| Baby Chicks on Mother's Day,2010 |

| Marilyn, the chick |
It's a super nice autumn day, great to be outdoors. Steve and I have been outside working on the chicken coop to shelter our nine hens and one rooster. I got my girls for Mother's Day, there were 10 of them- 1 died the next day. She was the cutest one because she reminded me of Marilyn Monroe, she had a yellow head with a darker body.

Anyhow, it's been a lot of fun giving them names. The 2 black ones are named Wilma and Betty (oh, Black Betty, bam a lam...). 2 dark ones are Laverne and Shirley (nothin's gonna hold us back now!). Thelma and Louise( little white ones who love to run to the edge and leap). The last three are tan and they are my "Charlie's Angels"!
Then there's Rudy, the Rooster, a gift from a co-worker. His name was going to be Charlie but Rudy suited him the best 'cause he's younger and loves to strut around. Not much crowing yet, maybe that's a good thing because I work nights and I need to sleep longer than "zero dark thirty".

| Coop in progress, august 2010 |
Our chicken coop was started in the middle of summer and we quickly fell out of love with the completion- just too hot. The coop is back on schedule, we have to beat the weather.
I have plans to make a 3'x4' painted quilt square on the south side of the coop called
HENS AND CHICKS . The idea came from viewing
QUILT BARNS, throughout Kentucky and Ohio.
