White Wednesday



in the kitchen

So happy...we found a hoosier hutch very affordable, I always wanted one for my kitchen. We worked on it two days, believe me it didn't look too shabby.


This was my B-Day gift from Deano and I finally got RED walls! But that's another post.

HO HO HO!




The tree is decorated, no room on the floor this year so we decided to have it on a table. I like it, I will be able to easily reach for my presents! lol I am really bad....I have to touch and shake and drive everybody crazy, I love gifts also if they are not for me. You can wrap coal I will still be surprised.

"Roosty"

I had to name him...I have been taking care of Roosty for a couple of weeks since the raccoon took his brother and damaged Roosty's right eye. I am sure he is blind in his right eye. Since that day the other chickens don't let him get close to them or the coop,so Roosty hangs out with us. He is a character! Well Merry Christmas from Roosty.
