienable rights and liberties; particularly in that he hath been pleased in so great a measure to prosper the means used for the support of our troops and to crown our arms with most signal success:

It is therefore recommended to the legislative or executive powers of these United States, to set apart Thursday, the 18th day of December next, for solemn thanksgiving and praise; that with on heart and one voice the good people may express the grateful feelings of their hearts, and consecrate themselves to the service of their divine benefactor; and taht together with their sincere acknowledgments and offerings, they may join the pentinent confession of their manifold sins, whereby they had forfeited every favor, and their humble and earnest supplication that it may please God, through the merits of Jesus Christ, mercifully to forgive and blot them out of rememberance; that it may please him graciously to afford his blessings on the governments of these states respectively, and prosper the public council of the whole; to inspire our commanders both by land and sea, and all under them, with taht wisdom and fortitude which they render them fit instruments, under the providence of Almighty God, to secure for these United States the greatest of all blessings, independence and peace; that it may please him to prosper the trade and manufactures of the peopel and the labor of the husbandman, that our land may yield its increase; to take schools and seminaries of education, so necessary for cultivating the principles of true liberty, virtue, and piety, under his nurturing hand, and to prosper the means of religion for the promotion and enlargement of that kingdom which consisteth in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

And it is further recommended, that servile labor, and such recreation as, though at other times innocent, may be unbecoming the purpose of this appointment, be omitted on so solemn an occasion.


Sheep Lover’s Blog Club

I’ve been listed under the Horse Blogs for quite a while now, and I do write about my horses every now and then but it seems to me that these sheep are taking over.  So on some of my horsey-blog-friend’s websites there is a little badge in their widgets that says “Horse Lovers” and that got my little gears grinding.  I’ve met more happy sheep owners through blogging and am fascinated with their entries about their little ovine friends.  So I came up with this:

112508_5210

It is my hand scratching my favorite ewe, “Violet,” behind the ear.  I wanted to create this little badge and pass it on to some of my new Sheep Blog Buddies and the only strings attached are that you also pass it on to some of yours, link to them and who passed it to you, and we’ll have a real bonified fire kindled for the Sheep Lover’s Blog Club.  Feel free to fit this smaller size in your widgets if you’re invited into the Sheep Lover’s Blog Club, this way we know who you are.

If it is too big for your sidebar, let me know and I’ll get you a smaller version.

So, on to my Sheep Lover’s Blog Club inductees:

Now go forth, and invite more!  I know there’s a lot of us out there!

Jacob Ewe – Kenleigh’s Kiara

112508_5118

When I go over to Charlotte’s Hen House now, I can name the noses I see in the sheep pen.  I’ve got them all down now, by some miracle.  This lady is one that a few of you expressed interest in.  Her name is Kenleigh’s Kiara and she is by Magic Moon Captain Hook and out of Zettle’s Blackberry.

112508_5119

She’s a very nice looking ewe, holds herself proudly though seems to be a little stand-offish. 

112508_5129

112508_5130

Her doting daughter is Castle Rock’s Grace O’Mally and Grace’s twin brother is the ram we have here I named Castle Rock’s Frances.  Grace is a very pretty lamb and my mother-in-law Charlotte, really likes her slipped eye patch.  I think it’s pretty cute too.

112508_5128

Kiara is definitely an asset to our flock and with all the wonderful things I’ve heard about her dam Blackberry, I’m proud to have her.


New Jacobs and a Thanks

First off, thank you so much to all the informative responses to my chicken dilemma.  I think I’m going to go with the suggestion of getting a few of each breed that I’m interested in.  And, yes, I’m going to get myself some banties.  I really really like those little guys!  I just have to decide WHICH banty I’m going to get… Ahhh, decisions decisions.  But, I do like the idea of Americaunas and Wynedottes.  Both of those sound like a good match for me.  I want to look up a few more breeds that you ladies mentioned but I’ve got time to really nail down what I’m getting for sure.  I don’t even have a chicken coop yet! HA! That’s the trouble and blessing of buying land that is basically bare except for a little shack and some fencing.

So, I’ve been visiting my new Jacobs over at my mother-in-law’s house trying to figure out whos who.  I have a few that I am sure about but like a dummy I didn’t take my paperwork there when I took these photos the other day.  I need to go back with the registration forms that their previous owner filled out and really figure them out.  Getting one or two sheep at once is a lot easier than a bunch!

