Meet Clouds-My Rooster


Hello to all, 

On Tuesday, we took a small trip and got a rooster for my three hens. More chickens will be added after we get some chicks to raise this spring. 

Clouds as I like to call him, is mostly white, with some black to dark gray color on the tail and on his neck. He is turning out to be very tame; you can pick him up just like picking up a puppy. He only has one eye. There is no wetness or leakage from the eye area. Does not seem to bother him. Will keep an eye on him.
We do not know what happened to it, and neither does the person we got him from. Seems he just showed up in their yard, so they cared for him. 

From the first day, he and the hens stay together, and they retreat to the roost inside the coop for the night. I love him. 

Tuff, the twins, and Cloud



I love how they all come for their treats about noon each day.

Love and Prayers,

Bookmarks Anyone?


Hello to all, 

Here are more bookmarks just for the looking. Remember to see a larger 
pic of the bookmarks, just click on the picture. 


          



        



Here are the last 4 for now. I love making them and working with beading 
and all that goes with it. 

I think I may try my hand at some loom beading, making a necklace that 
has an Indian girl on it, like the one my sister gave me. 



Love and Prayers,

More bookmarks


Hello to all, 

Here are a few more bookmarks I have made. Not sure what I will use them on, but I 
will find a way to use them or sell them. 


Antique gold
        





Silver lightening



Here, we have a large and a small bookmark. Some people could use the "light" 
bookmarks for things like magazines. They are light and nice to use.

WHY?

Hello to everyone, 

The question for the day is this: WHY? Why do people think it is ok to just "dump" their cats or dogs out in the county where they think everyone else will care for them? Not true in most cases, people out in the country are no different than everyone in the cities or outskirts. If anyone wants a cat or dog, they get one on their own. They do not just take what has been dumped on them. 
We had another black cat not make it on these roads around here. It is a shame that people don't love their pets enough to do the proper thing when they cannot take care of them any longer. It is a shame that their pets are made to suffer because of them. 

If you want a pet, then take care of it, and this means to the end of life. Do the proper thing, or don't ever get a pet to start with. 

These are just my thoughts.

Love and Prayers, 
 Margo

Bookmark Beaded Dangle

Hello all, 

I wanted to share a new pic of my first "dangle" bookmark. I made this for a friend and gave it to her a few days ago now, she loved it. I will be making more along with some other ideas I now have. I love working with beads. I will make some for the seasons and holidays plus I have an idea for some using a mermaid and other themes. 
If you click on the picture it will enlarge.

My 1st Bookmark Dangle

I hope you enjoy looking at this new one. I will add more pictures as I work on more items. 
If you have some ideas, please add some comments below.

Our Christmas Tree


Hello all, 

I wanted to post a pic of our Christmas tree for all to see. I loved it. 




Frosty is on the side of the pic in his cage. He did not freak out at bringing up the tree or anything else like he used to long ago. He has mellowed out shall we say.

COLD -10 degrees

Hello to all, 

I woke up this morning to -10 degrees. Checked my chickens and they are doing just fine, the little birds around us eating each day are showing up and we filled their feeders, I know they need to eat to live in this crazy weather we are having this year. 
We seem to have about 1 and 1/2 feet of snow on the gazebo right now.

We do now need to put up the Christmas stuff as I call it. Just putting it off. 
Hope all are keeping warm.

Love and Prayers,

Doves taking a bath

Hello to all, 

I wanted to find something that would let my doves take a bath. I looked the web over and found this item. I will say I am not being paid to show this product. I paid for it and hoped that it would work. I did show it to the doves. They looked interested so I added some warm water and turned on the "spray" of water. They loved it. In fact, if it was larger, it would work just fine. I am in the hope that it will encourage my African parrot to jump in and take a bath. It would be so much better for him than just a spray of water for a bath. 

I can't upload a video here, but the link below will take you to my YouTube channel and you can watch the doves take a bath. Any bird would love to jump in and have some fun.

I do recommend that you watch how much water you add, you only need enough to get the pump-to-pump water with no problems. I also use just warm temp for water, not cold.

Drop by and have some fun watching my doves taking a bath. There will be more videos coming now that I have got the first one uploaded. Just learning how to work all the whistles and bells.

Snow? - I thought we left AK!

Hello to all, 

This is the most snow I have seen in West Virginia since we moved here. We moved here back in 2019. We have seen a little snow here and there but nothing like this. I do understand that more is on the way after this storm is over. I do love how pretty everything is after a good wet snowfall. But now when one has to get out and go somewhere. 

Here is a link to watch Vince's plowing snow video. 

Here are some pics of snow around us in the yard. 

Update: The next day or so we had a couple of lovely neighbors plow out our driveway twice.

Crown of Thorns

Hello to all, 

This is a picture of my crown of thorns that was sold to me as an ORANGE flowering plant. Although it is very pretty, it is not orange. The flower behind the red with blotches is a yellow flower with red blotches. It is truly "weird" in color. I love it, but I have noticed also that it is a grafted plant. Nothing was said in the info about the plant that it was grafted. 


My ORANGE flowering Crown of Thorns?


I will contact the company I bought this from because, contrary to what I was told, it is not "orange" flowering.

Love and Prayers,
 Margo

P.S. Update: Jan. 09, 2025
Contacted the company and they said it was "mislabeled" and they would be sending me another "orange" Crown of Thorns. Very nice of them.

My Yellow and Purple Orchids

Hello to all, 

I bought yellow and purple orchids last summer. When they finished flowering, I thought I would never see them flower again well, I was wrong, now in November they both put on buds. Then in December, the buds got larger and now at the end of December, it has started to flower, the yellow one. Then today now in January the purple has one flower opening. I am so happy to see them bloom again. I know nothing about orchards, so to have them flower again is wonderful. 

Update pic of my purple orchid
A few days later than the other pic.

I wish they had a lovely smell to go with all the colors.

Happy New Year's Visitor

Happy New Year 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day for this new year, wishing everyone a wonderful happy new year. 
Here is a pic of our visitor this new year.

Happy New Year Possum

Today was a New Year's start with old friends; we caught another possum who dropped by to say "hi." 
 
This afternoon it is snowing for the new year, and they say that "cold" is coming after about one week of super warm weather. The ground is turning white as I type this message. 

I have healed from my dump down the hill while riding on my trike. Bones did heal many months ago, but the neck is still a problem, just have to wait until it all heals. Still have places that are numb on the body, but at least they don't hurt. 

We are doing just fine and so are Kricket, Truffles, Frosty, the doves, and chickens. We are down to 3 hens now and they are on strike, not laying for the winter so far. We will be adding more hens this spring. Not a bunch perhaps 3 or 4. 

Oh yes, almost forgot the wild cat we are still feeding 2 years after someone dumped him off out in the woods. Some people!


Love and Prayers,
 Margo
