I spent most of the day out in the front barn. The mice are out of control. We believe they are about under control in the house (no visible evidence of mice in a couple weeks in the house), but they are totally out of control in the front barn. Barney the cat is missing a tremendous opportunity. The intent of the day was to start covering the chicken run, but my early morning trip for supplies was thwarted because the truck would not start. So...I decided to clean out the barn. One and a half full trash cans later, the front barn was relatively clean and organized, and the truck battery got charged up, so Jody and I went in to Georgetown and did some supply shopping and had lunch. I am not 100% sure what tomorrow will bring, but I have a pretty good idea! We think this is a yellow headed black bird (makes sense). This is a little too far east for their territory, but they might have been blown in with the last couple of storms we have had. Who knows. There are about a half-dozen males, and I am sure if there are any females...haven't really seen any of them. Who knows. If you have another idea about what this bird might be, speak up...Muzzy -- Adjective. 1a. dull, gloomy. b. not clear or precise. 2. muddled or confused in mind. The high-powered cold medicine left Farrah with a muzzy feeling in her head, but she was feeling better in less than 24 hours.
Did You Know? Muzzy is believed to have been formed by combining two other words that can mean "unclear" or "confused": muddled and fuzzy. It can refer to a state of mind like that of a drunk person, or to the confused ramblings that come out of such a person's mouth. Rudyard Kipling used the former meaning in his 1891 story "The Mutiny of the Mavericks": :Mulcahy confused the causes of things, and when a very muzzy Maverick smote a sergeant on the nose or called his commanding officer a bald-headed old lard-bladder and even worse names, he fancied that rebellion and not liquor was at the bottom of the outbreak."
