I’m still working through my stash of yarn. I found some left over blanket yarn and tried for one of those long stocking caps, but in double crochet. It did not come out as I expected. It does not lay over, but stands up straight like a gnome hat. Huh. I think this one goes in the dress-up box.
Here is another trail cam photo where the night vision and weather conditions produced an eerie effect.
Here is another picture of a doe and maybe her offspring? A two-year on the right and a yearling on the left? I’m anxiously waiting for spring new borns!
Now that hunting season is over here, I feel I can share the pictures from the trail cam of our beautiful buck that visits our property.
I think the December trail cam photo is interesting. It was raining so the photo has a ghostly quality, like someone summoned a patronus.
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 bought a kitchen sprouter. The mason jars were working OK, but I had one go moldy so decided to upgrade.
I followed the directions, and put the sprouter by the LED grow lights. After about a week I had sprouts large enough to feed the chickens! I transferred some to a flat container and the chickens loved it.
The chickens have some competition for the sprouts, though. I forgot how good alfalfa sprouts taste!
