This is what trees look like after a morning of frozen fog.

That's really beautiful.

That is beautiful! We're having inches of rain and it's about 35 degrees.

Fellow carb-lovers (sorry, Arielle)... I just made these:

I baked these tonight and served them with Them with Three Bean Chili. My DW had 4 of them! I skipped the topping--The did not need it!

Looks serene.

I'm gonna get a girl silkie! I'm gonna get a girl silkie! I pick her up this Saturday. She's already laying, too.

Her name is "Sparkle.". She's all white.

Okay, back to pretending to be a mature woman again.

Now Linda, why would you want to be a responsible adult?

Nothing wrong with doing a little happy dance over a new chicken

I'm jealous!

Linda I think you need more. I have a trio with a pretty quiet roo.

Did somebody leak the information I was driving to Livermore to pick up this silkie?!?!? Still a bit closer than Modesto, though.

Kim, you may remember the time I said I would never get a "poodle of the chicken world.". Silkies. Bah. Oh, who's a cutesy wootsie wittle fluffy silly bird?!?!

I do have a silkie roo though and NO way is he quiet! Since I'm keeping him, it's imperative I divest myself of newly crowing cockerels to stay under my agreed-upon Two Rooster Limit. Of course, I'm really keeping four carefully selected roosters.... One is in the house. Another Never Gonna Get One of THOSE breeds: a LF WCB Polish.

My how things change!

My recommendation for folks who wouldn't possibly want to keep a silkie is to never, ever, EVER see one live, in person in a flock. Photos do not show how freakin' cute they are when actively puttering around in their chinese pantaloons with the rest of the flock.

As a former silkie-hater, I can say now I was wrong.
