the light was too good.

monday morning i walked to the bus with annie.
i grabbed scott’s sweatshirt because it was a little chilly.
i walked back to the house and the light was just too good to not go grab my camera.
and the field behind the coop was covered in fog.IMG_9222IMG_9226
our sprinklers had run before the sun came up so that is what all the water drops are from.
the chickens walk around the fence and drink the drops off the wire.

this one weed has been growing strong all summer.
i left it cause it’s pretty.
also lets pretend that is why i left the other entire yard full of weeds…. they are pretty?
yeah that’s it.
it has nothing to do with not wanting to do the work of weeding.
for sure.

our chickens give kisses… or steal snacks.

the black and white lady hides from me as much as she can.
and always looks really ticked when i find her.

then just like that… the fog was gone, the sun was up higher and it was time for another cup of coffee.

i am hoping that this weekend is chicken maintenance weekend.
put up the fence finally…. fix up and clean the coop… put the heater out there for the cold nights coming soon…. all the stuff that hasn’t been done for a long time.
i think they need some bunting and party lights out there too.

Stephanie - Hi there! I am always on the search for the perfect t shirts. I was wondering where I could find your love more t-shirt?

Thanks!

Mindy - The light was beautiful and your sweet girls such good subjects (even the black and white beauty)! I just love your chickens…sigh…

Jenni - Bunting and party lights….I laughed out LOUD at that. you are too cute.

Tanya - Yes, wondering the same thing. Can you keep chickens all winter? Pics are great 😀

Andrea - Meg….your pictures are so beautiful…..I am wondering how you care for your chickens in the cold, cold winter….how do you keep them warm?

Stephanie - How serene and bucolic. I keep telling my husband I am putting chickens in our backyard. But our HOA says no and my husband is a rule follower. Lol. But ducks! Ducks are NOT livestock! I should totally get some ducks.
I love your blog.

Amy - Oh Meg! How I live vicariously through you in the chicken department. One day I will have some girls of my own, but for now I will love yours through your blog. Thanks for sharing. :o)

Mae - In response to the bunting comment above.. you can buy a cheap, colorful vinyl tablecloth and cut diamonds out of it, fold them over waxed twine and use hot glue to glue the triangles together… waterproof bunting that lasts years! 🙂

Jennifer - I love your comment about the black and white lady, she really did give you the sink-eye! And, yes, to party lights and bunting! We winterized our bunny’s hutch last weekend. I wonder if there’s a way to add some tiny bunting to his house??

Chris - I love these pics! And I love it when you blog:)

Ashley - Okay…that one chicken really is giving you the stinkeye!

Angela - For some reason that makes me think of all the hens in the coop on the Foghorn leghorn cartoons which is awesomeness! 🙂

Amy Lynne - Bunting and lights for sure! Lucky ladies!

Julie - I think everyone needs bunting and party lights. Such beautiful photos. You have a lovely life.

Jennifer - Beautiful! And how crazy grown are your kids that you can steal their clothes and fit into them! It feels impossible to me as my two so far are just 21 months and 4 months but it will happen someday. My sons will be big grown men!
