I like to make all my dressing for Thanksgiving ahead of time because it freezes beautifully and reduces stress on the actual day. Just pop in the oven and bake! So I was running a bit short on time when I went to walk, my sister and Addie joined me today. We have an acre…
I’ve wanted, for most of my life, to make a scarecrow. So, at the ripe old age of 32 I finally realized my dream. Upon completion we sat together on the porch for awhile and when I finally decided to go inside I caught a glimpse of my recent creation out of the corner of…
I’ll not bother writing about why we ‘pulled the plug’ on cable over 5 years ago. There have been PLENTY of talk shows, radio shows, books and blogs on that very subject. And we all know the basic message. I’ll just say that while it took me a few months to convince my husband we…
I have a Chicken. I have a Child. I have a Chicken and a Child who are both dearly loved. The Child and the Chicken are both consumers of watermelon. See the evidence below…. People often tell me that Addie needs a little brother or sister otherwise she will never learn how to share. I…
Trees had over-taken my otherwise plush yard, leaving lovely shaded patterns all about, feeding underneath them was a herd of deer. As they peacefully munched the young foliage my chickens pecked among them, eagerly pursuing fresh tidbits of their own. Suddenly a large dog runs in, scattering the flock, frightening the deer and attacking Randy,…
Ladies and Gentlemen (I love that word by the way ‘gentlemen’)…..Ladies and Gentlemen! It has taken 6 months but I am happy to announce the girls are in full swing! Now, who would like an omelet? Have a great weekend y’all!
Whilst prancing in and out of the house over the course of an afternoon I noticed, on the 28th trip inside, that Agent had not moved in approximately 6 hours, 33 minutes and 5 seconds. I considered thumping him gently to make sure there was still life present but upon closer inspection I saw he…
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…
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…
