Oh! What ya got cookin??? Colors?
Hope it's a good hatch for you.)

Thanks Maggie In the bator I have black x paint, lavender x porcelain/buff from a friend and my guys giving me blue, black, splash. I have 3 white hens in there with them so getting this lighter splash which isn't correct but I love the coloring. As soon as it gets a little more warmer I'm building another coop/run for another project I'm thinking about

Thnx, I really want to sign up but am afraid that I will never sew all the blocks together and will end up with yet another "UFO" (unfinished object). lol

He gets all his sprouting seed from this place called The Sprout House.a number of varieties. Has at least 5 types going in different stages at any one time.
Hot mixtures - arugula, brown mustard ,radish
Another one has red cabbage,broccoli,mustard,
One with large seeds like garbanzo beans,peas,lentils,sunflower

Good morning peoples!

It is 8am and my girls are singin their "egg song". Geez they sure are loud. I am hoping the new layers calm it down some when it's time to open up the windows come warmer weather.

Today we are suppopsed to have a heat wave. 45 and sunny!

Laundry is working, dishes getting washed and I hope to get outside for a bit. Re-thinking my garden and what veggies I'll plant this year and how to keep the girls out of them. I think a lot of different types squashes. I love frying up their beautiful flowers...yum! And the winter types sure do store well.

Carol i went to the sprout site and got the bug. I'll be sprouting soon. Been too long..........good idea and it benefits us and the critters.

Heather I visited that mountain herb place's catalog to look at the teas etc. that u had reccomended a while back. Nice!

Got my seed catalog out for ordering and getting planting ideas for the hummingbirds.


Now to gather my gear and make our grand baby a sock monkey the old fashioned way. The pattern and socks have been sitting here looking at me for months.

I hope everyone has a productive day!

OMG I haven't been feeling well, and I log on.
Carolyn, THANK YOU so much for the info. I will try to get him an e-mail as soon as.....

Hubby is in school for the next few days, I had ideas of cleaning up the house a little.
Don't know how much the garbage man will appreciate it on Thursday morning, though.
I have bags of poopie litter from all the chicks in the house.
I usually bring it to the compost bins. But with all the snow piles all over the place, I haven't put a priority on shoveling paths to them.
So I have bags of poopie. Yippee. I can't even make it to my garden yet, so I've been saving it for a special occasion.
I think they call it Spring. Or Summer....

And now the ice log jam is backing up onto my front door. Need 6" gutters, so this morning when the doorbell rang, there was nobody there.
An icicle rang the bell. If I don't keep up on the melting, it will flood my downstairs pantry.
Another yippee.

Anyone have any gutter people connections?
At least the totes that I use as brooders can catch the water, and I can go out every few and check/ dump them.
Yippee.

Now to compose a nice letter to the man at the post office.

Your girls are welcome for as long as you need, please don't think they are in the way. they are so sweet.
I need a nap.
