So he was Eddie Bardrockell and the new Bunnyhemians. I know so stupid but he was a dear who loved every one. <BR/> I'm now off to amazon to see about the new book :) The flowers will have to wait till spring.Andylynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04634072460146378411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-40748078803300088462008-02-28T16:58:00.000-08:002008-02-28T16:58:00.000-08:00Heidi,I enjoyed reading about your 'chickens'...Wh...Heidi,<BR/>I enjoyed reading about your 'chickens'...When our twin granddaughters were 3 or 4 they had a hen named Henrietta....they were so excited about eating her eggs until one day they saw her eat a lizard and from then on they didn't want any more of her eggs.....<BR/><BR/>Happy weekend....BettyBettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635572075951871756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-84162448477890478832008-02-28T16:33:00.000-08:002008-02-28T16:33:00.000-08:00Those chickens are beautiful!

He and wife have moved to her house! This house next door will be for rent soon - which concerns us a little as renters can be questionable - but he doesn't want to sell for a couple of years until he's built up his equity. Our area's real estate value has skyrocketed due to a huge and quite posh 'small town' being developed nearby replacing the old mall, so he's sensible to hold on to it for a while. <BR/><BR/>So dear Heidi - wish you, Jos and Dagi could come and be our neighbors - wouldn't that be fun!!!!!! <BR/><BR/>More later - hope your week is going well.<BR/>Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-42910244110537191702008-02-27T17:17:00.000-08:002008-02-27T17:17:00.000-08:00I think the chickens have adopted you!!

But I am afraid my girls do poop (a lot), but chicken manure is the best for the garden, so I do not really mind (and as soon as the grass starts growing, it will not show... the poop, I mean...) when the growing season starts in the garden I am afraid my girls are confined into the chicken run again...<BR/><BR/>Your quilt looks beautiful, and hand quilting is the loveliest form of quilting. But I do have to confess that I tend to skip that bit, and prefer machine quilting instead... I like to "play" with different fabrics and colours, but I am not so good at hand quilting them, I am afraid...Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511372208366707895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37631948.post-68562356565575973802008-02-27T03:45:00.000-08:002008-02-27T03:45:00.000-08:00Oh my goodness!

André would have made chicken soup of them ... We don't let our chicken potter around in the garden, as we have too many cats and poisonous plants around. Our fence is no real fence either, so that's no good idea. I throw all the poop into our borders, manure for free! So you can still consider having chickens ...<BR/>How good of you to start with this UFO! I started with my little quilt. Perhaps you are reading about it now?<BR/><BR/>Have a nice week, greetings from all of us. Hugs, CarolienCarolienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13019263777714527807noreply@blogger.com
