There are days when "tales" take place in a moment and I am lucky enough to have my camera ready to capture the moment. And then there are tales that unfold over a number of months.Today's tale is one that began last summer. It is a tale that...

The other evening my last stop for the afternoon feeding was the barn....to feed the kitties. Most afternoons, when I walk through the barn door, I have to watch my step. There are usually three kitties trying to cozy up to me, wrapping themselves around...

Here's Elvis, out with his gals and he's singing a new song! "It's now or never......" he croons. Elvis is as concerned as I am about our hens' dwindling egg production. Ever since that dog attack several weeks ago, production has been...

In A Fog
We spent yesterday in a fog.
Literally.
(And you thought I might be referring to our state of mind!)
From the time of sunrise right through to sunset,
the day stayed murky and gray,
rainy, drizzly,
unseasonably warm...55 degrees.
Everyone took shelter for the day.
Except of course the chickens and turkeys....
they are like the Post Office (used to be)...
not wind nor rain nor....(I forget the rest)
will keep the birds from enjoying a day out of doors.
It seems as if my youngest hens (hatched July 9th) have started to lay.
I have been finding a handful of tiny eggs like the one on the right each day.
We are up to about 3 dozen eggs per day from our gals.
(Keeping a light on in the henhouse until 9 PM seems to help increase winter production.)
On the subject of eggs,
I do believe that one of the barn kitties has begun to lay.
I found this under Ella Bella yesterday afternoon....
Hmmmmmm...quite a curiosity!
Today is my day off of farm work (thanks to our friend Jim)
so I am taking a little time to go visit Tyler and his Mommy.
I haven't seen the little man since Thanksgiving...
Hope your day is as good as I know mine will be!!!
