Chickens

My, my how time flies.  I have not gotten used to blogging still. As you can see I have not been here for quite some time.  I am always getting lost reading other blogs instead of posting anything on mine. 

I am so glad that fall is almost here.  This year my son, who is taking agriculture classes in college, brought home some little chicks, back in March.
They are no longer little. We have one Rooster and two hens. They have started to lay eggs.  We (I) was confused on if we could eat them or not. I heard so many different stories of, "If you have a rooster, he will fertilize the eggs and you will not be able to eat them."  and others saying, "Just check in their nest every day and collect the eggs, they will be edible."

Well, I finally had the nerve to try some this past weekend, and i have to tell you, They are better than store bought eggs. 

But, I am sad to say that ever since we collected the eggs that our hens laid, they have not laid any more. 

We will keep checking and checking.  Did I mention that they are free range in our back yard and they poop every where.  That, I do not like.  They are my son's but momma has to clean up after them.  I will have to figure out how to contain them a bit. 

This is Mr. Rooster when he was younger. 

 This is Mr. Rooster. He is gorgeous! 

 These are our two girls. 

 I think that these two are a couple. They are always together. 

 This is where we found the first hen laying her eggs. 

It has been a few months since I last posted anything.

Here is something I have been working on.

Today was a sad day for me.  My two youngest children went back to school.  Although they are teenagers, I love having them home.

Some of the things I have made

                                          A soft pink crochet little baby girl hat with flower attached to the side.
                                          This one is sized for 6-9 month old.  So soft and comfy and pretty.

                                           I like this one, it is big and soft and  I added small pearls in the center.

                                          Crochet roses.

                                          Ear warmer with giant flower attached

                                          Ipod cozies.

                                          A hat my grandson is modeling.  I made this with Vanna's Choice yarn.
                                          So soft and comfy.

                                          My grandson in one of the many hats I have made.  His side profile.
                                          So cute.  He is seven months.

                                          An owl hat for the son of a friend.

                                          A fluffy off white brooch with a rhinestone center.

                                          Some off white baby booties I made.  Right now they are just plain
                                         but you can dress them up any way you can think of.  They are so soft.
These are just a few things i have made.

Hello

Hi everyone.
     I am new to this blogging business so my page may seem out of wack until I get the hang of blogging.
I want to share my crochet items with the world.  Crochet is my all time favorite hobby other that reading and travelling.
I hope in time you will enjoy visiting my page.
