Having fun in the fog

Theres really not to much to say about these pics except I enjoy going out in the fog.  My mom on the other hand gets clauserforbic 

We have been having alot of fog lately. So I felt it was only right to share it with the world

my gals

It is a beautiful day out today even if it is freezing.  But I thought I would take this lovely sunshine to introduce you to my girls.  That's eleven funny and fantastic hens.

 This is Blondie.  Yes I know she's a red head but when she was a chick she was a very fluffy yellow

This Is Brownie.  She is a brown leghorn.  brown leghorn = crazy, fast hen.

You will not catch her, she does not like you and never ever will.  There is no fence or cage built that can hold her.  (she may have super powers)

This is Buffy, she is an overall nice quiet gal

This is Dory she is one of my small hens I have three. They lay little small eggs and usually stick together

The speckled one on the right is Penny.  She is one of my special hens I adopted from a friend.  She walks funny and falls over all the time.  My friend he she and her sister were squished in shipping and they are both alittle off

This is Frizzle.  She is another small chicken and also my favorite 

Iggy, she will try to have attitude and peck you but if you have an attitude back she will bow down and allow you to pet her,  you just have to earn the right to do it

Little Momma. my smallest hen. She has the sweetest little chirps and likes to hide in my mint plants to lay her eggs. Coincidentally she always smells minty

Omlet.  She is my chocolate egger and lays the most beautiful dark brown eggs.

A close up of Penny's feathers they are soooooo pretty in the sunshine!

Trudy  she is my other special chicken. She walks with a limp so she stomps around and I think she has vision problems but she is a good girl

Zoey is my oldest hen at 7 years old.  She is a wonderful hen and my forever pet!  Even when she does stop laying someday.  Of coarse all my hens have a forever home.  But I have a special place in my heart for her.

It's cold and wet!

OK I know it's cold and wet, Duh right?  But it is also a really beautiful time of the year if you can out and go hiking in it.  Here are some pics I have gotten recently

This one is awesome I love the shapes that are in the ice.   It was a total find!

And this one just shows what a determined little butt I can be.  If you can tell it was pouring rain and cold and I was still out there!  But it just shows that there are some nice pictures that can happen because of the rotten weather.

A strange day

Hi again I hope everyone had a good new years.   Ours was loud,  I swear every year there are more and more fireworks. Anyways on to the pictures Sorry the one below is turned wrong I swear I can not find anything on this website to turn a photo.  Ok so did you guess what it is?............It's a baby opossum!  11 of them to be exact.  How did I come to have 11 baby opossums in my house you ask? 

Well every day I walk my dog.  We usually get up before the sun is sup to do a walk often up to the Starbucks because well it is frigid outside this time of year.  Anyways back to my story.  So we were walking along and I see a dead opossum on the side of the road. "yuck" but no real big surprise because we see them all the time.  But as I am passing I look down and what do I see but it's stomach is wiggling all over like something from a creepy horror movie.  Then I remember that opossums have a pouch much like a kangaroo    and so we are about a mile from home now.  So I turn around and take Joey on an impressive fast walk home where I come running in to get the cat carrier and a towel.  At this point my husband is up and looks at me a little funny.  So I tell him what I saw, and dash out the door into the car and back to the opossum.  Well needless to say there were in fact 11 little babies in there.  I brought them home and put a heating pad under the blanket.  My wonderful husband didn't even bat an eye.  I guess after 14 years of marriage he knows what I am like.  I then spent the next few hours trying to find a wildlife rehab place to take them. It turns out that 11 is alot!  mot only would take a few.  But eventually I did find someone and drove the hour and a half to get to her place where she had all sorts of animals and opossums of all different ages.  My daughter of coarse loved this whole experience and tried to convince me to keep one (not gonna happen)  I am willing to rescue them but I don't want one as a pet. But we did get a couple of nice photos to remember this strange little memory.

Fun with frost

Well I hope all had a good Christmas.  It's been rather hectic here.  Not to much today so I thought I better get online and say hi!  Here are a few fun pics I have taken over the past week this is the frost on the inside of my green house windows.

I have to admit I have been looking forward to seeing what is out there every morning.  I go out first thing after feeding the dogs.  I head out to feed the Chickens or my gals as I call them. And I happen to store their feed in my greenhouse.

As you can tell I have been getting quite a show.  This one was my favorite I really liked.  I was kind of sad when it melted.  Anyways stay warm and dry and have a Happy New Years.  In case I dont make it back on here before then!

Hiking with the dog

The other morning I took my middle child and the dog for a hike down by the river.  I think my dog is getting to old for this.  He did not enjoy climbing down the steep hill to get to the water nor did he enjoy the docks because they were frozen and he slide down one about 15 feet before I caught him.  Then he didn't want to continue on.  He is 11 yrs old now and I don't think he likes these kind of trips anymore.  He prefers the flat ground and no slipping kinds of walks.

He tried to keep his spirits up but it didn't fool me most of the time he looked like he'd rather be anywhere else doing just about anything else. except when I take his picture cause I call his name and he thinks he might be getting a cookie

The scenery was great though and although it was cold, there was no breeze so it was enjoyable

I have a thing for these wood things, I don't really know what they are but I love taking pictures of them.

Well I probably wont be on again until after Christmas, so happy holidays........

Saturday morning

 This last Saturday I decided I needed to get out and brave the cold weather.  What these pics don't show is that it is 24 degrees out and windy

But it was totally worth it.  I love watching the sun rise, and I love watching the sunrise on the water.

That being said by the time I was done my poor little fingers were bright red and so stiff I could hardly click the button to take pictures.  I know my won fault I should have brought gloves.  But it really was a spur of the moment kind of thing,  I ran out of the house and headed to the river to get these photos before the sun came up.

This one was my favorite,  I don't know exactly what it is but it speaks to me........

There was also alot of fog that kept rolling through so I had to wait to take pics.
