My little sister has a good sense of humor. She bought me this a few years back for my birthday. It was good advice then and it is good advice now. Because you never know about those fairies lurking in the flower garden. Besides it makes me laugh. 🙂
Fun, Funky, Cool and Colorful are just a few things I look for when adding to my flock. Of course they also need to produce eggs, be fairly gentle and reasonably intelligent. Enter Cream Brabanters! “Hi Mama!” Aren’t they cute? I love their fruff-ties. That is my word. And when they run, they stick their necks…
Chiggers are a foul, evil, burrowing insect which until recently had been pushed to the back of my mind. I haven’t experienced chiggers in YEARS!

Hi! Hello there! It is FRIDAY people! Cheer up! My chicken and I wish you an awesome weekend! xoxoxoxoxo ( I know this looks a lot like the photo in my ‘Meet the Flock’ post but is in fact, brand new. Apparently this is Chicken’s favorite new pose…) 😉

Attention everyone! I would like to place an order in advance for next years summer to be exactly like this years summer. We had our third cool front of July this week and another one is on the way to usher in August. This combined with abundant rainfall-perfect summer. My walk July 30th was a…
