The Little Webster

I'm proud to say, in less than twenty-four hours after posting this Etsy item (The Little Webster Lilliput Dictionary) it sold rather quickly and I shipped it out the next day!

So good job, pat on the back for me!

Anyways, so Sunday night sucked. We had a "little" mishap that resulted in my rooster being pulverized. I'm so livid over the whole ordeal. Of course, no one else thinks it's a big deal. To me it's a big deal. Sigh. And it happens while I was about ready to make lemon meringue pie... no more lemon meringue pies for the making for a long time.

So a good thing struck out by a bad thing. Sigh. Other than that, I need to do a lot of things, so I'll be busy for a few days!

Gloomy Today...

So this morning we had to wake up early, because the waterline broke... so me and the boyfriend scurried up and out of the house and down to the farm. It was already a gloomy day, so this just made it a little more ... well, gloomy! Cold and tired and we had to be whisked off to do chores earlier than usual! By the time we got to the farm, we found a dead Lakenvelder hen... on the porch... with the dogs. I don't think the dogs killed her, but it was still bothersome! I still think one of those bad dogs killed her, because well 1+1=2 right? lol, well, I'm kidding, but who else is there to blame? The evidence was all there! There's one of the culprit in black and white!

Anyways, I had a quick perk me up! I realized I really should keep account on my daily life now, because there is so much beauty everywhere! While picking up trash around the farm, I came across this little Easter Egg... looked like a bumblebee and it really made me smile! I got to go Easter Egg hunting without even trying! :) Here it is in a bucket of Chicken Treats!

So I head inside and go to grab my favorite old Eskimo jacket... and before putting it on, I look at it. Old, tattered and worn to death with love. Lots of good old memories. A bit sad to see my favorite jacket in such terrible condition, but I do love that thing...

And not more than in a week, the beautiful lilacs were in bud and blooming and are smelling wonderful! I went to a farmer's market and there were so many sprigs in glass jars up for sale! Though I think lilac bushes are a pain in the rear the majority of the year, they are something that I imagine when I think of Kansas :)

Grandma only has gosh... three types? Purple, Magenta (err... pink?), Lilac-Blue Sky and White. But they smell wonderful! :)

And then of course, while I was wandering around the wilderness, I found my flock of Lakenvelders and a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Rooster out hunting for goodness!

I guess lately but not least, the boyfriend was digging up a way for the waterline... and he came across Buffalo bones! I asked how he knew it was buffalo bones and he says it wasn't cow bones, so I'll just believe him :)

Other than that, I had to drive into town to sell baby chicks. All twelve are now in their new home... let the hatching begin again! :)

Boy, it's hard working getting all those darn pictuers up ;) Will post more later!

Turkies? Or Turkeys?

On my way to school, I saw turkeys :) Always nice to see wild critters running around! There were four of them just running about! They went separate ways (two pairs). Well, there are my photos - the black spots in there? Yeah, them are turkeys :)

Buttons!

When I was a child, I use to love to play with buttons. My mother spent a lot of time on her sewing machine and she'd have an abundance of buttons for me to play with... there was a large bucket of them, but now that I think about it, I really never knew what happened to those buttons...

This made me think of those old days :)

ArzuMusa produces these neat buttons... I really like these blue ones! Sparklies! Mainly, I think she works with polymer clay to produce these beauties! :) The only thing I can really do with clay is make small sculptures. Anything bigger... lol not so good!

Anyways, figured I would share. I really like that bangle :) Gotta run again! Just thought I'd share something! :)

Oh My!

It's been such a long time since I've been on here... anyways, Heidi managed to hatch herself some peeps after many terrible hatch rates ;) I told her so. Me on the other hand, still bad luck! lol My French Black Copper Marans and some of her Wheaten Marans! Whee! Fuzzy footies!

BUT I have nine broody hens now... the broody fever has been spread. Running around like insane child trying to figure out what to do. I'm getting nine light sussex chicks from Emily (eminator) and one red sussex chick from her in a few days! Fingers crossed!

By the way, finally sold an item on Etsy! Yay! I was losing home ;) but got a wonderful surprise today! Wee! I'm up to par! I finally realized I've been putting my work behind, need to get off up my butt and DO WORK! So will be back! :)
