It is not supposed to be susceptible to the squash vine borer that has "bugged" me for years. I also am growing " eight ball" squash- round suckers! They may not take the shape of traditional zucchini but are close enough for me. I'm growing them in containers and hoping if I take good enough care if them that I'll get a few to pick! But what about the color of that flower? That is my new favorite! If only MaJules could help me nail that in a Sherman Williams paint,,,,<br />

Last Sunday the kids and their children were all here. The little boys were so precious - my favorite thing is watching them run around together. Al and sons took over the kitchen and fixed the Moms a wonderful dinner....is there anything better? I think not. <br />
Later on in the week Al and I took a bike ride down in Fairhope. Beautiful day- as we rode along the bay your senses were assaulted by the world around us. Gorgeous bay....the magnolias and confederate jasmine are blooming- the scent is truly southern:-)<br />
The African iris and all the other southern perennial bedding flowers are we're really showing off! The earthiness of fresh cut grass and spiciness newly planted marigolds- Don't you love spring?<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNvFCsc9TN_ognSYtyt_L9cCAJdy71VJ0k7Q_w8tP5J58xUzJcdfwPLQfypd5KU_08DYPFl3AY0Zzou96sKBa1Lfub8sLU0xxFPuodVkcDEUi4RUIN6aRrlLsE6yUfZQf8UnCY1DTZpW5z/s640/blogger-image--1091263288.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNvFCsc9TN_ognSYtyt_L9cCAJdy71VJ0k7Q_w8tP5J58xUzJcdfwPLQfypd5KU_08DYPFl3AY0Zzou96sKBa1Lfub8sLU0xxFPuodVkcDEUi4RUIN6aRrlLsE6yUfZQf8UnCY1DTZpW5z/s640/blogger-image--1091263288.jpg" /></a></div>Jo Caglionehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13639780136629163867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2724816622831669068.post-66476289146276639792013-05-01T07:40:00.003-07:002013-05-01T07:40:58.012-07:00Good TimesOne of the most special treats was meeting up with our dear Aussie, Suzanne Wray and her friend- visiting all the way from Down Under!

It is a wonderful place- the whole town gets involved in making our stay the best it could possibly be - from the Boy Scouts making AWESOME strawberry shortcakes to the Rotary exhibiting antique quilts that bring tears to your eyes. <br />
As you can imagine it is quite crowded - lots of people - In order for our group to pick each other out in a crowd I made yellow chicken feather hair clips. Sounds innocent doesn't it? Well let me tell you- it was truly amazing what happened - EVERYONE was telling us how much they liked them , and it went on and on. We really couldn't go 20 feet without someone acknowledging us - greeting, brief chats, telling us where our fellow feather wearers were. Even the men got in the act- except they thought we were Indians...."what tribe are we in?" The result was so cool- we got to meet SO many people from all over - share a smile and a few words.....Every day it got better and better - the culmination was 2 of our group being interviewed by a newspaper reporter and being in a front page article of the Sunday Paducah paper. <br />
We decided to have a little fun and have our pictures taken with the quilt world "celebrities" - what a HOOT! They are really good sports and we had lots of fun with them- the following posts are the results of accosting some of the major people in the quilt world... I think they are still scratching their heads wondering what happened to them:-)<br />
And it all started with a silly yellow feather hair clip!<br />

One afternoon we spent sewing a pocket he filled with flowers and gave to the little girl across the street. Yesterday he decided he wanted to decorate and fill a foraging activity box for Rosie. He filled this little compartmented box full of seeds and nuts- then we spent quite a long time decorating the sides - it was a pretty elaborate deal that took us the afternoon. I hung it in her cage and after a couple minutes of wariness, she hooked into it and demolished it in 30 minutes....but she had a great time doing it!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnv5NBhDWlffnF7NunJzEeifHA12Bbq0QgX4eTZucwdUThbBzShE9ClO7ADbx0FPSWQmK0KQ2Yd2j6qIyShmxCXmNcwJkPg0G1_0j2n5RbBHoV1RlZ2uj7lxzsNec__-HOR5RkKKxNeRH/s640/blogger-image--1421308073.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnv5NBhDWlffnF7NunJzEeifHA12Bbq0QgX4eTZucwdUThbBzShE9ClO7ADbx0FPSWQmK0KQ2Yd2j6qIyShmxCXmNcwJkPg0G1_0j2n5RbBHoV1RlZ2uj7lxzsNec__-HOR5RkKKxNeRH/s640/blogger-image--1421308073.jpg" /></a></div>Jo Caglionehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13639780136629163867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2724816622831669068.post-77117335012249560072013-04-11T15:38:00.001-07:002013-04-11T15:38:14.597-07:00Chicken ButtWith 3 beautiful grandchildren - 2 under 2 years old it is safe to say we've cleaned up our fair share of poopy butts.....Well- I can now add this to my list of accomplishments- cleaning a chicken butt! My sweet RIR Lulu had developed a pretty ugly looking poopy clump on her rear end. Since her eggs pass over that nastiness and her lovely fluffy butt was very unbecoming, something had to be done! Here you can see me soaking her butt in warm water to loosen up the ugly clump. She was quite calm and tolerated this indignity quite well. I happy to say she is once again her beautiful fluffy butted self- clean as a whistle.

