I had to do a double take on the kitten too. [COLOR=800080]But my Icelandic chicken is a better drama queen. (I promise she's alive and well, laying eggs)[/COLOR]

Yikes Kelly, she really looks dead..Heart stopping when I walk out to the coop and see this...

Wow the past 2 days have been exhausting! 1st the non stop rain and my not too bright Silkie didn't mix, she got soaked trying to hang out with the other chickens so had to bring her inside for a bath and the blow dryer. My mom came over to visit and she saw the Silkie just standing there on a towel loving the warm air, she was amazed that a chicken would let you use a blow dryer on her lol. She was cold, her beak was chattering. It took quite some time to dry all her fluffy feathers back into a poof.

2nd, I did my usual marathon cookie baking event, I give out cookies as gifts to my family. They are packed and done finally. Then, had to cook 3 pork shoulders into a huge vat of chile verde which I have never made before; hope it's ok. We will find out today lol.

This is the first Christmas for me and my almost 3 year old without my husband, who was killed in July when he was hit by a car while riding his bicycle. Please send us some prayers if you can.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

First off,

to You and your family! You are in my prayers!

Wow! Silkies are wonderful aren't they? My chickens did not like me spraying them with water on the hot days of summer! They would think I was killing them if I used a blow dryer. Cracks me up that they want to run out in the rain with the others.

Chili Verde sound really good for a soppy and foggy day! Let us know how it turned out and enjoy those cookies!
