Getting some nice 8's out of my BCM's recently!

Making egg noodles today with my extra eggs. What your favorite thing to do with your extra cackle berries?

My current project. I'm literally making it up as I go.

I'm debating about writing it all down. It would be the first knitting pattern I've ever written.

These are for my (almost) 7 year old. I started them a while ago & if I don't finish them soon, her feet will be too big! So, wabi-sabi is the name of the game. Imperfect but finished is the goal.

For reference, the lighter colored egg is a Large. The minimum weight to qualify as a Jumbo chicken egg is 2.5oz. these weigh in at 3.05oz, 3.25oz, and 3.35oz. that poor chicken. Ouch!🫣

You guys . . . this little dude . . . He watched me doing chores in the coop for a good five minutes before I finally noticed him. And, yes, that's egg yolk all over his face 🤦. He took a ride in a net and found a new home a few miles away.

My husband thinks opossums are "just about the ugliest mammals alive." What do you think? Personally, I would happily snuggle him all up and boop that nose if I didn't think it would end with all of his pointy parts making new holes in my skin.

Pretty happy with my first plaid darn. I was going for a "rustic" look. It may be a *little* more rustic than I intended, but I won't tell if you won't.

Starting a new darn on a pair of my daughter's wool pants. I'm attempting a plaid this time. We shall see how it turns out!

I'm making use of a huge stash of wool needlepoint thread I scooped up at the local thrift store.

The rainbow of threads came with several patterns to match. Someone out there was unable to finish the projects they dreamed about, but their supplies are being put to good use!

One of my current projects. It's far from perfect, but the price was right & I've already made some improvements. Now to clean it out & slap on a coat of paint to prevent further rot. Short term, it'll do the job!

My Marans are finally starting to lay again!

Some of my helpers while I worked on the fence today.

I went to pick up some chicken supplies from someone's house and came home with more than I bargained for!

This little creature walked up to me and said, "Oh, hello. There you are! I've been waiting for you." There was no possible way I could not take her home with me.

She had been living under a camper with multiple siblings from multiple litters. She had a terrible ear infection and was pretty hungry. Despite all that, she is EASILY the sweetest, chillest Kitty I've ever owned. She lets my 6 year old carry her around like a ragdoll.

I had no litter box, so I took her out wearing my late chihuahua's harness and she happily pottied in the yard like puppy. We do it multiple times a day now--without the harness. SMH--I've never had a cat like this before.

She likes to sit on my shoulder. She enjoys licking ears🥴. She's my daughter's new LEGO partner and my new snuggle buddy. If her play skills are any evidence, she'll make a great mouser one day.

Meet Violet; the newest member of the family we didn't know we needed!
