What Makes A Dad God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle’s flight, The joy of a morning in […]
Help us name our new Silver Laced Wyandotte Rooster
June 16, 2011 By 17 Comments
After Mr. Puff died from old age I told myself that it would be a long long time before I felt ready to have another rooster in the coop. Telling myself something and actually doing it are two completely different things however. So when I was browsing Craigslist last week and saw a listing for […]
Life with chickens in the coop
June 16, 2011 By 5 Comments
I just thought I’d share a few minutes of chicken owning goodness with you today. Even though I’ve owned chickens off and on for most of my life, is it totally strange that I could still sit outside all day and watch my chickens run around after each other, scratching, clucking, and making us giggle? […]
Weird is Good – Wordless Wednesday
June 14, 2011 By 43 Comments
Just three random photos from Tuesday. This is what’s been keeping me busy and the blog kinda… blogless. Kids. The kids are on summer vacay, which means mom has precious little uninterrupted computer time. I’m either taking pics for Mr.T. being forced to pose for them Or making strange things to wear for Pie. Help! […]

Monday Night Melody – Kiss Me
June 6, 2011 By 3 Comments
Do you absolutely love it when you hear a song on the radio that you haven’t heard in a while? I heard this on the way home from Jazzercise this morning. I turned it up and sang it at the top of my lungs with the dust flying out behind me on our dusty dirt […]
Things of my backyard haven
June 6, 2011 By 3 Comments
In our backyard we have many things. Speckled fluffy silly things clucking cooing, a bit too curious plump and useless wings Things that offer beauty joy and softness petals bursting with good cheer sweetness tempts the buzzing drifting to my ear Things that brood with patience and even warn to stay away Things with whiskers […]
Our Raised Bed Gardens are growing!
June 6, 2011 By 7 Comments
I keep meaning to post updates on how well our raised bed gardens are doing, but by the time I get around to it, they’ve grown again! It’s been almost a month since we filled them with manure, and about three weeks since we started planting the seeds and plants. With the hot humid temperatures […]
Wordless Wednesday – Pesky Chickens
May 31, 2011 By 31 Comments
Four of these shots show chickens where they do not belong. Only one is where it should be. Can you guess who will be having a picnic table ownership war this summer? p.s. They’ve never had a fascination with the picnic table before! I think it has to do with Mr.Puff {r.i.p.} not being […]
Monday Morning Melody – God Bless The U.S.A.
May 30, 2011 By 2 Comments
Today is a very special Monday, Memorial Day. A day that we should remind our selves that we truly do not need just one day to be thankful for all of the men and women who have fought, and are still fighting, to protect our freedom in America. We should be thankful every day! Just […]
Clouds of May 26th
May 27, 2011 By 1 Comment
While I was a little bit too freaked out and panicking to even think about photos before the storm, here are just a few of the awesome clouds that lingered and floated past from 5 – 7 pm yesterday. Wow! I don’t know if I’ve seen clouds like these, so huge and simply stunning.
Severe weather in Pennsylvania last night
May 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Maybe it’s because our small town was devastated by a tornado twenty six years ago this week, but I am deathly afraid of thunderstorms. Panic stricken afraid, in other words… I freak. Why? I’m not sure. I was only six years old when the 1985 tornado took out half of our town, and barely remember […]
