Were you thinking of Dr Who too???







ducks weren't happy- they wanted out to play in the snow....only hawks were out too

Yes, along w/ my extreme hatred of all things winter and snow.

Buster thanks for letting me know. I don't think the girls & I are going to sell at market this yr. They want to sell, but I won't have full clearance from doctors until at least June. Plus my energy levels are very unpredictable right now. DH may try to make the farm auction, if he isn't working.
Taron is looking forward to the Blanchard auction. Don't know what all she is bringing yet, but she sure has been upset missing the past few months.

here y'all.....a very pretty idea for serving colored deviled eggs! So gonna do this too!
http://www.foodjimoto.com/2011/04/easter-eggs.html


and a great idea to make a single serving of cake:

Genius! ----- 1-2-3 Cake. I love this idea!!!
You need two boxes of cake mix. One can be any flavor you prefer, but the other MUST be Angel Food cake mix. Mix them together (shake them in a big bowl). Then simply store the mixture in an airtight container until you get the urge for dessert. Then just put three Tbsp. of the dry mixture in a big coffee mug and stir in 2 Tbsp of water. Microwave it for one minute and you will have a single serving of cake! Top with fruit, ice cream, whipped cream or whatever! Awesome for those of us who want something sweet every now without making an entire cake!!!

What I have learned about La Fleche is that they used to be raised as dual purpose birds, for eggs and for breast meat speciffically. They aren't a heavy bird but have full breasts. If you look at them for their over all shape, except for their unusual "horns", they have a very elegant shape, arching tail, long saddle feathers (males).
Mine have combs more like mioricans because my friend, their breeder, is worried that their blood lines are getting too narrow and has bread some back with miorcans, one of ther origin birds. Here is a pic of the male when he was younger. he now has a longer wattle and much longer tail feathers.
