A "Me Time" Kinda Monday...

First I want to say I did not even get on my computer til 2:30pm today... thats a big deal for me, lol.  Normally thats the 3rd thing I do after I jump out of bed... but not today, after I dropped my daughter off at work (8am) I decided to stay off my computer and just enjoy the day outside with my animals, the sunshine and a crochet project... I must say it was lovely, relaxing... and just what I needed.  

Coffee & Crochet = Happy Girl ;)

One of the many crochet projects I'm workin on... this baby blanket needs to be done by Friday, I started it Sunday night bout 9:30pm.  My hook has been flyin all day.

Beautiful fall day

 My Lazy Daisy has the right idea... soakin up the sun

Momma duck brings her 8 ducklings out to the main yard to free range, 

I just love watching them

These 2 think my fingers are food, lol

 Star out free ranging in main yard... 

 Peanut

 I put Tulip & Ringo together for a bit just to see if any love was in the air...

there wasnt, lol

Ringo... wishing there was love in the air, lol

 Nope the girls just wanted to munch the tasty green grass and leaves... 

(I should know this month if Star got bred last month)

So he decided to reach for the leaves instead of worryin about the girls, lol

 I put alittle water in that container lid for the baby ducklings... 

they played in it all day

 The Silkie Family

 Scarlet and her 2 sons... they still follow their momma all around the farm

 Took a few pics of momma hen & some of her older chickies...

The kids Cocoa and Boots down in the barnyard... 

5 months old now

Tulip & Star loving the extra freedom away from their kids...

 Cocoa wanting out to free range with her momma Tulip

 Boots wanting out to free ranging with his momma Star

 So I gave in and let the kids out to munch with their mommas...

I'm such a sucker

 They so love each other

 Happy Goats :)

Look who had to come snuggle in my lap for awhile...

The Guineas

The barnyard animals & their own area

We finally got the back yard fenced in for most of the barnyard animals to hang out & free range in all day. I love it. They have everything they need... shelter, water, free food, shade to cool off in. Its really nice to go down & hang out with them under the shade trees. We had to also put an electric fence around all of it but the back fence, Porkchop figured out she could escape after about a week. The day we put the electric fence up she got shock about 4 different times... She learned her lesson & wont go near the fence now, lol.

I've been hangin out with the animals & gettin some really cute pics. to share. The bantams (that live in the bantam tractor) get to free range in the big yard in the evenings, a few chickens/ducks can & do fly over & hang out in the big yard all day.

Hot Cholocate Anyone...

I was sittin outside one day with a cup of hot chocolate, I still had alittle in it but sat it down to take some pictures & they all wanted a drink...

Silly Chickens
