chickens,chickens,chickens

When I moved in this house I said I would not have chickens in
my kitchen. Well I was wrong, like they say" You can take the girl
out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl."
Here are just a few of my chickens. I do love some chickens. LOL
Click on the picture to enlarge and you can see the chicks up close
and personal. Don't look too close you could see some dust.

Nice Surprise

I have no clue what this little plant is. I bought it
this summer from Lowes and now it has these pretty
little red flowers on it. I wonder if it can take the cold.

I spy seven butterflies

The butterflies love my Texas sunflowers. I counted at least
seven in this picture. They were covered today and the kids
were having a grand ole time catching them and letting them go.

Pilot Mountain

This is a view that I grew up with. That's Pilot Mountain off in the distance. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the mountain from my mom's house. When the kids were little we took them up there, and they walked around the knob. The photo was taken about 1/2 mile up the road from my mom's house. If it weren't for the trees in the backyard, you could see it from the hill that my family lives on. Too bad the leaves weren't at peak this weekend. It would have been perfect.

My Sweethearts

RILEY AND HAYDEN ON A DEER HUNT.

BAILEY, HAYDEN AND RILEY SITTING IN THE FLOWER BED. TIME FOR FALL PLANTING, I GUESS IT WILL BE PANSIES.

BAILEY(afraid of the Lucky duck) RILEY AND HAYDEN (torturing
Lucky duck).

THEY HAD SO MUCH FUN THIS AFTERNOON.
I AM SO GLAD THEY LIVE CLOSE SO THEY CAN

PLAY TOGETHER EVERYDAY.

This is a picture my sister gave me one Easter when she came down for a visit. She stoped at a yard sale (runs in the family) on her way here. I love it because it reminds me of my favorite aunt's home place. My aunt Eva is now in a nursing home doing well. Several of my customers have shown interest in the picture. One of my customers even called me one morning and ask me if I sold it to her or did she dream that I did. It is too special to me, to sale. It has been hanging in my shop for about twenty years now . Wish I knew what it is called, or something about it. I have tried to find it on the Internet, but no luck. It is signed but I can't make out the name of the artist.

For The Birds

Riley wanted me to make a picture of his bird feeder he made in Sunday School yesterday.
Miss Cindy this post is for you and Miss Bonnie. Riley dearly loves you both. Thanks for all you
are doing to teach Riley and Bailey about Jesus and his love. Hayden was watching while Riley
put some seed in his feeder. They are such good buddies.
