Hi there,

Last week I asked for some help naming our only rooster and you all helped with hundreds of name suggestions.  Well, he has a name and it is Stewie.  I’ve called him Stewie for a few days and he is now looking at me when I say it.   Not sure if it is a look of approval or not, lol.  But he is getting use to it.

Thanks everyone for you help!

HAVE a great day!

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

Hey there,

Check it out, the girls now have a Rooster in their coop.  They don’t realize it, because he is only a few months old.  He is not crowing yet but, there is no mistaking those tail feathers or his size.  He is larger than all of the hens already.  He is a Buff Orpington an quite handsome.

This is a picture of him and Goldie, his hatching momma just a few months ago.  They grow so fast!

I’ve been calling him Buddy because I’ve yet to come up with a name for him.  So, I thought maybe you could help me out.  What do you say?  Can you suggest a name or two?  He will be our one and only rooster so I want it to be a very special name.

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Huge Hugs!

It’s been so hot here lately, which is awful for us but we can escape to air conditioning or sit in front of a fan etc. to cool off.  What about the outside animals/birds.   Well my spoiled girls get ice cold excess veggies to help cool them off.

We sure grow enough veggies to share with the girls.  Today we had excess cucumbers.  I get them good and cold by putting them in the freezer for just a bit.

Then they get to eat those chilly cucumbers under the shade tree.  The chicks seem to enjoy them as well.

So that is what is happening here. . . .

Have a terrific weekend!

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Stampin’ Up! Specials Happening Now!

********************************************************************

Hi All,

Well I’m back from convention.  I had a wonderful time as always, learned a ton, seen a ton of new stuff too.  I’m back with great ideas and I cannot wait to share them with you, but first I must play the catch up game.  So, since I’ve no time to stamp at the moment I thought you would enjoy seeing how Momma Goldie and the chicks are doing.

I found them resting peacefully under a tree this afternoon. The chicks are now a month old.  The little black one is a bit camera shy.  Actually, it’s a bit afraid of the human that is holding the camera, lol.  These chicks will think of me differently since I did not hand raise them like I have all the others. I’ll win them over later with treats, lol.

When I approach them to get some pictures all of nosy girls followed me to see what was up and disturbed their peaceful scene.

I put a little bit of cracked corn down for the girls and the babies got right in the mix trying to get them some too.

They are really getting along well.  Their Momma sees to that!  I have witnessed in horror as one unlucky chicken got a bit too close to one of the chicks and the next thing I know Goldie is standing on the hens back pulling out feathers.  Yep, that only need happen once and everyone gets the idea that she is not playing around.

It is extremely funny that Motherhood brings out such aggression when our offspring are being threatened.  Goldie has always been at the bottom of the pecking order but as a mother she is feared and respected.

I will need to think up names for the chicks but I first want to see if they are Roosters or Hens and that will not happen for about 6 more weeks.

********************************************************************

Before I sign off today, I want to thank each and everyone of my customers and my team.  On awards night at Convention I found out that I made FOUNDER’S CIRCLE for the fifth time, which means I am in the top 100 of the company out of over 40,000 demonstrators.  It blows my mind!  I do know that I couldn’t do it without you!  Thank you for being so loyal my friends.  I love you!

See that big flower in the photo, they were everywhere at convention.  I wanted them but I just could not figure out how to smuggle them out, lol.  They would have been awesome in my office though.  🙂  Darn, I will have to think of a way to make them.

I will be back tomorrow with a fun project after I get a few things caught up and some much needed rest tonight, lol.

May your day be extra special!

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .

Yesterday was so egg-citing, Goldie’s chicks started to hatch.  She has 3 little ones peeping under her.

It’s extremely hard to get photos of the chicks without disturbing the nest.  I was excited when this little one came out from under her momma for a quick photo or two.

It wasn’t long before Goldie went to protect her precious chick by covering her up with her neck.

I was able to spy 2 little yellow chicks and one black one.  There are two eggs left as of this morning.  I’m hoping they hatch for her today.

Momma Goldie is doing a great job.  She taught the chicks to eat and drink already.  I’m trying really hard not to bother them, so photos are rare.  In a few days I will have more opportunity to snap some shots.  🙂
