  • Pumpkin patch

    A fun day today! My good friend set up for a bunch of us to go to the pumpkin patch! The kids had a blast they loved the animals and picking out pumpkins. We even did two corn mazes one was small the corn husks only came up to my hip that’s my kinda corn maze. The other corn maze was normal size corn husks. A few years ago I got lost in a corn maze for about two hours I had visions of my tombstone saying..if only she took that second left she would of made it out of the maze. My kids had made fun of me for getting lost … I had sworn that I wouldn’t ever go into another maze unless I had flares and spray paint! Today when my kids all wanted to go into the big maze my first thought was.. at least this time I have my best friends going in this maze with their families. Now we can all be lost together and maybe we can get a deal on tombstones! Ha ha.

    Needless to say we all made it out and had fun … do I ever want to go back into a corn maze… well we will see how brave I am next Halloween!

  • Flamingos

    One of my best friends painted me some flamingos! I’m absolutely in love with it and I can’t thank her enough for thinking of me!

    Now I need to find a place to hang it! I’m thinking I’ll use her idea and get a frame for it. #sheknowshowmuchIloveflamingos #flamingos #hobby #backyarding #bestfriends #lovemybestfriend #pink #sheissotalented #shealsocrochetsawsomestuff #thankyouforthinkingofme

  • Egg cartons

    I’m super excited that my quail egg cartons came! This evening I got my labels out on them. I’m glad I listened to one of my good friends and I printed the labels!

    I also got my chicken egg cartons in a while ago. Now I have my new labels on them.

    I still am in love with my pink egg cartons. I don’t think I’ll change from them anytime soon. #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #chook #chickens #quail #eggs #pink #food #imcrazyformyeggcartons #lovemyname #somewomenloveshoesiloveeggcartons #pleasefollow #pleaseshare #thanksforreading #cleareggcartons

  • Pumpkin fun

    It’s that time of the year when everything is pumpkin themed! My girls (chickens) get their share of pumpkin fun too. Thankfully they really don’t care on presentation of their pumpkins. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€ pumpkin is cool it’s a natural worm preventative but not a cure.

  • Chicks

    My quail chicks are one week old today! I’m loving their personality in this batch. They are acting just like chickens very interested in the camera among other things. 🀣🀣

    Iam also loving the stare down this one chick likes to give.

    My kids are loving this little one. Its markings are really neat! #hobby #backyarding #quail #cuteandsmall #coturnix #pleaseshare #pleasefollow #thankyou #oneweekold

  • Knitting

    It’s getting chilly here where I live. Soon it will be time for a scarfs, coats, gloves..and everything else that you need to keep yourself warm. One of my best friendsπŸ–€ gave me a lot of yarn. I’m in love with all the colors she gave me but this brown and blue one I just can’t get over it! It is my absolute favorite out of all the yarn colors. I decided to make a scarf with it.

    Now I just have to make sure to work on it along with my other twenty million craft projects I have going on. My other best friendπŸ–€ gave me some fabric! I’m excited to find some matching themes to go with the colors she gave me. Sadly I haven’t gotten to the craft store yet to look at fabric but it’s on my to do list! #hobby #backyarding #crafts #knitting #gettingcoldsoon #wouldratherbecoldthansuperhot #lovethesecolors #thankyoutomybestfriendsforgivingmetheseawesomestuff #pleaseshare #thanksforreading #pleasefollow

  • New line!

    My new line of quail chicks have hatched! They are looking great and I’m excited to see these ones grow out. If I’m lucky they will have the celadon gene! They will lay blueish/greenish eggs if they have this gene!

  • Love my girl

    This morning I spent sometime with my girls ( chcikens) they had some kale and mealworms. Yum! I also took apart their feeders for some good cleaning!

    Wakita is one of my favorites and she takes really good selfies 🀣🀣🀣. I also took a few photos of my eggs.

    Love doing photos with the pumpkins! #fall #hobby #backyarding #mygirls #pleaseshare #thanksforreading #chickens #chook #food #quail #eggs #pleasefollow #ayamcemani

  • Changes of life

    Just like the seasons we also have change! Change happens in many ways. Maybe you got married, maybe you got a new job, or maybe you got a chimpanzee… some changes are good and some can be bad. It’s how you handle them that makes you who you are. #whohasachimpanzee #idonthaveachimpanzee #changes #letatakethechangeandfindthegoodinit #pleaseshare #thanksforreading

  • Large quail egg

    One of my quail girls laid a nice large egg! You can see the difference in the size. It’s not the size of a bantam egg, but you can see in the second photo that its almost as far as in height but not in width.
