My chickens are happy with the tiniest bit of bare ground that they can find. I see it as kind of a “lemon/lemonade” scenario. The eleven hens are giving me 8-10 eggs a day… so if it makes them happy to scratch around in the wee spot of earth they find outside my yard fence…
Hair Frost
Frost on some hair on the barbed wire fence… **** Every day, Mom. Every day. You made my life so very rich. I miss you still.
Hard Knock Life
I’ve been watching these two munchkins the past two days… We’ve managed to keep busy… including my little bout of cleaning where I tried to teach them the finer techniques of scrubbing floors. They did well, although I was overly concerned with the amount of water Lorelei kept applying to the floor. I guess I…

Sunday Drive
A Sunday drive for fun. I want to paint them all.
A Charaid
Vernon fed cows and worked on the hay feeder that’s broken. I’m not good at mechanic work other than “Hand me that 3/4″ socket” and I do as I’m instructed… It’s a great deal of standing around for me, so I worked inside on my house, doing the normal daily slog that must be done……

#TBT: “Zula’s Cabin”
Of particular interest to my friend and dedicated reader, D. My mother-in-law’s aunt was Zula. She married Rouse Anderson. To you locals, that explains how the Greets and Andersons are related! This photo reads: “Nowood homestead where Zula was born.” No date, but Zula must have been born in the early 1900’s… though I don’t…
