Isn’t that funny! How cool…. I can’t wait to play around with our own chickens. Some day….

There’s a great used furniture place right around the corner and we’re looking for a group of kitchen chairs… so the girls and I stopped in to see what they had! Of course, we didn’t find the right set, actually most of the groups were all connected to a table as well, so that kind of made it tricky to buy a set. So instead, we just looked around and shopped.
The fellow that owns the place is always bringing in new stuff and it’s not just furniture. He’s got knickknacks and other goodies, so it was fun to wander around and see what we found! And of course, the price is right.
I got a cool little green oil lantern…
And this neat medieval arch candle holder thing. Not sure if it’s going to hold candles indoors or if it’s going to go in a garden bed for maybe peas or morning glories! You never can tell.
Jessy found a few cute props for her animal photography… a cute little wicker basket, like a small picnic basket and this neat little plant stand, that already she’s been testing with Luna and the ferrets. The ferrets LOVE the thing, it’s like a little lookout tower for them to hide in. Jessy has been formulating some ideas for her photography business and one great way to get good pictures of critters is to sort of corral them a bit. So she’s looking for neat “pet” containers that have interesting textures and colors that she can pose her little clients in.
I also found this WAY cool little rooster wind direction thingy. Weather vane. It is SO cool in my yard, I had to install it immediately! It’s not working great, I believe it needs a little greasing to make it move a bit more freely, but I’ll get to it this spring. In the meanwhile, it’s great and it makes me smile.
And the best part, it’s a cash and carry sort of deal and we are in there periodically, so we got everything for a big whopping $30. Pretty fun day with the girls. We stopped and grabbed some coney dogs for lunch. I’m so blessed that my girls love to hang out with me and we enjoy doing treasure hunts for little things that make our days.
Pin ItMaggie and I went to get some more eggs from our nearby homesteading neighbor Francine. She and her hubby have a great little homestead they are working on, with gardens and chickens and woods and dogs! It was neat to hear that they are thinking about a cow and a pig! That would be so fun to watch and experience some while they learn and grow into their space! Hopefully we’ll be able to follow someday. Probably not for a while, but you just never know how things will turn out.
We brought a bag of goodies for the girls… cantelope rinds and innards and some wilty greens and some stale buns and cornbread! The girls were very happy to enjoy these treats! Maggie made a lot of friends of them all.
They have several roosters, but one Buff Orphington roo is definitely the king of the coop! He’s so cool.
Maggie found an egg that someone had laid, that was so cool. I’m so jealous! HAHA… Maybe next time.
It’s just so cool to visit and see the chickens. I’m really not sure why I want them so much, but I really do. I just love watching them, and enjoy their goofy bird antics. Can’t wait till the time comes that we can have a few girls of our own. Someday!
