Guess what we are doing this week... collecting eggs! We are getting 6 fresh eggs a day. Our friends came over yesterday for a visit and I gave them all the eggs we had, which was between 2 and 3 dozen (all fresh).
So today, we are patiently waiting for the six hens to take turns on the nest. There are several nests in the coop but they all lay their eggs in one nest. So when you open the top, all six, 3 white (Leghorns) and 3 brown (Rhode Island Reds) are all right there together.
Isn't that strange? Soon they will be able to hatch chickens because they have one rooster added to the mix now. They lost two young chickens (out of three) they had in a different pen. So they traded the last young one for a rooster because the older hens would pick and peck on the younger one.
Guess I had better go figure out what to do for our meal of the day. Bills are already paid, grass has been mowed, and I am getting hungry. So share your smile and know that I am sending Blessings and Hugs your way everyday.
HI NANCY, HOPE YOUR SUNDAY WILL BE A GOOD OONE FOR YOU. MUCH COOLER UP HERE NOW AND MORE RAIN . COULD HAVE USED A LOT OF THIS RAIN IN THE HOT SUMMER. HOPE ALL IS WLL WITH YOU AND DAVID. HUGS, MOE
Kisses are the best way to wake up. Woo Hoo! We made it to the weekend. College Football day is my favorite day.
I sure hope you are getting out and having fun this weekend. Our temperatures may reach 90° again today, but it is so wonderful early in the mornings to be in the upper 50's.
Hubby is outside washing the Orange Tahoe. I think I will take the dogs for a walk. Now, if you believe that about me, I do have some Ocean Front property in Arizona for you.
Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today. Don't forget to share that beautiful smile of yours with everyone you see.
Nancy, enjoy your birthday lunch of catfish with your son. You are very special to me.
I thought I would start today with words of wisdom or a wisecrack, however you look at it. Now that we are off to a great start for Thursday, where did the week go?
Yesterday, we made it to Costco, Wednesday enchiladas lunch, post office, and Walmart for over $200 of WHAT? I don't know. Got a load of laundry done, dishwasher run, and Chicken & Biscuit Dumplings made (and some eaten).
Take a deep breath because that is a FULL day for me. Hubby has already watered the front again today. Today is probably the last day for these beautiful cool temperatures for us for a while, but it has been two wonderful days.
Now I am off to finish reading comments and replies. Then if I don't get a shower, that giraffe might just fall over in a dead faint. Glad smell-a-vision isn't real or you might just pass out too! Thanks just for being my friend and telling me all about your day too.
Sending my best wishes on First Day of Autumn, as we all get ready for this amazing season when leaves turn in their most beautiful colours in their last days...mk
A glorious Wed. day to you. Fall is in the air! Enjoying some pumpkin spice flavored coffee on this day while doing the household duties. Smiles Gloria
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. ~Robert Brault, rbrault.blogspot.com
Amazing how Monday just shows up on a regular basis. I have successfully ignored the morning. Well, I have made some calls and paid some bills and looked at several websites (shopping, Not shopping) and now it is afternoon.
Hubby got the front watered this morning. We were about 100° yesterday and will be again today... but tomorrow our high will be 82° with lows in the mid 50's. Yippee Yahoo.
Even though we have almost no chance of rain, we will keep watering and say, "Thank You Lord for the blessings of cooler temperatures." I know the hummingbirds are migrating through South Texas. My friends there sent videos of 10 or more hummers at their feeder at one time. It was so hot here that I just took a video of my hummingbird sitting near and protecting the feeders.
So guess I had better go find something for lunch. Something else that is amazing is how often my tummy growls to indicate that it is time to eat again... every day.
May you have a pleasant autumn week watching the leaves change on the trees. Such a beautiful site to enjoy. Puts a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye seeing the beauty of the season of fall entering in as summer starts to fade out. My , my how I enjoy all the four seasons. Smiles Gloria

I have been celebrating my son David's 64th birthday on Sept 14th. We went out to eat at his favorite restaurants on Tues and Weds and catfish buffet today. My 83rd birthday is coming up on Sept 26. When is your birthday, Moe? I hope you enjoy your weekend. Hugs, Nancy
Thursday I was busy cleaning out all the water features for the birds and giving the hummingbirds new food. We are still quite warm during the day (start day in low 70's) and plants are still needing water every other day.
Hopefully we say goodbye to Summer Fairy and hello to cooler temperatures during the day and early morning too. Let's try it, Hello Fall Fairy!
Right now, the only leaves falling are because the trees need a good soaking of rain. But at 15% chance next week, that isn't too promising. Then came..
As soon as I told Hubby that I needed a shower, my phone rang and it was Tisha. She was running late dropping off her 1st grader and told him to hurry. He tripped over the curb and did a faceplant.
He did not want to go to school. Besides, he would definitely have trouble seeing.
As you can tell by his glasses. They got new glasses ordered and she kept putting ointment on his cheek. By the end of the day I could hear him laughing at something on the iPad. When I got home, Bennett and his family came to the backyard for a visit.
So now here I am wishing you a blessed weekend as I am heading off to watch more football after Thursday night & Friday nights exciting games.
OK... so it isn't the football fairy... close though, right?
My goodness this week sure went by fast while enjoying ones moments of life. May you have a glorious day and peaceful weekend that is coming up.
I am at the moment having some Green Mountain seasonal Maple Pecan flavored coffee to make my day abit more special. I believe I need to head to the store and find some of the maple cookies to go along with the coffee. I can taste them right now , one of my favorite cookies as fall comes in and shows it beauty.