112008_50611

Thank goodness for Photoshop so that I can zoom in and read their ear tags, (another good reason to tag your sheep, so that whomever buys them knows who they are!).  But it seems to me that about three of them have 0008 which is “April”.  I’m not sure how accurate that is or if I am just getting confused in the photos.  I was sure that the ewe above, being kind of the ring leader of the bunch, was either Hillside’s C.R. Boudicca or Chicory Lane Emma.  But it looks like her tag says 0008… So, I’m not exactly sure who she is just yet.  Which calls for another visit to Charlotte’s Hen House.

112008_5062

This ewe I was sure was April (Chicory Lane Emma x Chicory Lane Houdini) because she has four horns like the paperwork says and her tag is, yep, 0008.  But, I kinda got thinking that maybe….

This just in – Joan’s not as confused as she once was.  She has found their scrapie tag numbers and the two horned ewe above is indeed Chicory Lane Emma (Culloden Isaiah x Marsh View Carolina).  Whew!

112008_5065

I’m back from my complete state of confusion and things are now looking up.  The ewe on the right, with the four horns is Castle Rock’s Princess (Chicory Lane Houdini x Hillside’s C.R. Boudicca) and the wether with the funky horns on the left is “no-name.”  Apparently the previous owner kept him because “he has the best fleece.” 

112008_5068

This little lady here is Duke’s sister, Castle Rock’s Duchess (Chicory Lane Houdini x Chicory Lane Emma).  Her ear tag was very clear and legible – it also helped that she fit her description on her registration form perfectly.  She is about 65% black like her brother.

112008_5090

Duchess again.

112008_5070

I’m not completely sold on who this is, but I *think* it’s Castle Rock’s Aphrodite (Chicory Lane Houdini x Kenleigh’s Kiara).  Every time I tried to take a picture of her tag it was perfectly behind her horn and I couldn’t get a clear view of it. 

112008_50721

And if the two horned lady at the top was Emma, then this has got to be Hillside’s C.R. Boudicca (Marischal Doug x HIllside Gidget’s Midge).  Both Emma and Boudicca have an heir about them, like they’re the matriarchs of the flock and they take every thing in stride.  They seem to be the most personable too.

112008_5076

And after zooming in on this lady I believe her tag says 0009 so that would be Castle Rock’s Sprinkles.

112008_5077

She is out of Hillside’s C.R. Boudicca and by Chicory Lane Houdini.

112008_5080

“Hi! I’m April”  “Hi, my name is April”  “Me too!”  “Me Four!”  “I wanna be April too, she’s pretty!”

112008_5088

Oh, I’ll get this figured out… Someday. ;)


Charlotte’s Hen House

112008_5113

Once upon a time, a long long time ago, I was a chicken lover.  I had raised some white meat chicks for 4H as that was a good animal for me to start out with.  I must have been about nine as I think that’s when you can actually take something to the fair to sell in the Livestock Auction.  My chickens who were growing in to young adults were ravaged by an eagle believe it or not, and I had one that lived out of the many I had been raising.  Her name was Chook because that is what she said all the time, just short bursts of, “Chook chook!”  She ended up being a very confused chicken because at one moment she thought she was a dog, slept with our fat lady lab cross, Libby, and then the next moment was following our ducks down to the pond.  I remember at one point I had to try and save her from herself when she finally got up the guts to jump in.  A chicken, without webbed feet and wet feathers does not make for good water fowl.  Chook finally died of heat stroke or a heart attack I think.  We found her under our porch in the middle of summer, she was very large and very meaty by that time so I don’t think she was really bred to last very long but I cried and cried.  I loved that silly chicken.

112008_5102

At some point after Chook’s death, I decided that chickens were dirty, weird, and a pain in the rear.  It must have been my teenage years when you’re pretty much confused about a lot of things in life and tend to make hasty decisions based on… well, nothing.  So I became “anti-chicken.”  My mother-in-law, Charlotte, however is a bonified, dyed in the wool… err… feathers, chicken lover.  She lives and breathes the silly birds and gets an amazing amount of joy from them.  Especially this new batch of loving Rhodies and Barred Rocks.  They are really sweet hens and as you can see, aren’t very shy.  Yes, I had my telephoto lens on the camera but this was as close as my camera could shoot, if this hen were any closer she’d have been able to peck at the camera.

112008_5108

So Charlotte provides us with our eggs and really half of our church too.  Her new hens are producing wonderfully even as the days are shorter and the temperature is cooler.  But the other night as Hubby was doing dishes (!) he says, “We need chickens.”  Whoa!  Where did that come from?  As you may have guessed, he was throwing out some left over food.  Yeah, we could take the scraps to Charlotte’s house but after the day is done, the kid is in my hair, the house unruly even after I cleaned it, and various other things to do around here… I’m not about to worry about delivering scraps to a bunch of not-so-needy chickens.

