A Few of My Flock

Foghorn is working on his feminine side. I went out to check on the hens and there was Foghorn sitting up on a nest. I don't know how long he was there, but it was a while.

This is Buttercup.

And this is Butterscotch. I call them The Butters. They really turned out to be pretty hens. They were born in April and think their mom was a golden sex link and I think Foghorn was the father. I think. They lay really good too.


These were the white and black biddies born in the end of June. The white one, Snow, is already laying.

I'm not sure about the black one. And I have no idea who her mother was unless it was a barred rock. Oh well. Everyone is still okay so far. About once a week I still walk through the woods trying to leave scent to keep the coyotes away.

New Years Eve

It's New Years Eve and it its 75*. The first of the week we had a low of 17*. Of course, this kind of weather brings on tornadoes. The cold is coming back tonight and tomorrow. I heard it will be in the twenties for lows in a couple of more days.

These are some blooms and baby limes on my key lime tree.

I saw a honey bee and a couple of lady bug in my little green house. I went to get the camera; you got it. They were gone by the time I got back out.

So I got a few pictures of the Goldfinches. They are yumming it up.

When it is cold, there will be about eight to ten on each sock. I also have different feeders and a sunflower seed feeder. I do like to watch the birds and see what all kind of breeds I get.

I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!

Camping Trip

In November we went camping. (No, I have not been camping all this time; I've just been busy, lazy or something or all of the above). This is what we were camping in. Actually, there were two trucks and campers.

We had great fun. We went hiking and sitting around a fire for it was cold. We were camping at Lake Claiborne in northern Louisiana. Not far from home.

This was one of the sites when we came close to the lake on one of our hikes through the woods.

This was outside the camper one morning. There was lots of fog on the lake. I was trying to get a shot of ducks I saw fishing. It didn't happen. It was a really pretty spot and I hope we do this again in the early spring. I also hope I do better at my blogging. Sorry to be away so long.

No Rain

It is so dry here it is unreal. Where I live we have had less than .20 tenths of an inch in two months. Although the whole state is in drought, the area I'm in is even less the most areas.

There is no grass for the horses. NONE! I have even started feeding them the hay I have for the winter. I can only hope we get enough rain soon to get the Rye grass going. I had the horses moved to my brothers pasture, which had just a little grass, and last Saturday they decided to come home. Scared me too death. I looked out and they were coming down the road. Not good.

Hopefully we will be getting more rain soon.

Wordless Wednesday

Three Baby Chicks

Baby chick time again. One was hatched on Sunday and the other two on Monday. yesterday was the first day out into the big bad world. First lesson; eating.

Bottoms up!

We learn early to scratch.

Peep-Eye

Thank goodness I check my shoes every now and then. I am afraid of putting my feet in shoes with spiders in there.

These shoes stay on the porch and I usually just jump in them. I have no idea why I looked this morning, but I did.

I think this little frog what hiding from Oscar or Chili. I think it was Oscar because he was under the steps barking the night before.

That's okay; he found the perfect hiding spot. I just jumped in another pair of shoes.
