Breakfast for Hens


These two beauties are out of their coop at first light, foraging for tasty snacks.




It's funny how each of our six hens has their own personality.  Two are early risers while the others prefer to hit the snooze button, especially on these chilly winter mornings.


Even though the large feeder in their warm, dry hen house is filled daily, all the ladies enjoy scratching and checking our entire back yard for any treats they might find.

 

They provide fresh eggs daily as well as all-natural insect control!

What's happening in your back yard?

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!

Participating in craft challenges is just that.  A challenge!  I love how each one helps me think in different ways and pulls me out of any ruts I might be experiencing.  This one is all about sustainability.  For me that means:  Minimize purchases.  Upcycle wherever possible.  This time, I even grew something from seed!
