Bantams and Marans~

Took some photos today.

 One of the Roo's has golden shoulders... not a good thing for Lavenders... but I like him a lot at this point.

Of course the Better Lavender... didn't want me to take his photo.

These are the bantam version of the
Ameraucana.

The Big hens, who will be moved to the large poultry Hen house soon, 

are Blue Copper Maran.

With the Blue Copper Maran hen.

Couple of the d'Uccle Bantams.

Only two of the hens came out with muffs 

and beards.
Plan on selling the others.

First Blue Egg !

First Blue egg, 

from one of the chicks I hatched out

 at the end of July!

Happy Holidays to one and All !

Birch Trees~

New Birch trees... They were on sale and I missed having Northern trees.
This species of Birch was created to

handle the heat we have here.

 They are leaning because Stjarna just had to go itch herself on them. (rolling eyes)

Will look very pretty in spring.

Loaf Bread for the Holidays~

Normally I just give homemade

 White bread to the good neighbors for the Holidays..

this year I decided to do loaf breads.

This one is the Banana, with fresh Raspberry and Chocolate chip Loaf Bread.
Before and after photos.

The golden color you see, is from the rich eggs we have from our 

free range chickens.

The last set of loaf breads, is the Pumpkin spice Chocolate chip loaves.

Mia and the giant Lad ~

Poor Mia is being over shadowed by the new Kitten. 

Also hard to get Mia's beautiful green eyes to show up... even with no flash. 

But you can see them, in this photo.

She is helping her person, do college work.

New bird Feeder and Tree ~

Bought a new Bird feeder... one of the mirror ones, so the cats can enjoy eating in their dreams

....ah... watching the birds too.

For our Anniversary, we bought a new Japanese Maple.. was on sale at 75% off!

It will not get big and will offer the wild birds some place to rest, after eating.
