Thoughts from the chickens' auntie...: December 2010
http://chickenauntie.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. 24 Days of Advent - Day 21 - Christmas in the Kitchen. We have lots of Christmas in our kitchen - probably because, like most people, we spend a lot fo time there! Here are some pictures of our kitchen Christmas. A large bottle brush wreath. A shelf with old gift boxes and various Christmas kitsch. The shelf over the stove - more kitsch. I wonder how many tinsel trees I have? Handmade Christmas tea towels - not easy to find. The top of the hoosier cabinet - more kitsch. If you...

Thoughts from the chickens' auntie...: Moving Day
http://chickenauntie.blogspot.com/2011/01/moving-day.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. I began this blog in February, 2006. I intended it to be an outlet for sharing my thoughts (as a middle-aged, empty nest mom) about life in general. Now, almost 5 years later, I'm moving off in a different direction and want my blog to reflect my new focus. I might still post here from time to time, but only occasionally.

Thoughts from the chickens' auntie...: Stepping Out in Faith!
http://chickenauntie.blogspot.com/2011/01/stepping-out-in-faith.html
Friday, January 07, 2011. Stepping Out in Faith! Well, my friend Bargain Hunter and I signed the papers today to get a booth at our local antiques mall! We're really excited and have lots of ideas for making it work, but it's pretty scary, too. We take possession on February 1 (a Tuesday) and hope to have everything in place by Friday, February 4, so we don't lose the weekend traffic. Needless to say, that will be a VERY busy week!

Thoughts from the chickens' auntie...: June 2010
http://chickenauntie.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. Theme song, 'Movin' On Up'. . . Today the babies moved in with the old girls, and it was an exciting day, indeed! I haven't updated about them in a long time so here's a quick catch-up:. Remember these little cuties. And their two-level chick-o-miniums? Well, they quickly outgrew their brooder bins and. We put the Aracaunas in a cardboard box home. Turner found this FASCINATING). Then they outgrew that and we put them in a chicken wire circle in the barn. In the end,. After an afte...

Monday, December 20, 2010. 24 Days of Advent - Day 20 - Too Much to Do! Yes, dear readers, I've missed another day of my advent blogs. Which brings me to another time-tested Christmas tradition - having just too much to do! How does this happen? Christmas falls on the same date every year and I know exactly what needs to be done to get ready, so how do I end up so overwhelmed at the end? Posted by Anne@Kitschy Vintage.

Thoughts from the chickens' auntie...: This is REALLY scary!
http://chickenauntie.blogspot.com/2011/01/this-is-really-scary.html
Wednesday, January 05, 2011. This is REALLY scary! About 6 months ago, I radically cut my paid work hours to be available to help my husband with his new business. Since then, I've been trying to find ways to earn money, while still being flexible in my hours - not an easy task in this economy! I've done lots of thrifting and estate-sale-shopping with my friend, Bargain Hunter. I've bought and sold on Ebay for years (okay, so I've bought more than I've sold - who's counting?

Thoughts from the chickens' auntie...: May 2010
http://chickenauntie.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 06, 2010. Spring has finally sprung (though it's still too early to put out the tender plants). Here's what's blooming in the garden - though a few of these actually bloomed in the past couple of weeks. The forsythia I got for Mother's Day 2 years ago. Bloomed for the first time this year! The cherry tree (not that we'll get any of the cherries). Apple Trees (I love standing under them and listening to the hum of the bees). Bleeding Heart (both pink and white and fringed, as well).

http://chickenauntie.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. Chicks - Catching Up. I haven't kept up with 'baby pictures' of the chicks. It's amazing to us how big they're getting - it seems like you could watch them grow before your eyes! Here they are at 6 days old:. And here they are at 2 weeks. They're starting to look less chick-like and more chicken-like. They're already getting their adult feathers:. Today I picked up 6 new chicks.oops, make that 7! Here's a picture of Jim holding her in one hand a large egg in the other. We didn't...
