Changes ~

Happy Sunday my friends ~ I hope all is well with you ~

As you know, there are big changes happening at the Vintage residence ~ our Britt is spreading her wings and has found her own nest.  She will be moving November 13, so we have been busy packing (I didn't know how much stuff a 23 year old could have~!)

It's a beautiful fall day and as I stroll through the back yard, it seems that my flowers are trying to give me one last show, stretching their blooms up to the sun to find warmth ~

Soon they will be in a deep wintery slumber ~

I am enjoying their last show ~ just for me ;-)

Even my little garden fairy seems to be pondering the fall season.  Her wings are a little crooked, but I love her still ~

My girls are even enjoying this lovely fall weather ~ just a peckin' and a scratchin'

Rosie always enjoys herself and likes to take a stroll with me through the yard ~

Hey ~ wait for me~!  (that's Gabbie)

Mr. Vintage and I have put the house on the market for sale ~ we've decided the house is just too big for the two of us ~

Now, we have to find a house ~ there are other changes happening too ~  I'll share them with you next time.

What are you doing today?  Have you gone through any changes?

Can't wait to hear from you

((((Hugs))))

Chickens and Roses ~

Hello ~ I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend ~

Today was a really fun day ~ I started out by fluffing my nest ~ then Mr. Vintage and I had coffee in the back yard ~

Yes my friends, we had coffee with the chickens ~

We love to let the chickens out in the yard and watch them.  They are very comical

Rosie is very curious and loves to peck and scratch ~

What are you girls doing in my garden?

This is Gabby ~ she loves to cluck and squawk ~

I have always wanted a milk bottle carrier and I finally found one on Etsy and guess What?  ~ she arrived today ~

I just love it on my farmhouse table ~ sigh ~

After our coffee with the chickens, Mr. Vintage and I went grocery shopping...on the way he stopped at a flower shop and we went in.  Yes, my friends he did, he did, he bought me roses ~ just for me ~

Aren't they beautiful?  I split them up and put the creamy ones in the kitchen and the pink ones in the living room ~
The house smells heavenly ~

Thank you Mr. Vintage ~ It's not even my birthday, our anniversary ~ nothing ~ but he said I was worth it.  I love you Mr. Vintage ~

Tonight I am making lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and fresh veggies.  ~mmmmm~ can't wait

How is your day going?

Can't wait to hear

(((((Hugs)))))

Did you miss me?

Did you miss my Mommy?  She has been busy taking care of things..... I have missed you ~

I am sure you didn't miss the chickens ~ cause they're just chickens ~

I betcha missed Mommy's gardens ~ she loves gardens ~ I like to walk through them, but she doesn't like it so much

Scooter misses everyone too ~ but she doesn't show it much

Mommy says ~ just smile even though it's  a rough road ~ I think I'll take a nap ~

I hope everyone is doing well ~ 

Mommy says, sometimes our problems weigh on ourselves ~ I don't know what that means, but ~

I hope everyone has a good Victoria Day weekend ~ what are you doing?

Please tell me,  I am listening ~ Mommy's busy with stuff, but she'll be back soon as good as new

(((Hugs)))

to all of you, Mommy misses you xo

Supervised Play Date ~

Happy Sunday ~

Mr. Vintage and I supervised a play date with the chickens last night ~ what fun!

They ran straight for the red current bush (I've been feeding them red currents for a treat ;-)

It wasn't long before Rosie was off and running ~

Rosie even let me pick her up and pet her ~ she's my little chickie

The chickens really had fun running around the yard... then it was bedtime and they all went into their coop.  They were very tired.  We'll have many more play dates with the chickens ~

Have a wonderful day ~

What are you doing today for enjoyment?

(((Hugs)))

Embellishments ~

I hope everyone is having a wonderful start of their week ~
Well, if you have been following my blog for a while you know that I can NEVER leave anything as is...

Soooooo

The chicken tractor in it's early stages.....

The chicken tractor when it was finished with paint

Almost finished (I added the little yellow star)...

And now ~ ahh it's finished ;-)

Mr. Vintage put on the fake window for me

I added the flowers ;-)

(((Hugs)))

Mindy ~ what are you doing?

Someone has to protect the chickens ...I'm doing a VERY good job



Farmer's wife ~

I have always wanted to live on a farm and be a farmer's wife.  My grandpa was a dairy farmer.  My mom married a City man.  He was a very good man ;-)

Maybe that's why I love my little chickens ~ they make me smile.  Soooo.... I decided why not dress the part.  I went to value village and picked up a little flowered dress and put an apron on ~ I think I'm ready to feed the chickens ~

Just having some Sunday fun ~ Have a wonderful day!

Mommy, can I have Sunday fun with the chickens?

No Mindy ~ stay with Mommy

(((Hugs)))

They're HOME ~

Good morning ~ Well, we transferred the chicks from their temporary home in the shop to the chicken tractor last night.  They were a little shy at first ;-)

Once, they looked around and realized that we were not going to disturb them ~ well ~



Down the ramp they came...

Let the fun begin ~ peck, peck, peck

They kept VERY busy

What are you doing? It's not time for bed yet~!



Fine, I'll just sit here for awhile

Mr. Vintage and I watched them for quite a while, they are very entertaining.

What are your plans for Memorial Day ~ please take a moment to remember ~ we ARE free, American and Canadian ~ please remember...

FREEDOM IS PRICELESS

((((Hugs))))
