From Christmas get together with family, 4H community service at the Homme Nursing Home, mild temps to enjoy the natural Vit. D to shopping the "bins" in Appleton, we have had a fun and rewarding week.
Saturday
Monday - Thursday
Cup of tea in my greenhouse....little quick nap in the sun...until I heard a ruckus outside. This hen, she wanted to come in. She was relentless. Silly girl!
Then she brought friends....
With the nice weather they have been out free ranging every day. We even found her sitting on an egg in the garage. When did she get in there?
Both daughters and grands went thrift shopping with us. My friend Karen just happen to be there too. Mind you, this is over an hour from our house. Anyway, Karen came up behind me and said "I almost peed when I found this!" I screamed....it was loud...eek...she found a very primitive, hand painted, like maybe 100 years old, pantry box! So nice! That had to be the best thing in all those bins. She loves primitives too. I said "I'm sorry I screamed (ahaha)." She said last week....her friend told her people were screaming while digging, because there was a mouse in one of the bins. So, Shannon. if you are reading this....true! Anna said she saw turds in other bins. It takes more than a mouse or turds to stop me from digging.
Have you ever been to one of those by the pound "bins" shopping places? So many 20/30 somethings buying clothes.

I hope you mean MICE turds when you say turds??? Ummm, think that would be enough to make me not want to dig through anything then. I've never heard of places like this and I don't think I'd have the patience for it...unless, maybe, someone told me there was a 100-yr old pantry box somewhere in one of them ;-) Glad you got to enjoy a bit of sun - it's been so very scarce that when it came out today, I was afraid I would be blinded. And, of course, it's miserably cold. ~Robin~ (Love the chickens!!)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, mouse turds. The prospect of finding another one...I'd dig again. You would have loved it - I couldn't believe she found it! My chickens are very social. Yes, it was cold today. We just did a sauna and the stars tonight are amazing - the moon too!
Deletesounds like a lovely Christmas. We still have snow in spite of warm temps and rain. Now we are going into the cold for the next week.
ReplyDeleteI have not shopped by the pound but it sounds like I will take a pass.

It was a nice Christmas. We had a dusting of snow today. It was also cold! It's not for everyone. Ahaha
DeleteWhat a wonderful Christmas you had from those pics. Bob and I use to go to places like that looking for gold as we called it. That pantry box would have been gold to me. Hope you have a blessed new year. Those artist pics are wonderful as well. Janice
ReplyDeleteoh yes, you would have loved the pantry box! I hope you have a good new year too!
