Photo Friday!!!!! Get into the fall spirit....the leaves are fallin'. I woke up to 2 pretty silkie chicks this morning, Isabel did well. Threw some pretty ones. I'll post pics when they dry and fluff.
I was going to take a pic last night but didn't have a chance. I found a small cream colored egg! All 6 of the brown egg layers had laid yesterday, so it wasn't a mistake egg, which means one thing.... my Anconas may finally start laying!
 
Since it's still kinda early, and I haven't let the big chickens out of their coop yet, I'm contemplating letting the silkies out to free range a bit. They have been cooped up since I bought that new coop for them weeks ago. What I'd like to get in the habit of doing is letting them out one day, the biggers ones the next, etc etc. Think I'll give it a go starting today...I just feel so bad they're always in there.
 
Took some pics if the silkies, although Paris was camera shy...So here are few of Duncan and "Pearl" as my daughter has been calling her. I guess Chloe didn't stick LOL

Pearl was my grandmothers name. However she would have never let us go near a silky without our tinfoil hat. Just what kinda parent are you? Don't expect me to feel bad if he does bad in school cuz the silkies got to him.

I think I'll start a business selling specially styled tinfoil hats for silky owners.

I could do a nice Bowler for your little boy.

Seriously he's a cute kid.
 
My other bad fall was after college when I was a trainer at a small local barn. I never liked doing it, but I had to train and ride green horses when no one else was around. My mom happened to stop that day to watch for a bit. Bratty colt bucked hard and ducked away so I couldn't catch myself or at least slow the fall, cracked my collar bone. I don't blame the colt, I had started him nicely then another 'trainer' had ruined him with poor techniques. The colt had simply become defensive for his own safety and when I encouraged him to walk on, he retaliated. After that, the farm decided they no longer wanted a trainer. I was crushed and have rode little since. I miss it terribly, that was what I went to college for.
It is what Iwent to college for too! It didn't take me long to figure out there is a lot of work involved with a little pay. Now I work to support my horse habit. Wish i felt this passionate about quilting!!!I would not be so broke!!!
