Here is a not so great picture of the 3 oldest chickens which are 4 months so we think since they are they rescued/adopted by us ones.

Yep that would be Mister, who was Jersey girl until he crowed. Suppose to be hens but you know how that can go sometimes. LOL Yep, ain't life just grand and funny at times. How did we find out it went from Jersey girl to Mister? Simple, dh went out for his morning pipe and heard you guessed it, this kinda quiet crow and then he let er rip.................I laughed so hard when he told me. So he will be a busy boy with 10 hens. Ahhh the wonders of the unexpected.

Like walking out and seeing the starts of your blooms open up. The surprize for me this last weekend was seeing my orange tiger lilies open over night with the heat that we have been having. My pink tipped ones are open today. What beauties they are too. Seeing everything growing so well makes me smile, yep that includes some of those weeds to, but life is like that weeds, dirt, work, and then the beauty comes. I have to remind myself of this as the weeds get plucked out of my life, the dirt gets moved around and the seeds get planted, and then surprize one day parts of your life are in full bloom. No mind you other parts of you are in different parts of the process so there is always something to hope for. Hope, it keeps me going when I don't know if I can take one more step, when I want to give in and up with the pain, I remember that I have friends and family who give me hope when I don't think I have any. They encourage me so I can get back on the road again. To each of you that are my hope, thank you.
