Friday Afternoon

Lemonblossom

My lemon trees are full of blossoms and lemons this year. We've been lemonless for years. I'm really looking forward to picking a few to make lemon bars or maybe lemon chicken or lemon shrimp stir fry or lemon sorbet….

If you look closely in the background of the photo above you will see the gleaming copper plated cupola of our chicken palace. Weather permitting I'm going to take photos for you this weekend to share on Monday.

Bella has been getting used to our newest family members. She plays very well with others. I'm wondering if the chickens will think they are a dog or if my dog will become more chicken like?

I have a feeling that Bella will make a good mother hen. For now she's getting used to their scent and can be seen sniffing their behinds practically all day long. I guess she'll know who's who before long.

When I post the coop photos I will try to answer all your questions. I've been getting lots of emails about chickens and although I'm hardly an expert by any means I will do my best to share what I have learned about them and how we built the coop.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone! I hope it's sunny and bright wherever you are. 

PS. Jewelry Giveaway winner announced at the bottom of this post. Congratulations!

Library Table

To say I have an obsession with books would be an understatement. I'm not going to bother trying to be cured. I feel it's a healthy vice.…