112008_5098

But with this new thought implanted in my head by Hubby, I feel the old chicken-loving-juices start to come back.  Then a visit with Charlotte’s chickens this afternoon, well, they were quite fun to shoot (with a camera, not a shotgun).  They were all so personable and inviting, checking me out and wondering what that black thing was I was holding up to my face.  Then Ronnie the stunning rooster strolled on past and he just glowed in the sunlight.  What a gorgeous guy he is!  Does anyone have any idea what he is?

112008_5100

Charlotte received him in her mail order with the Rhodies and Barred Rocks as a special bird from McMurray Hatchery.  He has since grown in to this beautiful bird and Hubby was admiring his neck feathers the other night saying how nice they would be for fly tying.  I’d have to agree, they’re perfect.

112008_5107

Anyway, being the goofy gal that I am, I am not ever satisfied with your run of the mill breeds, obviously by my taste in Jacob sheep and Kiger Mustangs, I like to have rare breeds that aren’t around in everybody’s pastures all the time.  Rhodies and Barred Rocks, though very productive in their egg laying do not blow up my skirt.  I want something different, something unusual.  This little lady above is more my type.  She’s a banty of some sort I think, being as small as she is but she has so much character and you can spot her in the group.  She’s beautiful, and different.  To Charlotte, she’s beautiful but not a very big asset to her egg producing hen house.  Hubby has the same sort of idea on birds, they should be egg layers but I said that I didn’t want boring ol’ egg layers, I wanted something neat.  He said, “Fine, get a neat egg layer.”  So that’s why I’m posting, asking all of my smart chicken loving friends to point me in the right direction.  What breed is interesting, egg producing, hardy and not flighty?  Can you give me some suggestions?

112008_5109

Did I mention that Charlotte has three roosters and they’re all sweet?!  Is that possible?  Being a total rooster hater, I’ve never seen such sweet roosters in one place.  Most of the ones I know are horribly mean and they’ll chase you down for a challenge and an attack.  This is the back side of Frank, I named Frank and frankly (pun intended) I think it fits perfectly.  I think this is all he wanted me to see of him, his backside sauntering off.

112008_51101

“Hiya Frank!  Where ya goin’?  Frank?  Frank!  Frank you chicken!”  Yeah, good one Joan.

112008_51121

Her third one is this little feather footed friend.  His name is Tony, and I named him too.  I named him before I knew that “Tonys” came in all different sizes and shapes.  Before I met Shannon’s Tony, all of them that I’ve met are short.  So, thus the short banty named Tony.  Tony’s wife was named Thelma, and she was the most beautiful little feather footed banty you ever saw.  Her brown feathers were lined in thick black so that she looked like she wore a petty coat.  She was beautiful but went on to chicken heaven a few years back from unknown causes.  He’s now a widower who woos the ladies of Charlotte’s Hen House when he gets the sneaking chance away from Frank and Ronnie’s eyes.

112008_5103

So what do you suggest for my picky chicken requirements?  I am wondering about Michelle at Boulderneigh’s hen who lays the chocolate chip eggs?  I bet Lisa at Laughing Orca Ranch has some suggestions.  Anyone else?

I hope you enjoyed the girls and boys of Charlotte’s Hen House.


Christmas Wishlist

I heard on the radio last week in a discussion about our current recession and the question was asked, “How will the Christmas shopping be affected?”  The man’s reply was I think quite accurate.  People will not be so luxurious in their spending but more practicle.  People won’t be going nuts on spending and certainly not on frivilous things but on things that people might need; but everyone is sure to have something under the tree in a regular household.

With that in mind, I was thinking about what I would want for Christmas.  Sure, I have a fleece jacket habit that won’t quit and so does Hubby but in all seriousness how many do you need?  So I am now going through my new Premier 1 Supplies catalogue and came up with quite a few items that I’d like to find under my tree and a few items that I don’t find in Premier 1 as well.

  1. A manure spreader, one that tows behind my quad.
  2. EasyTag-1, I actually prefer the lime color; with how many lambs we are expecting this year it is about time I get my act together and actually start tagging and making some sort of sense to my tagging routine.

 28995_1

3.  Of course to go with my tags, I’d need a Premier 1 tag applicator to go with it.

4.  I am so tired of chasing my sheep around the pen that I want two, that’s right, T-W-O of these puppies; The “Premier” Fiberglass crook.  I like the looks and the novelty of the Sweet Chestnut Wooden Crook but in all practicality (there’s that word!) the fiberglass seems a better buy.

