The Family That Roosts Together Stays Together.

So tonight on my nightly visit to check on the chickens this is what I found. The funny thing is during the day they fight all the time. I guess they made-up. Yep that is ALL SIX of them on one perch. from left to right thats Tiny, Ethel, Poofy, Granny, Poppy, and Eloise. And my educated guess is that is also the order of their ages too. From the youngest to the oldest. interesting.

Making Time

I must confess. I have been bad. Not only did I skip church this morning because of the thunderstorm, I also have neglected to spend time with Eva drawing or making art. It is super easy to get caught up in other things. Like homesteading, yard work, work in general, not to mention facebook, pinterest and yes, blogger. But this morning Eva and I made some homemade postcards to send to family. We got to talk, practice writing, learn our colors better, experience watercolors, talk about postal work and mail, and as you can see I got to paint chickens and eggs. I love my girl. It's ashame that I had to have the bottom fall out of the sky to force me to spend time with her.
