Aretha's First Egg!
Ethel has been laying for several weeks now. This evening, I found 2 eggs! Aretha is now officially a laying hen! GO GIRL!
Look What I Found!
What a find, considering my recent fascination with anything "chicken"!
The butterfly has emerged!
I was thrilled to get to see the Cloudless Sulphur after it emerged from the chrysalis and before it fluttered away!
Miracles in Nature
My nephew first noticed this chrysalis on the fence. I had never seen one like it. I am most familiar with the chrysalis of the Black Swallowtail. I think it belongs to the Cloudless Sulphur butterfly. I have Cassia growing nearby and it is their host plant. I love the colors!
First Egg!
I went to let the girls out of the coop and found this suprise. The first egg! Hmm how shall I try it? Scrambled, fried, boiled or maybe just look at it for awhile!haha
Glass tea light holders
I thought these colored glass tea light holders were so pretty in the window.
Close-up of glass in window
Just another photo of those tea light holders!
Frog
This cast-iron frog was outside the door of one of the antique shops we visited! The little sign flips to say "Welcome" too! It didn't have a price tag!
Which came first-the chicken or the eggs?
In this case, I found the eggs first! I was shopping at a local shop called "The Market" and found the eggs. I decided I needed something to put them in. I continued looking and found the basket. Then I noticed the chicken! What luck!
Hanging Out!
According to photos and information I've found, I am guessing that my bats are known as Evening Bats.For more information on bats go to www.batcon.org .
My brother and my oldest son,Dustin erecting the bathouse.
We put up the bathouse in June and were lucky to have 7 bats find it by January. That is when we noticed them. We now have about 200 bats.
Bug's new apron
My niece's nickname is Bug". I made the ladybug cake (pictured farther down) for her 2nd birthday. I made the apron for her 3rd birthday.
My newest apron!
I found the pattern and fabric late last summer. I finally got around to sewing it this summer. I sure could have used a model, but I didn't think asking my 13-year-old son would help!
Lucky Toadstool
I think toadstools are lucky. Maybe its because we don't have them during a drought!
Lucy
Lucy is one of my four pet hens. I am looking forward to some fresh eggs any time now!
Newborn bat
For a couple of weeks in May, I kept finding newborn bats that had fallen out of my bathouse. When I found them, I would return them to the bathouse. My bathouse is filled to its capacity. I am guessing that they would get jostled during the evening exit and lose their grip.
Ladybug cake
I made this cake for my niece's 2nd birthday!
Frog Cake
I made this cake for 2 nephews. The frog was for the older boy,and the tadpole was for the toddler!
Child's apron
My mom made this apron for me when I was a child.
Modern Grandma Apron
My mom made this apron using tube paints called liquid embroidery.
Organdy apron
This is another dressy apron from my Granny's collection.

Cute decorations. I don't think of myself as a party girl but Mardi Gras seem like fun with all the pretty colors and of course, New Orleans which is like Food Central. Fun to decorate for even if you never get to go. Plus crowds kind of scare me so I will just do it here.
ReplyDeleteHave a Terrific Tuesday
from Roberta Anne
Your white feather tree looks good decorated for Mardi Gras! Friends of mine in New Orleans tell me they keep their Christmas Tree up until Mardi Gras and then decorate it for THAT season. Fun, huh!?!?
ReplyDeleteYour clogging trip to Seadrift sounds like fun! My neighbor is from Seadrift and keeps telling me she's going to take me with her sometime.
Happy Fat Tuesday Lorilee!
