I’ve been wanting to introduce you to these girls forever! They are hysterical, fast, funny and completely adorable! I’m pretty sure they are Lavender Polishes and they are the only two like this in Maydelle, Texas! Lucky girl that I am they were both hens, I plucked them both from a straight run assortment in April.…
I remember learning to read. My mother had a race car chart on the fridge that was supposed to inspire me and track my progress. I’m not sure if I ever finished ‘the race’ however I remember when I finally determined that reading was essential to life. I was around the age of seven and…
Do you have a list of things you are going to ask God when you get to heaven? I know I do. After I meet Moses, Noah and Daniel I’m going to get down to the matters that weigh on my brain daily like “Why can’t I get a tan instead of turning a brilliant lobster…
Cookies are one of my great loves. “Gluten Free” was a term that until recently, had never gone thru my head. Then I met Miss Sara. Miss Sara is a gracious, lovely lady I met during a brief period of madness in my life when I thought I wanted a restaurant and bakery. Everyone has…
I have grown lots of things in my life. Several hundred pounds of corn and squash. Close to 1,000 chickens. Maybe more. And a little human. This took the longest. I even managed to grow and keep a houseplant alive for almost 2 years. A feat in and of itself for me. Some years are better than…

Some people have really strict moms. “No you may not stay out until 9:01, 9:00 sharp or you are GROUNDED young lady!” Some people have super over-protective moms. “No Susie, you may not push the button on the elevator without protective gear, you don’t know WHO has pressed that button or WHERE their hands have been.” Some people…
If chickens printed a pin-up calendar these gal’s would probably grace the cover! I present to you “Hot Chicks 2014” they bathe like they mean it!
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…
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…