She is trying to go broody and not get off the eggs. I noticed she was in the nesting box all day so I decided to gently get the eggs out from underneath her. She did not like that idea in any way, shape or form:-(. My gentle girl was not giving up those eggs and pecked at me to leave her alone. Luckily she's a little girl and can't really hurt you but I felt so bad disrupting what she was so passionate about!!!!! I took her out of the nesting box and collected the days eggs - she had laid one of them and it was toasty warmāŗ. Since the eggs aren't fertilized (no roo) it was a futile effort but if she persists maybe I'll get a fertile one or two for her to sit on.

I think of the old days when the kids would be outside playing in the snow - enjoying the hell out of the weather. The older we get the less it does for us:-) I am with grandson Alex- I'll happily warm my tootsies by a roaring fire while playing with whatever electronic strikes my fancy.

First I have to share a cool moment. One of the best things about keeping chickens is every day is like Christmas morning- the ladies leave gifts:-) It is amazing to see what they produce - besides kick ass fertilizer. Last week I collected 8 eggs in one day. That means everyone laid! Usually I get 5 - 6 so that was a real bonanza. As Andy Schneider, The Chicken Whisperer, describes it- they are "pets with benefits".<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6Im3qPu-1S9TsQwSwRLy3pnLKkDPw4m0pwwRawbFDiLo7T7ZUOsrtVzaqKwdm7v6LH6licpLE1Y3MJ8uKkMlR_5i-ChROAWJplFAEMqZm6PViTbZQA0WTSXgr7y-3NnpGeJj171XrqbH/s640/blogger-image-1474203229.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp6Im3qPu-1S9TsQwSwRLy3pnLKkDPw4m0pwwRawbFDiLo7T7ZUOsrtVzaqKwdm7v6LH6licpLE1Y3MJ8uKkMlR_5i-ChROAWJplFAEMqZm6PViTbZQA0WTSXgr7y-3NnpGeJj171XrqbH/s640/blogger-image-1474203229.jpg" /></a></div>Jo Caglionehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13639780136629163867noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2724816622831669068.post-65314021789088860702013-02-26T17:33:00.001-08:002013-02-27T12:01:18.360-08:00Using up SpinachI bought spinach in a two for one deal so after using it in a salad I decided to do something fancy with the second bag......Shrimp Florentine over Tomato Cheese Grits!!!!!! I used Paula Dean's recipe because it had straight 5 star ratings.....not a dieters delight- butter, heavy cream, cheese, cheese and more cheese.....BUT if you are throwing fat content to the wind -You will not be disappointed!<br />

Or should I say, what a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. About 70 people turned out to learn about back yard chickens - young and old, newbies and seasoned flock owners. It is fun talking to fellow chicken addicts about their chicks - how many, what kinds etc. Most important - I did not come home with any new biddies - which was a relief to Al:-)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUaGxRt4df-gd6M5J0gUASp7JVLCoIoSIWn1SEeb-q59D90k87ARHzQEND9BBh-zF0L5UEGjTgA3QdYmarAGrcGkR7dkX0QNw269hM61VCLCwi3TIoPxttKa9mgRpAr56pBazsnenSLHw8/s640/blogger-image-1119666627.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUaGxRt4df-gd6M5J0gUASp7JVLCoIoSIWn1SEeb-q59D90k87ARHzQEND9BBh-zF0L5UEGjTgA3QdYmarAGrcGkR7dkX0QNw269hM61VCLCwi3TIoPxttKa9mgRpAr56pBazsnenSLHw8/s640/blogger-image-1119666627.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6aN7xDu4Ua7Kq0DWYfIZwa2Fcu9dsIP2Gv81dH2lnUbZF6Pv4QvyzP18nTW4Yo-2tnkcqScCOqreKZ5fOgLX87GVBw1IQRvfLfQxcY5HQE1ob92zLNjuTFLpF0EXQQXR3U8hjEEnDqx9l/s640/blogger-image--2054027356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6aN7xDu4Ua7Kq0DWYfIZwa2Fcu9dsIP2Gv81dH2lnUbZF6Pv4QvyzP18nTW4Yo-2tnkcqScCOqreKZ5fOgLX87GVBw1IQRvfLfQxcY5HQE1ob92zLNjuTFLpF0EXQQXR3U8hjEEnDqx9l/s640/blogger-image--2054027356.jpg" /></a></div>Jo Caglionehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13639780136629163867noreply@blogger.com0
