Spring touch
A bowl of eggs.
Saved from my chickens.
The softest shade of blue-green.
They bring beauty to my everyday life.
Eggs in the morning
Though it is Summer, I have been waking very early.
Tiding up in the morning from kids who stay up later them me, has become my ritual.
Washing the eggs collected the evening before.
I can see from my small kitchen sink window, the scratching chickens in the coop.
The ducks waddle by on their way to the next great rain puddle to bathe in.
Flame grazes in the pasture, raising her beautiful head to listen to a truck drive by on the gravel road.
Jimmy, our sassy little donkey is never far from her side.
I love sunrise on a Summer morning.
Gotta run, Rosie is at the front door for her morning treat!
A Day In The Garden
Not one moment of the day was wasted yesterday.
The first– truly warm, sunshine filled day…after the longest Winter.
Yes, I’ll have another–thank you.
As simple as that
Simple Spring–saved eggs from my Americana Chickens.
Nested in a favorite ironstone bowl.
Rural Practicality
Farmer Carl advertised a chicken brooder house for sale.
After a lovely visit with Carl, I purchased the “rustic” farm building.
Not quite sure how or if it would make the journey to our property..
but I had a vision!
Luckily, my husband is handy, and he didn’t give up!
As always, it’s a family project.
“Yes, kids–we are getting chickens and chickens are so cool”!
Guess what I found
Eggs!
After a molt and apparently a revolt on proper chicken behavior…
the girls are laying a few eggs!
Meet Helen
Helen is wearing lovely feathers in Autumn shades.
She enjoys free ranging in the garden, and hanging out with her friends.
Her platform is: Eggs, they taste good!
A little help from my friends
The chickens like to help with the flower bed clean up.
