We’re still snow covered, but it’s all just part of the scenery now.
Had a few more inches the other night, just enough to pretty up the dirty snow.
That’s do-able.
The middle hay field…
Right here is where I stand on a warm summers day
to catch the occasional ocean breezes, which come from the right of this picture…
or the smell of fresh cut hay when it’s harvest time.
Two of my favorite scents – if only they could be bottled.
The girls are not fond of the snow,
puts a damper on their free roaming ways…
but they’re still laying eggs, thanks to the red flood lamp I have in their coop.
Hens like a certain amount of daylight for laying.
Keeping them warm helps too.
My chickens eat very well too – they get their normal balanced feed,
and also table scraps – like pasta (they LOVE spaghetti) and oatmeal
and yogurt, cottage cheese, grapes, strawberries,
and whatever else is starting to wilt in the refrigerator.
A few simple changes have made our bedroom
alittle less wintry.. I needed some LIGHTNESS..
I don’t ordinarily decorate with blue accents..
but this hue, almost a robins egg, was calling to me.
Scratches and chips add to the charm, don’t you think?
Just a glance in her direction, and the tail begins to wag…always.
On my nightstand – The Thirteenth Tale – a great read – thanks Kate.
I did try those two recipes in the previous post…
they are awesome! Give them a try if you’re looking for something healthy and delicious.
It’s a new day, people. Make it a good one.
