Renegade Chicken

I love it when plants volunteer to come up other places then where they are supposed to.  I was weeding on our last sunny day which seems ages ago, and was so thrilled to see this hen....no chicks as of yet but I know they will 'hatch' soon.

Would you like to join in the fun and challenge yourself with us?  It is really simple...if I can do it anyone can.  You don't have to be a professional...just a regular Joe Schmo with a camera and Internet service.  I have learned a lot just by checking out what other share.  Just take a look and then join us next Tuesday.

Penoies

Peonies coming up give me such a feeling that spring is coming and summer is right on her tail.  Extra bonus with this one...the seed, probably a sycamore tree seed...our neighbor has a huge one in their backyard.

Check out the other Tuesdays.

Red Barn

I have been playing nursemaid to our beagle, so it was nice to get out in the country for a drive last weekend.  We had to stop on the side of the road to let Ella Bella water the lilies and I looked up and saw this beautiful red barn.  Then the bright blue sky and the greener than ever grass...I couldn't pass it up. 

There are lots of Tuesdays that play along....check them out.


You just might get the itch to try your had at the photo challenge.

Sweet Buds

If you look really close you will be able to see just a little tinge of red or maybe pink.  It is our little magnolia.  This might be the only picture we get of it...we are expecting temps int he 20's and 1-2 inches of that white stuff tomorrow night.  Guess that is what you get when you live in the Ohio valley.

There are lots more Tuesday pictures to look at.  Click here to check them out.

Chicken Scratch

I love old stuff that no one else seems to like.  My father-in-law found this feed sack for me a long time ago.  When we moved back to Ohio I knew just where I was going to put it.  There is a phone jack behind these chickens.  It always stuck out like a sore thumb.  Pictures would not hang even or straight  over it.  i knew just where this puppy was going to hang.  And the next best part is is from Huntington, WV...where I spent the first 36 years of my life...where I met Mark...where I got married...where Cassie, Emmy and Bryce were born...where family still is...where dear friends are...a town with lots of history...I love being a WV Hillbilly!

So...I played, what about you?  Wanna play?  It is real easy and lots of fun.  You meet lots of interesting people from all over the map and you get to see some incredible photographs.

Seen Better Days

n

I am itching to get out in the yard.  Today the sun is bright.  They sky is blue and not a cloud in sight and it is a whopping 40 degrees.  Flowers are coming up everywhere, seems like just overnight. 

The girls love 'riding' this old trike. I can't really remember when I got it originally it has been so long.  But I love it and it is always a conversation piece.  In the summer it looks great with all the flowers surrounding it and then with a pot of something colorful on the seat.  I'm dreaming of how beautiful it is going to look.

Why no check out the other photos that other Tuesdays have to offer.  Shoot, why not play along?

Believe In Tomorrow

This was given to me a few years ago when I participated in a Garden Swap.  I love it and it hangs on a barn red wall in the kitchen.  I don't know how in the world Gina knew that I loved things like this.  Fits perfect with all the other treasures we have in the house.  I love it!

Go visit the other Tuesday's to see what they have to share.

A Little Flicker

Mark is trying to use all the old sunflower seeds trying to get ready for all his bird friends for the spring.  He calls this feeder the Mercedes 1224.  We had the binoculars out the other day checking out the visitors.  This guy comes a million times a day.  He is a little bit of a bully.  He loves the suet on the right.  Must be getting close to spring because we have a wide variety of visitors.

Check out what everyone thought to post on this Ruby Tuesday...Valentine's Day

Barn Red

I have always love everything about the Amish.  Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be lucky enough to have Amish  friends.  Thru Cedarmore Farm CSA and with the help of Rue and Susan, I am going to be able to realize that dream this summer.  You can read more about our adventure on the new Cedarmore Farm CSA Blog.
This may be one of two cross-stitch projects that I ever signed.  I can't even remember how long ago I did it.  I do know it was back before bifocals...when I could actually see to thread a needle...and get it thru on the first try.

Pinch On A Mail Pouch

Can't get outside to find anything that is red so I am walking around the kitchen looking for something I haven't photographed . I love this thermometer. My Father-in-law is always finding 'junk' that I like. This was a big hit! Now all I need to go along with it is a barn.Be sure to visit Mary and all the other Ruby's....

Still Living

This is the largest poinsettia that I have ever seen. Mark brought it home from Lowe's one night...actually I was with him and I carried it in. It is three times bigger than any I have ever seen. And it is a miracle that it is still alive. Just now starting to shed some leaves. I am wondering if anyone knows how to winter them so they will bloom the next season?

Please wonder on over to Mary's blog to see what everyone else decided to post.

Red Berries

I am in awe of everything that comes up in our flower beds. The most special are the plants that surprise me. I have no idea what this or where it came from. What a sec...I think maybe I got it from my father-in-law a few years ago. I made the mistake of planting it in the hosta bed around the big oak tree in the back yard.
My father-in-law calls it some kind of hosta. I looked it up once but for the life of me I can't seem to come up with its name at the moment. Does anyone out there in blog land have a clue what it might be?

There are a bunch of Tuesday's this time around. Come check them out. It is always fun, interesting and very entertaining.
