~Fall Pumpkins and Simple & Sweet Fridays #132~

September is the month for the first day of Autumn.

The changing of seasons and the leaves start to fall.

We always start to harvest our pumpkins for the holiday this month. 

Using squash for a vessel for soup is

 just the perfect bowl for a festive dinner. 

~Butternut Squash~

Feeding our chickens the outside of squash.

They loved it!

Carly wanted to make dog treats for our labrador, Maggie, today.

She found a natural dog treat recipe on the internet.

We bought dog bone cookie cutters at our local bakery.

Maggie was very interested in the new treat!!

She loved it!!

I was gardening and moved 

my dad's stained glass in a new spot.

It looks perfect!!

I wanted to share photos of our Fall Garden.

Hope you're all having fun in your Fall Gardens!!

Our New Chickens and Simple & Sweet Fridays #125

We have new members to our family.

Ameraucana Chickens.

A doctor we know was moving and needed 

to find a home for his two Ameraucana Chickens.

He just wanted to make sure they found a good home.

We have been wanting to raise chickens for some time now.

Reading lots of books and taking classes.

But, as you know there's nothing like a hands on experience.

We brought the chickens home last Saturday.

Maggie our Lab, was wondering,

 what was all the excitement about.

Stan and Justin moved the chickens and chicken coop 

into their new home. 

They seemed to adjust to their new surroundings easily.

 Carly fed them and they were very happy.

They were so entertaining.

So far, we are getting nothing done around the house.

We just love watching them.

I have a broken bird bath that works nicely for their food.

It won't tip over.

We have been getting fresh eggs daily and 

are looking forward to our new members 

being part of our family.

~Life is a wonderful thing~
