The Big Eggs Return

November 29, 2011

The big girls have resumed laying eggs. Over the past few months, I watched as the molting increased, the eggs slowly tapered off. Up until last week, I was discovering two eggs per day. Then all of a sudden, yesterday the girls presented me with five. The most amazing thing is that two of them…

Brownie Pie with Cream Cheese Filling

November 27, 2011

I confess, I am not the best baker, but I am a great cook. Some tell me it is because I eyeball everything when I cook, rarely taking the time to accurately measure things out or follow a recipe. Well, this pie I made this past weekend was absolutely one of the easiest things that…

Costumed Eggs

November 1, 2011

Halloween preparations took up most of the day along with a few errands. When I went to grab the kids a snack after school, I noticed that Tilly’s egg was shrouded by a dainty Silkie feather. It was as though it had its own Halloween costume. It was beautiful. So pretty, that I snapped this…

Labor Day

September 5, 2011

Dolly wants to escape. She has become pretty brazen. In the morning, now as fast as her little body can wattle into the coop, she now tries to make a mad dash for freedom out the open coop door. This is so unlike her. Not caring to snuggle, she means business. I’ve racked my brain…

Pumpkin Bread

September 3, 2011

As the fall ushers in cooler weather, I seem to return to baking. I love the way it makes the house smell. There is something about it that is entirely comforting.

Inspector Sunshine

August 13, 2011

Lately, I do not know what has gotten into Sunshine. She has single handedly taken it upon herself be the secret investigator and the police officer of Tilly’s Nest. She is my pseudo rooster.

Day Trip and French Toast

August 9, 2011

Today I am heading down to Connecticut. My grandfather passed away and as I am the only Granddaughter nearby, my Dad asked if I would come down and help sort through my Grandparent’s belongings. The home is a time capsule, it remains just as it did when I was a little girl. The sights and smells…
