Chickens

Have you hugged your chickens today? 🐔

We also got 6 baby chickens last week. Why? Good question, miss the ones we had in Ohio and I was raised with chickens and I love the fresh eggs from real open range hens. My neighbor down the street here in W. V. also has a few chickens that run around their huge yard. She has even loaned us the use of some of her stuff for the chickens, thus saving us some money to start. She said they have not had any problems with hawks bothering chickens. Right now our baby chicks are tiny but growing and getting used to being handled, so no freak-outs if I have to handle them at any time. They come right up to me now. Starting to get their wing and tail feathers. It is so relaxing to just hold them and right now they are so playful. I am changing their little pen area every day with clean water and food. They are not a bother at all. The dogs and chickens are getting used to each other. Sure don't want any problems there. Kricket had a pet chicken that always came to see him when we went out in the back yard there in OH. He loved that chicken. 

We now have time to get their pen and housing ready before they are ready to turn loose. They will have a huge 2 acres to play on, security during the evening and nighttime also.

Gardening

Got all my garden plants and ready to plant but not until it warms up some out there. Got some beets, eggplant, tomatoes, green pepper, carrots, asparagus, and a pretty marigold flower. Will add some more if I can find them, want some okra plants. Much faster to plant than doing seeds. The corn we have to seed. Anyway, can't wait until we get the garden going. 

Love and Prayers

Second Shot Day

Morning to all, 

We are off to get our second shot today, hope it works like the first one, a little sore on arm is all. 

Cool out and very cold at night still right now. 

Hope all are staying safe out there.

Love and Prayers, 

Margo

Sunny cool day

Afternoon everyone, 

Well, it rained and some small hail also last evening and night. Today the sun is out but it is cool and just a little windy. We plan to work some in the garden if the weather holds up. I have got to get my corn, and other vegetables in the ground that we picked up the other day.

If while going through this blog site you find out that some links in the blog don't work, please let me know so I can check them as things sometimes get messed up when making changes. 

Hope all are doing great.

Love and Prayers

In Memory

In Memory of my sister

 

 
A few pics of better days

This I do in memory of my sister Nita and all of her artwork that she hand drew and sent to me to digitize into embroidery, all of the designs on this site will be lowered in price and they will stay that way while I am online. When I have finished digitizing the rest of her artwork, they will be added to this site also.  

I do hope you will come to love her artwork as I always have. She is and will always be missed and loved so much. Although there were twelve years between us it never stopped the love we had for each other and always helping each other through all our troubled times. We both were in the Army and have honorable discharges. Nita's husband was in the Air Force and retired from Air Force. My husband Vince was also in Army with an honorable discharge. Nita had many friends around the world from all their travels. 

The new website name is now Crafty Rose Angel.  

Here is one of the oil paintings that she had finished. There are many many more that I may share on here as time allows me to I will add some pics of the ones that I have come to love. 

Nice sunny day to all

 Morning all, 

Well after a couple of really hard freezes in the 20's it is now going to warm up again, it has totally frozen the flowers on the tree that we're going to be so pretty this year are now yellow-brown in color and just hanging. So now we can only hope for a new year for a lovely spring again. 

I do have some tree lilies coming up and they seem to be ok. I sure hope they are going to be great nothing can beat them for color and sweet smell.

I am going to try and plant a garden this year, have not done that in decades, but want to give it a try. Maybe the funniest thing I do the year = stay tuned. 

The weeping willow trees are leafed out and don't seem to be hurt by the freezing temps. Yellow flowering bushes are a little nipped, but still have some flowers on them. Easter flowers as I call them lay down on the ground in the freeze, but come back up in the sunlight. Thank goodness. 

wishing all a Happy Easter if only a day late. 

Rainy Morning

Well, rainy this morning, and now the sun is out and it is windy and warm. A nice break from the snow and cold. Making me want spring more and more, but I am not ready for that either, need to do a lot of work within the house yet. Then we can play outside.
