What a fantastic week it has been! All kinds of great goings-on, including buds opening on flowers and trees, temps in the eighties, new sponsors and opportunities knocking, justice doing its thing for the good guys and Blaze’s chicks hatching by the dozen! I’ll keep you updated on all of the above in due time.  Please enjoy some of the photos taken in my chicken yard this week and Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who have done or are doing The most important job in the world, bar none.

The flock celebrates its matriarch, Freida, as Mother Hen of the Year for 6 consecutive years!

Decaf you mean broken coffee
I'm busy turning coffee into awesomeness
She went that way
Wake up and caffeinate

I love my Brinsea mini and could use another. 7 eggs is just not enough! Lol. It keeps the temp within a tenth of a degree all the time. I usually get 6 out of 7, or 7 out of 7 hatch rate. I sure could use another to have more batches going.

Love the picture with the coloring. Usually see it for wedding pics, but so cute with chickens!
