Cott cott !

In my previous post, i talked to you about my chicken coop. Some of you asked to see them, so may i present you my  three ladies. Alice is the black colored hen, not very friendly, but then, maybe she is just a little shy.The brown ones are the twins, Gwen and Barbara. Please, do not ask me who is who, they look so much the same, i could not tell who is Barb and who is Gwen.. Maybe i should make a little different scarf for each of them ? It crossed my mind once, but i am not sure they would appreciate the idea.. Now, you must be wondering who is that little yellow ducky. If you have a little moment, then sit and read the little story.

 Little ducky is a school project and Andrea of faded plains asked me if i was interested to greet little ducky and introduce him to new friends. The idea of the school project is for the ducky to travel to different places around the globe. All we need to do is write a little note of what he did while he was visiting , include a coin of our country and send ducky back to Andrea or to someone else who wants to have him home. The most important thing is that he must return to the US before may 1st. If you need to know more  about this fun project, please, do contact me and i can give  further details. Little ducky enjoyed his stay here, but he is already eager to travel to a new place. Anyone interested ?  It can be anywhere around the globe except to the US ( sorry US readers. )

 Barbara and Gwen were prety curious to see this little fellow stranger wandering in their coop and inspecting the freshly laid eggs. Alice did not mind him at all. Having chickens around is not much trouble. All you need to do is keep their coop clean and make sure they have fresh water and food at all times.I give them grains and leftover greens, even bits of bread.  Every morning , they hear me come and wait impatiently at the door to see if i have something for them. They love it when i bring little surprises.

Well, that's it for today my lovelies. I wish i had more to tell you, but i am fighting a very bad chest  cold and i need to lay down a bit. I hate feeling so sick, there is so much i need to do, but i am lacking the energy.  I hope i will be feeling a little better tomorrow.

Wishing you a most happy and wonderful week ♥

Boring or not boring ?

Every morning, that is, when i am home alone. ( tuesday to friday hubby is at work ) i like to sit in front of the computer with my hot cup of comforting coffee. I check my messages, email back to etsy customers, look at some lovely blogs and if i feel inspired, will post a message in my own blog.  I realize i haven't done this for at least 2 weeks...Or is it more than 2 weeks ? I have come, i have looked at the blank page of the new message section , i meant to post something, But it seems i have nothing to say...Is my life so boring ? I must admit i spend most of my days at home, working in my studio until hubby returns from work. Other than sewing, i make the laundry, vaccum, wash the dishes, cook dinner, learn to crochet, knit, run to my daughter who lives right behind my house, give a hug to baby Jacob while Molly, the boxer doggie, is begging for me to hug her too.... Oh and i feed the hens in my chicken coop. Hubby and i built a little shed last fall ( did i mention this before ? ) with the main idea to have a few hens. ( or do we say chicken ? ) Hubby was so excited, he could not wait until spring and came home one day with 2 brown hens. Daughter Anne decided to name them Barbara and Gwendolyn. Very curious ladies. And then a couple of months later, a friend gave him a black hen. Daughter Anne decided this would be Alice. Unlike the other two,she is not the friendly type. And she has not begun laying eggs. I told hubby she may be too young, we have to be patient. The weather is milder and snow is melting. I have opened their coop for them to wander outside in their own closed little yard. They love being outdoors . I guess they too were feeling depressed with this never ending winter. The starlings have arrived and this is the very first positive sign that winter is behind us already. There is still a lot of snow, but i can see little patches of grass here and there. I made a bet with hubby that on march 31st, we will be able to set up the garden chairs on the terrace. I hope i am right, otherwise i will have to sneek outside and shovel. o_o     No, no , enough of that shoveling. I want to dig and play in the flowers. I planted a few dadoffils bulbs a friend gave me and i am eager to see what they will look like this spring. Unless the squirrels digged them out, i am hoping i may see a few flowers. I promise myself to plant tulips next fall. I used to have a lovely patch of pastel colored tulips in my former home and it was very lovely. We have been in our new house for almost 3 years now. Creating new bed flowers take time...Funny, i came here this morning because i felt in the mood  to post  some of my etsy favorites. After all, i managed to write something that doesn't appear too boring. Or so i hope. I have to go now, daughter Maude and i are going to do some shopping. Hubby's birthday is this sunday and i need to get a few little things. 
Hope your week is lovely ♥
