Whenever there is a function which includes food (wait, that would be ALL functions). Whenever there is a function I take a dessert. Rarely will you spy me toting in a salad or rolls. Nope, I’m a dessert toting kinda gal. Although I did make a corn casserole for an Easter dinner this year but…
Wednesday July 2nd was hot, humid and filled with an unholy number of mosquitos. And I had a blister. So my walk was short this week, I circled the woods behind my chicken pen. Here is what I saw. I love how this vine thing, looks like something from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.…
Ameraucanas have a special place in my heart. Of the first 20-something chicks I bought over 3 years ago there are only 3 left and they are all Ameraucanas. Some folks like to call them ‘Easter-Eggers’ for the blue and green tinted eggs they lay. I have found they are excellent layers and obviously hardy…
Our 4th of July was simple and fairly noise free. We drove 2 hours to Louisiana, my husband shod 2 horses, Addie enjoyed the swing and I took turns watching them both. Then we drove 2 hours home, grilled some ribs and veggies from the garden and did fireworks. The smoke bombs were first. …
Horses love to roll in the dirt. They especially love to roll right after you have spent about 45 minutes giving them a bath and doing their hair. Come to think of it they aren’t much different than Addie, who is almost 6 years old. Only she really prefers mud to plain, old dirt. I…
I don’t really care for fresh cucumbers, I don’t dislike them I just prefer other veggies when given a choice. I do, however, LOVE sweet relish and pickles. So I planted a bunch of Pickling Cucumber seeds. And they came up. And then they died. I should really find another hobby…they looked just like my…
I haven’t thought much about swinging lately. Swinging like in a swing not ……..never mind. Anyway. My grandparents used to have this huge tire swing behind their barn, it was made from a tractor tire and was held in the massive Blackjack Oak by a grass rope that looked like it came off the Titanic.…
My walk was a bit different this past Wednesday June, 25th. I was (don’t laugh!) chicken sitting for a good friend so she could go on vacation with her family. Well, chicken sitting includes ducks, parrots, cockatiels, guinea pigs, 3 small dogs and 1 very large dog. So I took advantage of being someplace new…
I always wanted a silkie in my flock and about 2 years ago my good friend, Amanda, gifted me with two. One Blue, one Black. The Blue was a recent victim of crime but the black is doing well. So I bought a few more colors this year, I’d like you to meet the Partridge Silkie.…
Cookies make people nice. If you see a mean, out-of-sorts person, just give’em a cookie. It won’t fix their problem but it will probably make them smile. Unless they can’t have sugar, then all you have done is make things worse. Or if they are allergic to nuts and you give them a peanut butter…
