Chick Inn - Our Chicken Coop



Our chicken coop is all done!  The chicks are in and loving their new home. 
The steps can be moved to either the inside of the coop or the outside (as seen here).  
Chickens are so funny, as soon as the sun starts setting, in they go.  
They go right upstairs and go to bed.  
Easiest animals we have ever had.


 This is Dolly. 
 We have five Ameraucana's and one Barred Rock.
The B&W one is named Dot.
I couldn't tell the Ameraucana's apart so we named them all Dolly.
 I'm all about easy.


I had a little contest on Instagram to name the Coop.
I mean, if my house has a name then why not the coop?

Un Peu Mignonne (cute & little)

52 Blessings Week 13


I am so very thankful for SPRING!


I love everything about it, the flowers, the baby chickens I saw today crossing the road, birds teaching us to chirp, warmer weather, new little sprouts coming up out of the ground, orange blossoms, fresh fruit, trees coming back to life and bright colored clothing.

I Love The Smell Of....................

ORANGE BLOSSOMS
When I moved to Arizona in Dec. 93 everything was an adventure. I was on my own for the 1st time in my life and I was loving every minute of it. One of my favorite AZ memories is driving home from work in the spring every night with my windows rolled down breathing in every last scent of the orange blossoms that lined the roads. I thought it was the most heavenly smell I had ever smelt.
Last night I was outside and it's that time of year again!!!! I smelled my favorite smell and was in heaven!!! I love how the whole valley smells like orange blossoms at night in the spring. What could be better than that?
I'm thankful that we have two navel orange trees that give us the yummiest fruit all winter and blossoms that make the air smell so good!
