Normally I am very keen on knowing exactly what breeds I have in my flock. Not that I’m concerned about genetics, no, any and all chicks that hatch on my little plot are bound to be Heinz 57. I just like to know so when people come over I can say “Oh, look! There is…
As I mentioned Wednesday I spent a considerable amount of time attempting to convert my flock into bona fide Southern Baptists. 3 hours to be exact. To be a Southern Baptist is quite simple. Love Jesus, act each day as a missionary on the field of life, don’t dance (at least when anyone is watching!) and…
Recently a good friend of my mothers moved 3 hours away. She left her home, her family farm and her friends. She left with her daughter who is about to be 15 years old. My first thought was divorce and I was horrified knowing how long and happily the couple had been married. Thankfully it wasn’t…
I have a confession to make. Wednesday August 20th I walked. To my chicken pen. And took over 300 pictures of my chickens while attempting to covert them into Southern Baptists. Not sure if it worked….more on that Friday! And since I figured walking to my chicken pen didn’t qualify as “A Walk”, much as…
I made this cake for my mom ’cause she loves Amaretto. So do I, come to think of it….which is why I made myself a little treat as well! It is moist, creamy and the frosting….it’s the kind you make when you are home alone to ensure you get to lick the beaters. And the spatula. And…
First there was one and now there are three……. Way to go girls! I was starting to wonder…… 🙂
I woke up yesterday and thought to myself “Wow, I have a really large and shiny forehead” So I cut myself some bangs without so much as a by-your-leave. Ta Da! I pranced off to work thinking to myself I wonder what John will say? I wonder what Rob will say? I wonder what Addie…
Remember your first kiss? Paul G. our neighbor’s son who lived up the road, kissed me in his parents barn when I was 12 years old. I ran home, got in my closet, called my best friend and promptly gave her all the gory details. It was gross and grand all at the same time, my life would…
I don’t know about you people but this summer has flown by for me and mine, I can hardly believe that fall is merely 6 weeks away and I’ve seen more cool weather this month than any October the past 30 years! Craziness, so my walk August 13th was another one blessed by pleasant weather,…
Some folks say “Chicken Brained” as if it were an insult. I happen to think chickens have quick albeit small minds with a remarkable ability to recall people, facts and sounds. Please don’t take me to be one of “those” animal people who go off the deep-end on such subjects. No, I think I keep…
