Pretty!

Lacing gets better with age. I had Silver and Gold Laced Wyandottes and they changed over time, hatchery stock though they were. Wish they'd had better genetics. I liked those girls a lot.

These were from papa poultry.

Mattress Report: So far, no more hip pain at all. Very comfortable. Tom even sleeps on it (until the cat realizes he's not in the LR and starts yowling for Daddy )
I like it. Hope it lasts for at least 10 years so I don't have to spend another chunk of change so soon. The nightstand is still on back order, sigh. No rush, I suppose. And I still have the big dresser/mirror/nightstand I'm trying to sell. Need that gone. I'm about to ask if anyone in the family needs it and give it to them.

I'm so glad your mattress is working out well for you. No hip pain is a great thing.

I'm going to lunch with my cousin soon here shortly. Yum.

I really missed my mattress when I was out of town for the weekend, the bed where we stayed was rock hard.

Yay on the mattress!!!!!

On the lacing - I'm told they'll look totally different as adults so I'm looking forward to seeing how the dark ones turn out. I also like the lighter girl the best. Real "yard candy"

And the personalities are so laid back. Depending on how they do for egg production, etc., I may just have to get myself a rooster next year and hatch some kiddos.

Here are 2 photos of silver laced orpingtons. This first one is what I expect the dark girls to look like:

And this is what I expect Lucy (the light girl) to look like:

Working on several projects today. I'm close to burnout on quilt projects, I think. I have this tote in progress, fairly large and deep. Hope I can figure out the instructions the rest of the way on it.

And a simple table runner to coordinate with the Autumn Roosters throw quilt, pieced and ready to baste for quilting.

So nice!
