Hello there,

Do you ever just take the time to sit and say to yourself “I’m so very fortunate.”  Well that’s exactly how I feel this morning.  It has nothing to do with money or possessions.  Believe me, Russ and I live a very modest life.  It’s just a sense of being.  🙂

This morning I got to have girl time with my favorite chicks.  That’s probably what contributed to my inner peace.  I went outside to find these ladies waiting at the gate for me.

I always think, look they love me so much.  They cannot wait to have time with me so they are waiting at the gate.

Then this happens. . . . . . . . . .

They stampede right by me to get to their favorite place.  The bird feeders.  🙂  This is were they find wonderful sunflower seeds that the birds have tossed out to them.

That’s okay, they eventually notice I am there in the background, quietly having my coffee and enjoying my morning.

One by one they come to say “good morning, when did you arrive here?”

This is my favorite girl Sugar.  She likes to show off her big red comb from all sides, apparently.  I think I would too if I had that on my head.

There was one girl missing this morning and I knew exactly where she could be found.  This is Goldie and she has gone Broody.  That means she is trying to hatch some eggs and relentlessly stays on the nest.  Poor girl, I keep taking the eggs from under her.  They are not fertile, we don’t have a Rooster in our flock and they will never hatch, but try telling her that.

Okay, I’m getting the look from Red.  This is her “go get me some Kale” look.  I am their slave so let’s go to the garden.

On the way to the garden I passed the bleeding hearts in bloom and the heavenly smell of the Lilac in bloom.  To bad this isn’t smell a vision.

We arrive at the little front garden where many of my Spring veggies are growing.

There is the Kale.  “Got it Red.”  “Be right there!”

After giving Red her Kale, I get to kick back with my coffee once again to enjoy the views and soak up the morning sun before the task of the day start.  There is tilling and tomato planting on the agenda.

If you are in the area, come by and sit a spell.  🙂

Well I hope you have enjoyed seeing a little piece of my world.  Thank you all for being part of it.