5.  Now I think this is one of the coolest gadgets yet, a Gambrel Restrainer, two of the small ones should fit the bill.  It is lightweight enough and small enough to carry around on the quad and my sheep are also small and lightweight enough to carry around on the quad too, if such a need should arise it’d be nice to be able to do this and have them restrained in an emergency.  And yes, I did say “gadget” but really it is a practicle one!

6.  My all time, must have, is this Flock Managemnet Guide.  I do have a leather journal that I keep notes in and birthdates etc, but this seems like it’d be something worth having around.  Hopefully it has a better way of organizing things than I do; I seem to do everything the hard way.

7.  A couple of these “Premier” Heat Lamps would be really nice.  They seem so much more safe and affective than your regular feed store kind.  And I’d have to have a couple of bulbs to go along with them.

18266_1

8.  This thing is so cool, a Navel Cup.  I normally use a little glass jar to hold my iodine and to dip the umbellical chords in to, but this thing looks so much easier and better to deal with.  My way is messy and a pain in the rear if the lamb kicks a lot, wich they normally do.

27_1

I could seriously go on and on with my list from Premier 1 but will stop so that you don’t quit reading my blog.  Anyway, I wanted to ask, what is on your list that is practicle this year?  Have you made any changes in your shopping for others?

Duke & Frances – Jacob Rams

We’ve recently, as in two weekends ago, picked up a whole flock of Jacob sheep.  They came from a very nice home where they were all extremely loved and taken care of but unfortunate circumstances required them ALL finding new homes.  We live about five hours north of where they were located and it was really too good of a deal to pass up.  We also hated to see such a nice group of sheep go to the auction which is where they were bound for had no one spoken for them.  These sheep are so nice  that they all wear dog collars  and walk surprisingly well on them.  We had a couple that bounced around but for the most part they’re pretty well mannered.

111208_4976

The first two, out of eleven, that I’ll introduce to you are the rams.  They were both born this spring of ’08 and both are twins.  Their sisters, moms and other ladies are all visiting my mother-in-law’s sheep for a bit while they get bred to our ram Raider. 

The four horned dude above is whom I plan on registering as Castle Rock’s Frances.  His registration form was filled out with his proper prefix but he didn’t have a name to call him by.  I decided on Frances because he seems to be a bit of a whiner.  I’m not saying that every one named Frances is a whiner, just that is seems like such a soft name; a pansy of sorts.

111208_4980

If you are a Frances, then I apologize, it’s just what comes to mind, that’s all.

111208_49811

This is his brother in the hood, Castle Rock’s Duke.  His twin’s name is… yep, you guessed it, Duchess.    Duke has a very nice wide horn set, very strong two horns and Hubby felt his fleece as he unloaded him out of the trailer and said it is very soft.  That’s a big deal when Hubby can tell these things!

111208_4982

Brother Duke and Brother Frances (as I like to call them), seem to be enjoying the pastures with the green grass.  It is just nubbins and they aren’t technically in the pastures, just a large holding pen for the rams which is about a quarter acre but it is larger then their other home and the grass, though nubbins is still grass.

111208_4985

Their biggest claim to fame, though, is that their sire is Chicory Lane Houdini who is now owned by Robin at Meridian Jacobs.  Houdini was actually brought over by Duke and Frances’ previous owner from Pennyslvania.  We own the ewe that was shipped with Houdini at the time, Chicory Lane Emma, too.

111208_4990

Houdini and Emma were actually brought to California by their previous owner because their wool is so nice and so are their breeding lines.  I have more to learn about that, but it’s nice to know that we have some good stock on this here ranch.  Notice the gate and H’s in the background?  Yep, that’s what you get with a ram pen. ;)

111208_4993

“Don’t look at me!  He did it!”

111208_4994

“If you ain’t careful, I’ll demonstrate here and now.”

Actually, neither one of those did it… But I can tell you that Shannon at Kenleigh Acres can give a good guess!


Back in the saddle again!

I hope I start hearing chirps and squeels when I go outside this evening, because I am back online at home for good!  I actually bought a wireless network thing-a-majig yesterday at Best Buy and actually installed it all by myself just now!  I can’t believe it actually is working on the first try. :D   This is a big deal for me, sure I can work the internet just fine, but to get into the nitty gritty of these silly boxes that keep us so entertained, well that’s another story.

