My aunt (on my husband’s side) gave us girls chicken feet socks! We all wore them to go out with the hens. The hens were not fooled, but did check to see if the colors on the socks were edible, then went back to demanding mealworms.
You get a picture of my dog today, because he is so darn cute, I haven’t shared a picture of him in awhile, and my graphic work picked up which means my craft work has lagged. Time for a puppy post!
He is 1/2 Lab, 3/8 Schnauzer, and 1/8 Greyhound , according to the DNA results. He is my best dog, although he does tend to get himself hurt in the yard. The latest bout was a tangle with the wire fence New Year’s Eve. Probably spooked by fireworks. He is despondent that he’s not allowed walkies until he heals more.
I had some shredded Romaine lettuce left over from Taco Tuesday (it really needs the capitals in our house), and wanted to feed it to the chickens. My rope net bag’s holes were too big, and I really don’t like throwing it down on the ground. But I do have some scrap and stained lace doilies. I ran a ribbon through the edge of a stained doily and made a small bag. The holes in the tatted lace were small enough to hold the shredded lettuce, but large enough for the chickens to get pieces out.
They are French hens, it seems appropriate to have fancy feeders.
I found four little pots of flesh colored slime on our table, lined up in a neat little row. Felt a bit like the intro for a Dr Who episode. Turns out my youngest mixed up all her slime colors and redistributed them in the original pots. That doesn’t really diminish the chill factor, does it? On that note,
Happy New Year’s Eve!
I’m old, so I’ll be going to bed, but the rest of you crazy kids be safe. See you on the other side.
When I bought the basket for Sophie, the outside cat, it came as a two set. Our inside cat Izzy enjoys the larger basket as it fits her perfectly. She has a towel instead of a hand made mat because she likes laying on towels.
