Is it a Rooster or Hen?
Is it a rooster or a hen? This is a common question you get if you raise chickens. When I hatched chicks, I have used the wing length method. Hens’ wing feathers will be two different lengths and a roosters will all be the same length. This has to been done soon after they hatch. […]
My news chicks….
One of my daughters friends (and one of my “adoptive” girls), came to visit me Sunday. She had asked me if I wanted any more chickens. I told her I would love to have some silkies and if she had any. Well….she brought me 22 silkies…..along with some d’uccles, cochins, seabrights, […]

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day
When I pulled into my driveway this afternoon, I could see the sun shining between the dark clouds and loved the way it lit up my blue chair. I ran into the house and grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. It was nice to see the sunshine since I had spent […]
Homesteading On One Acre
I ran across this article on homesteading on one acre in the new Mother Earth News. I sit staring at it trying to decided how much of the plan is actually feasible for me. I love to plant and harvest my fruit and vegetables every year and I love canning, freezing, and drying those fruits and […]
Saying Goodbye to My Friend
As you can see by the photos, this was my buddy. He met me everyday when I came home from work. I would pull into the driveway and he would be there waiting for me to pick him up. Now when I pull into the driveway, there is no one there to greet me. My […]
Square Foot Garden is a huge success this year !
This is my fourth year to have this little square foot garden. The first year I had cucumbers by the middle of May but the last two years were hot and dry and my little garden did okay but nothing to brag about. This year has been a different story. I decided to add a […]
Flowers from the Garden
The roses are in full bloom now and are absolutely beautiful. Yellow roses are always my favorite to photograph. The white peonies were the first to bloom and all of the plants are loaded. This is first pink peony to bloom. Related
Spring Flowers are blooming on the farm.
It’s spring on the farm again and that means green grass, baby chicks, newborn calves, and beautiful flowers. Here are some of the pictures I took yesterday. Hope you enjoy them. Related
New Baby Chicks
I can always tell it’s spring on the farm, not by the new leaves on the trees, or the first green grass, and not even by the blooming of the daffodils. No, I can tell by the sound of baby chicks hatching. Here are some pictures of the new baby chicks and I have more […]
Patriotic Picnic
I thought I would post these pictures or our 2012 Memorial Day Picnic. This would also work for the 4th of July if you need inspiration for a quick and easy picnic ideas. We kept it simple with fresh fruit kabobs with dip, cupcakes, and fresh made pimento cheese sandwiches. My sister made these adorable […]
July 4th Picnic on a Budget
My sister and I have always managed to find adventure in everyday life. We have been know to take last minute road trips to the beach (an 8 hour drive), whip up some fabulous food creations, and drive up and down back roads taking pictures of old churches. It has been like this since we […]
Spring
It Spring! Unfortunatly it’s cold and rainy here so I decided to post some photos that I took a couple of years ago. Hopefully it will wash away some of this pollen.

My Chickens Introduction to Snow….
Most of my chickens have never seen snow. First of all, we don’t get much snow here in southwest Arkansas and second, most are chickens that I have hatched or purchased this year. We received snow on Christmas day and I was excited the next morning to introduce my chickens to it and see their […]
From Tropical to Winter
I come back from my Caribbean vacation to this. Yep, it has snowed in southern Arkansas. It’s rare that we have snow, especially on Christmas day. In a few days time I had the opportunity to see both spectrums of God’s creation and I have to say that they are both exquisitely beautiful in their […]
