Ahhhhh YES!

Didn't need tog o to far for this one...just 6 doors up the street.  I love having to go out after dark.  That's a great time to pick.  But if there is one thing I have learned...if you see it and you know you can do something with it...take it on the spot.  Don't wait until you make the return trip because someone else will beat you to it.  This watering can is to add to Mark's collection.

New Feeder

I was thinking the other day that I haven't seen many Blue Jays in the yard lately.  Well couldn't be that we haven't been feeding them.  While looking for my seeds I found the chicken feeder from when the girls were small.  Then that night, a very late night, I found this on Pinterest.  So I have my camera ready!

Perking Thing Up A Bit

Pickin' has been a little slim.  I think because of the weather.  The other night I missed a good pick when I decided to drop Michael off at scouts and then swing back by after.  I hate when that happens.  Lesson learned...strike while the iron is hot.

 

Picked up this old ladder last summer and have been using it for the chickens to learn to climb on.  They never seemed interested so we hung it on the fence.  Mark has been collecting watering cans.  And I collect anything that is galvanized.  We combined the two.  Once the weather is nicer we will plant something that vines in the minnow bucket so it can wrap around everything.  The watering cans will serve two purposes...decoration and water gathering when it rains.  I plan to use the water that is caught on the flowers on the fence in that area.

I get more comments on the boots that anything I this shot.  Great way to clean them after being on the farm.  I have decided that all of the galvanized buckets and tubs will be planted this year with herbs and flowers that will benefit the chickens.  They will look and smell great and save me a little money in the long run!  I think it is a win-win all around.

This will be the only kind of rooster I will ever have...one that doesn't make any noise.
