Here are some of the girls.  Aren't they handsome?  They provide us with lots of fresh eggs every day.  My neighbor cares for them as the coop is in his back yard.  I love my girls!

interesting day

Question of the day?

If you are hosting a 50th birthday party for your husband, with your 8 year old son and family, should you take a muscle relaxer that a friend gives you after you have consumed a bottle of wine???  I love family gatherings!!!

more fav things

My garden cottage is such a great spot to relax. Made by my husband and neighbor for my birthday 2 years ago. It is finally weathering to a nice gray color. This weekend I will plant the window boxes. My favorite flowers happen to be whatever is blooming in my garden. This is the first year I have had alliums, and they are all blooming. I planted 25 last year. Fabulous!

I planted some tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers tonight. I hope to be able to plant all weekend and work in the garden. 3 days of rain is depressing, but happily I had to work those days, so I shall not complain.

Mother Nature is calling my name.
Tomorrow, chicken pictures for sure!

Some of my favorite things...

My very first entry into the blog world, and let's keep it positive (even though I had a shitty day at work!) So I took my camera outside to capture a few of my favorite things. Luckily, I have a lot of them, and hope to continue tomorrow with my chickens and other fav things. Plus, I get to practice adding photo's. Let's see if I can do it. Oops, they didn't go where I wanted them to.

first try at garlic
strawberry fields forever.....


Here are my 2 boys, Cosmo and Bo. Boy, can they demolish my house. They love to chew my shoes, and then get anything off the kitchen counter that they can find and eat it. Like a full pan of brownies, or that great rhubarb crisp recipe I found in Country Living magazine. I still love them.

Sure helps to think of the good things in your life, to help you forget about all the dumb people you run into every day!
