Happy Valentines Day!

 

 

Happy Valentines Day everyone!  I would like to think that I am going to get a cake like this tomorrow, but I really doubt it.  I hope you are more fortunate than I am. 

Some of us like chocolate, some of us like any thing that is sweet and gooey.  Others prefer a bouquet of our favorite flowers.  Right now, I am trying to lose weight so it is better to just keep going for my walks and think about being slimmer.

I have clothes in my closet that I can’t wear and my goal is to get down enough so I can at least feel comfortable in them. 

I would like to hear from you out there what you received for Valentines Day!  Just make me drool with envy!   Please write to me about your day. 

AND----HAPPY CHOC0LATE SURFING! 

Anyone Up For A Ride?

 

We were cleaning out the coop of my 22 hens the other day and filling the feeder when to my surprise I turned around and two of my hens were in the wheelbarrow and trying to coach some other chickens to hop in and go for a ride.  My Orpington (in the foreground) is usually the last to be convinced to try anything new.  Before it was over, there were five of them in the wheelbarrow waiting to catch a ride. 

They were a little skittish at first but eventually thought it was the greatest thing since lettuce.

Every time they see the wheelbarrow now they get all excited and jump in, making those cluck cluck sounds to each other.  Chickens are not boring creatures, they are a lot of fun. 

Since we have had snow again I have not been working in the greenhouse.  I have started to walk a mile up and down the driveway five times just to keep my energy level up and the blood flowing.  I have resolved to do this everyday because it gives me strength in my legs(we have quite an incline). 

I do have lettuce growing but I brought it in the kitchen so it won’t freeze.   My chickens will love me for that.  Spring is coming!
