I could not WAIT for my dear chickens to start laying eggs. SO now we get as many as 11 a day-which is awesome! I love going into the hen house-the girls all race out into the yard-they can't wait to get out. I get to gather the still warm, incredibly beautiful brown eggs. If some one is still in a nest, they are making cute little chuckling noises. OK. Now my fridge is full of eggs-all sizes, all lovely shades of brown. But lots and lots of eggs. I am in pursuit of some great egg recipes-I'll try anything. Tonight's Breakfast for Supper was from the new Rachel Ray magazine: Puffy Pancake with Nutty Banana Butterscotch. Not your lowfat version-but it used 6 eggs-the recipe called for 5-I snuck an extra pullet egg in.
There is one of the perpetrators now-Olive was pecking at the back door-begging for a treat on the back deck. She is making her get-a-way. Send me your favorite egg recipe! Olive needs the work.
Just a few pictures of our situation in the woods. The leaves came tumbling down during the windstorm this week. We have not yet had a killing frost! The large black equine is Gentleman Jones-a retired racing thoroughbred that has come to live with us. His companion is my daughter's Curly-Zypher. They are just hanging out-waiting for the next apple hand out. Life is Good.
These are what I created for the Moo Triptych Swap on SCS. My subject matter would be offensive to some of the sensitive souls who play there. The second set is decidedly a little racier. But it is all in good fun-and I love Michaelangelo-any way you display it.
My version of this online class. I love these Maya Road Dress Forms. The paper is Graphic 45-Domestic Goddess.

Just for fun this fall, some swap friends and I are exchanging home made postcards. Postage has gotten very high, so 28 cents for a postcard seems to be a bargain. We have limited ourselves to using paint, ink and stamps on recycled cardboard. What a challenge! I am so used to pulling out the drawer that is labeled "BLING" and jazzing my projects up. This card is for my second round, it is a 10x sugar box-cut down to 31/2 x 51/2-then gessoed and inked with various shades of blue,gray and beige and a cloud mask. Simple stamping in charcoal and black is the finishing touch. I wonder what my mail box will yield today...
