Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It's in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care, 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Maya Angelou

Song (or piece of music)

GIVE - Tori Amos

So you heard
I crossed over the line
Do I have regrets?
Well, not yet
there are some,
some who give Blood
I give love
I give

Soon before the sun
before the sun
begins to rise
I know that I
I must give
so that I
I can live

There are some,
some whose give
twists itself to take
they mis-take
who, what made up the line
some say it was pain
or was it shame

Soon before the sun
before the sun
begins to rise
I know that I
I must give
so that I
I can live
Some
Some who give Blood
I give love
I give

Table settings

Its been a while, I had heart surgery, and life has gotten different. I figured that since I may not have much to write here, I could post table settings (a simple addiction of mine) and perhaps recipes.

Anyway, here was Thanksgivings setting

Three egg layers

We now have three egg layers. Snow Whites have become larger. We believe the second layer is Sunny our buff orpington. Our third is BBW the Easter egg layer.

Talk about variety. Three out of six. I cant wait to have them all laying.

They also all like the same box. Not sure what we will do about this...

My first time berry picking

We went berry picking for the first time the other day. Ethan got injured and I wasnt very good at it.

They sure were sweet & well worth it.

Meet Snow White

This is Snow White, our first to lay. She is a mid day layer, and until yesterday wasn't using the nesting box. I placed her in the box during a cuddle session, rubbed her back, and made sure she felt the fake egg up against her chest.


The next day she laid in the right spot. Now to test if she will return to the box while free range. When we made the choice to raise chickens for eggs I made sure we got somewhat friendly, reliable NONE white egg layers. I wanted my children to learn there was more to it than the cartoon of white eggs that we bought while on sale. I also wanted to have fun and see all the differences there are.


This is a carton of large eggs, and Snow Whites are medium sized.


And this is dinner, or lunch, or breakfast.

Pond

The pond is now coated. There is still a lot to be done, but within 30 days we will have it completed, with my babies swimming in more room than they know what to do with.

WE HAVE EGGS!

WAY earlier than planned but OMG!

We went to put the gals away for the night, only to turn the corner and find an EGG! Turn around and in the pen is another! We are about 2 months ahead of schedule so we never got around to putting nesting boxes in!

So after a mass egg hunt, we placed the boxes, with marble eggs for decoys, and we can only hope that they start to use them.

Tomorrow we will partake in real eggs!
