I did that wandering off thing again. Sorry about that. I just have not felt inspired at all lately. I think it's the changing seasons. It should energize me but instead I just feel lazy and dull.
It's also really hard not to post every single day about the chickens. They are just SOOO funny that's all I want to talk about. I knew raising chickens was going to be fun – I just didn't realize that they have such funny, distinct personalities.
What they don't have is an off switch and we have more eggs than we know what to do with. We keep telling them to take a few days off but they are hard little workers.
I went to see my friend Kelly last Monday and, is her style, she loaded me down with some fabulous stuff. I keep telling she should just open a shop. Amongst the goodies where two turquoise canning jars. I can't decide if I should wash them or keep them kind of hazy looking, like they've been sitting in someone's root cellar for the last century.
She also gave me a beautiful glass chandelier that is a nice, compact size. It needs to be rewired and it is missing a bobeche and a couple of crystal but they are easily replacable. I'm thinking I might hang it in the corner of my bedroom where I currently have a hanging candle holder/chandelier type thing. That corner could use more light.
When the weather gets cooler it makes me want to change out the bedding in the guestrooms. Kelly gave me a duvet cover and two matching shams done in faded florals. I have a red flannel quilt that will go perfectly.
There are more things to talk about but I'll save them for future posts. I'm trying to get back in the swing of daily posts (at least during the week) so I better save some topics.
Happy Monday everyone!
Andrea,
I like the idea of leaving these jars hazy looking. It seems to fit nicely with their blue color.
Your adventures in chicken raising put a smile on my face! If I lived in the country it would be fun to try it myself.

I agree.. and not only are we getting more and more eggs – but the eggs are getting bigger! ha ha … but I don’t ever have a hard time finding someone who wants them!
On the up side though – I have been eating egg whites for dinner about 3 x a week!
Well, I just want to scrub those jars. Then stick spatulas and wooden spoons in them.
What about instead of a lemonade stand you open up an omelet stand? Or there might be a certain breakfast burrito queen that would like some home grown eggs…