Here’s some pictures since I’ve been gone:

The Wild West

Rules of Colorado , Wyoming , Montana , Utah , Idaho , and the rest of the Wild West are as follows: (This also applies to “true” Northern California… There are still five more hours north of the Bay Area to California… We are agricultural, down-home-cookin’, western folks; being overtaken by the city folks.  Blech!)
 
           1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.
 
           2. Turn your cap right, your head ain’t crooked.
 
           3. Let’s get this straight: it’s called a ‘gravel road.’ I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you’re gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
 
            4. They are cattle. That’s why they smell like cattle. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don’t like it? I-80 & I-90 go east and west, I-25 & I-15 goes north and south. Pick one and go.
 
           5. So you have a $60,000 car. We’re impressed. We have$250,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
 
           6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
 
           7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin’ in during the hunts, we WILL shoot it outa your hand. You better hope you don’t have it up to your ear at the time.
 
           8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It’s available at the corner bait shop.
 
           9. The ‘Opener’ refers to the first day of deer season. It’s a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
 
           10. We open doors for women. That’s applied to all women, regardless of age.
 
           11. No, there’s no ‘vegetarian special’ on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef’s Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.
 
           12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah We don’t care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat . . IT AIN’T REAL CHILI!!
 
           13. You bring ‘Coke’ into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring ‘Mary Jane’ into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
 
           14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
 
           15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don’t hit the water hazards – it spooks the fish.
 
           16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain’t music, anyway. We don’t want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!
 
           A true Westerner will send this to at least 10 others and a few new friends that probably won’t get it, but we’re friendly so we share in hopes you can begin to understand what a real life is all about!!!

Surprising, Shocking… Interesting?

I’m usually not much a “political” person, though my hubby is and I find myself being more interested in politics as they start to affect me more by way of Annie’s future.  I think that if “Good men do nothing, evil abounds.”  That’s really been hitting home lately as some county wide politics have been ruining our way of life here in the country lately.  Thankfully a local law has been repealed and we hope to be back to normal around here sooner than later.  But, I wanted to share you this YouTube video which I found very shocking as it got my wheels turning.  Granted, you can’t believe everything you read or see on the internet and this flick as well as the paragraphs afterward that my hubby received in an e-mail should be considered and truly investigated.  I’m certainly not saying Vote Democrat or Vote Republican, but considering the claims of some people, this could truly affect our Nation.  Should we be governed by someone who is producing false documents and lying, let alone someone not born in our Nation?  Whether Democrat or Republican, if a person claims to be born here but isn’t, shouldn’t they be brought to light and prosecuted for lying to the people, whom they work for? 

I only throw this stuff out as food for thought…

State Of Hawaii Backs Andy Martin In Obama Birth Certificate Battle

November 1, 2008

 

(HONOLULU)(November 1, 2008) Internet powerhouse Andy Martin has ignited a firestorm in Hawai’i over Barack

Obama’s bogus “original” birth certificate. Martin won a stunning victory Friday afternoon (October 31st) when the State

of Hawai’i backed his assertion that there was an original, “typewritten, 1961″ birth certificate, called a “Certificate of Live

Birth” or “COLB” in Hawai’i, that no one has previously seen. Hawai’i officials retrieved and examined the document after

Martin filed a lawsuit seeking access to the historic 1961 original.

 

Obama has falsely claimed to have placed the “original” on the Internet. Factcheck.org has falsely claimed to have seen

this document and posted it on the Internet; that is not true. CNN has falsely ridiculed Martin.

 

Hawai’i officials have now refuted Obama’s false assertion.

 

Martin’s victory in Honolulu will roil the final weekend of the presidential campaign. Internet chatter is expected to explode

as the issue moves to the front page over Saturday and Sunday. Swing voters may be swayed by the exposure that

Obama has brazenly been lying to the American people. “We just lobbed a grenade into the final weekend of the

presidential campaign,” says Andy.

 

“I am ecstatic. I called Obama a liar. I called Factcheck.org ‘ObamaLies.org.’ I said CNN was sloppy and lazy and wrong.

And I was right. The State of Hawai’i has now backed me up. Whew. I knew I was right, but I feel a lot more comfortable

knowing that I have started to get the machinery moving in state government. The original document is now obviously

protected and safe from any tampering by Obama.

 

“My lawsuit started a firestorm in Hawai’i. The circuit judge has set a hearing for November 18th (a report in the Honolulu

Advertiser for November 1st for an earlier hearing date of November 7th is inaccurate; that date was cancelled)….

“…Obama lied.”

 

Martin lands in Chicago at noon, and will proceed to his office, for an afternoon news conference.

 

Martin is also soliciting financial support to fund his litigation in Hawai’i.
