WINTER DAYS

Winter scenes to warm one's heart. Little did I realize how much pleasure, happiness and entertainment chickens would offer us here at Dog Trot Farm.

An angel keeps watch over my snow covered herb garden. Plants are still asleep, however with Springs impending arrival new life will once again surge forth.

A lovely old covered bridge located not far from our home. In my mind's eye I am drawn back in time to the sights and sounds of images of long ago. I wonder about the people who lived in the area and those who crossed this bridge daily. With the quiet of winter my mind day dreams. While standing in this quiet surrounding you can almost hear the clip- clopping of horses travelling by.
Winter days, they are perfect for daydreaming.

Julie your pictures of the covered bridges make me smile. The chicken feeties in the outlined heart make me want to make CH build me a cute little chicken coop, give my chickens names that fit their characters and collect me some eggs! Thank God I have your blog posts to read so that I can live vicariously through your chicken experiences! Maybe I could adopt one of your hens and send her letters and encouragement!

Such pretty pictures!
Isn't it amazing how the chickens scratch their way into our hearts? I knew when I first started dreaming about mine, almost three years ago, that it would be fun ... but I had no idea that I would LOVE each one so much and that every one would have their own personality and style.
(And who would've believed I'd convine my husband to let the rooster stay!! lol)

I'm so happy you're enjoying your chickens so much, Julie. This makes my heart happy. :-)
