A Long Week........behind me!

Hello Sweet Friends,

Today I got home from working what seemed like an extra long week. The weather was 45 degrees outside........ so I changed and went back out to take care of my chickens. The first thing I noticed was all the birds...........there were tons of song birds singing in the trees rows. It was like they were all excited.......about spring coming. All the snow has pretty much melted and with it warmer then it has been. They say more snow is coming. I just enjoyed listening to all the birds.........it seems like they have been gone for so long.

Went into the coop to check on the girls. They have been laying 12-14 eggs a day! They are such good girlies.........I am selling the eggs at work......so that is a huge blessing........for me and for the buyers. They love fresh homegrown eggs! Filled their cubby holes with nice straw.......they keep scratching it out. I think if I was a chicken I would want a nice bed of straw.......not them. I fixed them all up anyway. It makes me feel good. The girls that I received last year for my birthday are so big and pretty. Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks are laying a lot of the eggs. My Cuckoo Marans are doing well also. They are the chickens that have very very dark dark brown eggs. They look like chocolate milk color......or maybe even a little darker. I have a male and at least 2 of the 3 females.........I thought the bob cat had killed them......he didn't! Sooo thankful! Can't wait to see an egg.........never seen one before..........one of my blogger friends said I would like. It just felt so good to walk around the farm........it has been to cold so my honey has done all the chores. He has had to work extra hard to get all the work done so the pipes don't freeze and all the animals have water and food. He has had to hand carry most of the water. He is a sweet man........he takes good care..........of us ladies of the house.....so we don't have to go out.

Tay asked if I would talk some pic's of her and Kansas. Love how this one turned out. She is such a pretty little horse!

Oh I have to tell you............. Thursday our boss told us there was going to be some changes in the kitchen. We were all going to get new jackets and we also were going to have to start "ALL" wearing our little black berets. I just about croaked! Ladies......these are the ugliest little hats and I am not the only one that thinks so. They are awful! Beings that I love the Lord and want to be a blessing........so.........I kept my mouth shut. You can't do anything with your hair to make the hats even look halfway cute. Inside I kept thinking..........I don't want to do this! I know the Lord was working on my character.................again! It is a life thing isn't it. I could pretty much do my own thing when we lived home and farmed. Our own boss........you know? Now I have to obey someone else. It truly is good for me to respect authority. The girls look adorable in them. The other bad thing is it makes your head itch. I prayed alot that my attitude would be pleasing. I made it through the day and when I got out the door.........off it went! Felt wonderful...........now I have two days to enjoy....and..............I will! Smiling!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I will be putting up the recipes.........I talked about the other day tomorrow. You will really like them!

No news on Vitaliy.......waiting. Thank you so much for keeping our family and V in your prayers...........you are so precious to us!

Hugs from my farm to your HOME!
