Sorry Penny, I hate that when that happens and you don't know why.

I have a Buff O hen that is just skin and bones right now. She is lively, not laying. Not molting which is strange in itself because they are all raggedy right now. Eating well but she is one of Marek's survivors and almost 5 so I'm suspecting reproductive tumors of some sort. I keep expecting to find Sunshine dead every morning when I go out but the little ever ready bunny just runs out of the coop to greet me and swipe the bread bag out of my hand. Don't know what's keeping her going besides an amazing desire to live.

SGC that wall hanging has to be up there as one of my favorites. Just beautiful. It should 'lint' outside more often. It seems to have inspired you to even more greatness.

Chickens are really good at hiding that there's an illness until it's too late.

Sorry it happened. I've had really terrible luck with leghorns, but i keep trying.

I have found the Production white leghorns to like to die, especially right after the first laying cycle.

My breeder leghorns are good robust long lived birds.

There is a lot of lint outside. I am really displeased with the weather this week, it is too early for this.


Finished binding this small wall hanging today.

That's exactly it. The good die young. I really like them, though, so I'll keep trying.

Got BF's mom's surprise throw quilt back from the longarmer on Thursday and finished getting it bound today too (nothing like a snow day to motivate me to get some stuff done). She had asked for a quilt for the youngest grandbaby out of what was left of the shirts (after I made the memory pillows out of them). I was able to measure and cut carefully enough to use a specific block design and also get a throw size quilt for her. The baby quilt is still at the longarmer. Not sure if I'm going to give this to her tomorrow when we go over or wait for it all to be done. Probably wait so she only has to get emotional once. It's very warm and snuggly.

Also got the last coat of duck house paint on, made 2 loaves of bread and 24 pumpkin muffins along with a pumpkin bread loaf.

Off to bed!

(Sorry for all the quilt photos, y'all).
