Great pics everyone! Pictures are my favorite. Been quiet, but reading when I can. Now that Christmas is over, the Birthday rush has hit us. My oldest turned 7 Sunday and he decided he wanted a party at home. Gearing up for that and trying to figure out how I am going to entertain 10 kiddos for two hours. We are going to make our own walking sticks and go on a scavenger hunt out back to the old sycamore. One of my son's favortie things to do. Luckily the weather is going to be nice! 54*!!
Tg, I wouldn't be ready to throw the towel in, either!
Teila, I am jealous of that watermelon your girls have!!
Liz, I love Lucy's dark eggs! My cuckoo marans do not tllay very dark, but the color is so perfectly uniform. The welsummers lay darker.
Kinda a sad day. We lost Lucky yesterday to a hawk. Willie couldn't save her this time. I should have known better and was going to leave them locked up yesterday because the day before a red tailed hawk made a number of low passes on them, but I forgot and let the little coop out... And well... Safety in numbers. Her little face was absent at head count, usually peeking out from under someone else. I found her next to the coop and in the treeline. Sadly, she started as one of three a year and a half ago... All have been taken by hawks. Ugh. Well, as much as I hate to do it, lockdown now until spring.
