I hope you were able to rest up from your trip to Paris.

I love the addition of oatmeal and peanut butter! Have a great week!

FYI...you've probably already checked out chicken breeds but I thought I'd just brag on the Buff Orpingtons and the Barred Rocks...they are REALLY nice birds and VERY friendly and good layers too. I've got some Black Australorps coming (like Romeo)they are good layers and one hen is on record for laying 364 eggs in a year....not bad at all! Anyway I hope you enjoy your chickens as much as I do ours. Yes I'm enjoying our Sunday...I hope you are too. Take care...Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-4244379782401992002010-03-07T12:19:05.356-06:002010-03-07T12:19:05.356-06:00Hi Maureen!

Most of all I wanted a HORSE! Never got one till I was 16 and gone from home. Then I never had them again until I was 32. Loved it. I've been thinking of getting another but that's as far as it's gotten so far. Yes that's a smoker on the porch but we only got to try it once last summer so don't have a lot of experience with it. Ours is used with brickets but my husband says he wishes he'd gotten an electric one as it's going to take some time to learn to control the heat. We made ribs and they were great but a little over cooked on the edges LOL! Oh well...we'll learn. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself here...it's great to know I must be doing something right! Have a wonderful Sunday....MauraMaura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-41665401309459198722010-03-07T11:30:35.361-06:002010-03-07T11:30:35.361-06:00I'm so happy to have met "the girls"...I'm so happy to have met "the girls" and Romeo too. He is one good looker. I would love to have chickens and a rooster. Someday, if we ever get a ranch, which my daughter has built up in her mind already. Is that a smoker I see on your porch? My hubby has been hankering to get one, and I was wondering how good they are to have. I know you can smoke a turkey, but have no idea what else to use it for. I just love looking at all your photos.<br />MaureenCelestial Charmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254781524622723594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5672117109679216195.post-47951474457072750022010-03-07T11:09:42.404-06:002010-03-07T11:09:42.404-06:00We are repairing the chicken coop on our property ...We are repairing the chicken coop on our property and I'm hoping we can get some chicks this spring, and some guineas too! :-)<br /><br />Thanks for coming by and visiting my blogs... yes, Tori is an Australian Shepherd and I have another, Trixie. We don't have any Shih Tzu's - that was a Google ad in my sidebar. They will pop up relevant to your blog's posts, and since I do have pics of dogs, that would probably be why that was there.<br /><br />Hope you're having a lovely Sunday. :-)Girl Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862625817473671noreply@blogger.com
