Grandma Herding Chicken

I passed this table on the way to lock up the chickens and liked the look of the leaves that had appeared overnight. I could have picked up some prettier leaves and added them, but these are the ones that fell from the roof or blew up there. I like the table and the leaves add a nice touch. It feels and looks like Fall is really on its way. Kristine is even working on a cold. We usually get sick when the seasons change, especially in the Fall. She gets exposed to the public at the library and now at college. I hope her immune system stays strong and she kicks the cold this weekend. There were two Light Brahmas wandering

around outside the pen, so I resorted to

chicken herding. This is the second Brahma I "walked" to the pen. The first one was much louder and more vocal in letting me know I should go away and leave her along. And it took much longer to get her to the coop. This hen probably didn't want to be out by herself anyway, so moved along fairly quickly and didn't fuss too much. I should spend some time and train Morgan to do this.

Old Pins

Here are some of the old timey clothespins that came with the old clothespins bag. I especially like the two on the right and the ones with the metal wire around the top of the opening. I suppose the wire was to cut down on the possibility of the clothespin splitting.

These may not be old clothespins because I know they sell clothespins like this for craft projects. However, I would like to think that they have been around for awhile and are still giving good service. I really like them!

And here a view of an old table I found at a yard sale. It has a drawer in the middle on one side. I don't know if it was originally painted or not, but I just love the old table. I moved the table out on the porch so I can use it when I hang up laundry or to hold a cup of tea when I sit in the swing seat.

I fed the hens watermelon rinds and lettuce today for treats.
