A feather post....(Get it?)

Yesterday I found a very nice feather and matched it with a nice black post. It is either Charles's or Jasper's feather-I don't know which. Anyway, I found it to be quite photogenic. Who would have thought, a feather...

Yes, five pictures of a feather. I am so weird sometimes.

Wow, Eagle Hawk-eye...

Eagle Hawk-eye is one of the chickens we adopted. She doesn't like being around people, or at least around us. However, today she stayed in the coop when I came in. I had the oppurtunity to take a few pictures. Here they are! A trip to the feed....

This is one of J.K. She just felt like posing...

Michelango's Monalisa....a bit different....

Ok, this is random, but I just did this photoshop...

Chickens coming soon....

New chickens on the block

Chickens may not be as popular as cats or dogs, but they are gaining prominence! I know this because one of our neighbors is getting chickens this Spring. Tif and her family came over on Sunday and asked Em and I all about our experiences with raising chickens. Not that they needed much help, Tif was well versed in chicken terminology and knew quite as much as I did. I think they just needed a real-life example to make sure all the books were up to scratch. We really enjoyed our time with them, and the chickens are excited to have some feathered friends on the block!

I have this picture of Lemony here because Speckled Sussex is one of the breeds Tif and her family hopes to get. Lemony is a bit of an oddball in her breed because none of the Sussex characteristics describe her very well. I am interested to see how Tif's Sussex's compare with Lemony

Inspiration comes from anywhere(even chicken feet!)

J.K. got hold of my jeans again. Thank goodness her feet were clean. You know there are chickens that have feathers on their feet? Yes, and they are very hard to take care of because dirt and mud get stuck in the mass of feathers. Click here to see one. Yes, I take such random pictures, but for real inspiration, go to the bottom of this post.

I looked up "foot" just for fun on the quotations page and found a few thought provoking quotes. Here are a few:

"One who walks in anothers tracks leaves no fooprints"-Proverb

"A slip of the foot and you may soon recover, a slip of the tongue you may never get over"-Benjamin Franklin

"I don't look around 7-foot bars to jump over, I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over"-Warren Buffet

Just a bit of foot inspiration for you!

Auracauna Awesomeness

Here is a few pictures of our Auracaunas-J.K. and Pearl. They are forty percent of the Auracauna population we have on this farm(5). J.K. layed an egg with just the membrane in it. Someones not getting enough protein. tut tut. J.K. was feeling quite social today and was jumping and flapping all over me, so it was no problem to take this shot.

Pearl is laying an egg in this photo, and she isn't too pleased I came in to interrupt. She doesn't look too angry though. Thanks for reading!

Getting Advanced~

You may have noticed that this week I haven't been posting too much(except today where I posted a lot for last week:). It has been a busy week, and when I have been able to get on the computer I tryed out some new stuff with my template. I successfully made a three-column template and made a signature for my posts. Both of which, took me quite awhile. Now I feel quite smart! I really shouldn't since I have seen quite a few blogs with three columns, but oh well! Now I will get back to posting daily. Thank you for reading my blog!
