Chickens

Chickens Last year, my In-laws were supplying us with fresh eggs for over six months, it had gotten to the point that we were so spoiled on fresh eggs, that I couldn’t bare to buy store bought eggs anymore. So I asked my In-laws to bring us 4 chickens, we set up the under-stairs of […]

The Watermelon Chickens….part 2

part 1 Don’t you hate it when you buy a watermelon only to get it home and find out it’s old? I do, but my chickens don’t!! Check out Maisie with her 2nd brood, and 4 adopted chicks.  She’s such a good mommy! And those chicks, you think they will be spoiled for life? After […]

My backyard chickens eggs

This egg recall really has me thinking about raising chickens.  Initially, it started for the eggs, oh the glorious beautiful, golden yolk eggs.  I was spoiled on these truly free range eggs from my in-laws, and hadn’t bought a egg in months.  Until one day I ran out and had to buy pale, no flavor, […]

The Watermelon Chickens

It’s Hot!  Really, Really, hot. So much so that, my poor chickens, walk around with their beaks open and wings spread out, just hoping for a cool breeze. That never comes. So as a treat I cut the ends off of a watermelon and stuck them in the freezer for about an hour.  Then I […]

2 year old photos in the sandbox

So I was going to take 2 year photos of my boys, but in typical photographer’s child syndrome; I hadn’t planned it yet and was blanking on ideas, and outfits. SO I decided to keep it easy, in the backyard, unposed, playing, in their old onesies, barefooted, digging in sand. This is typical for my […]

Sneaky Snacks

So the other day the babies were playing out side and I was feeding the chickens and I walked up to this scene (of course I ran for my camera). What you are looking at is not a trash can, but the dog food can. The babies managed to push their wagon over to it, […]

Playing in the backyard

The nice weather and longer days make it nice for us to enjoy some playtime after dinner in the evenings.  The babies love going outside to explore and play. The worn out old cozy coupe was the item of choice last night. Which also brings to mind an old picture of the bigs playing in the […]
