I just wanted to share my most amazing day. Today was my day off, and I slept in... after pulling myself away from my pillow I went out to feed my "girls": Mocha, Ruby, Lucy, Reba, Lola, Graciela, Velma, Melanie, Azulean, and Fifi. These are my chickens. I am obsessed with them. I have breeds that lay several different eggs, from white to brown to blue and green. Fifi will lay a pink-ish brown one. I went to the coop and they all were so happy to see me tht they were "humming". Today was a big day, I put up their new roosts. After completing my roost projectr I stood back to watch them sort things out. Azulean, my Blue Andalusian, is a very curious type and was first up the ladder and onto the roost. Then followed by Velma. They loved it! As an added treat, I gave them calendula flowers and fresh grass.
form there I started laundry. The thing is, I love laundry. I love it even better with blue skies and a warm breeze to dry it by. There is not better exfoliation than a sun dried towel! Pure bliss. I quickly grabbed a book, an ice tea and a lawn chair to sit in the middle of my freshly hung laundry and started to read....then I noticed that I have tomatoes coming on! So I started to meander around the garden looking at this and that, scrutinizing growth and what has been lost with all the rian we've had here in Ohio, and LORDY! Do I have zucchinni's out the wazoo. So I picked a few and went inside to make some bread.
After the bread, I thought I might take a walk down by the creek, since it IS such a glorious day....
Here it is, about 9pm and I've not ate anything yet because I've tried to finish laundry, read a book and pick fruits from my garden and play with chickens! Phew! But what an amazing day!

Dawn, I was just browsing through this forum to see what I wrote when I introduced myself (I'm not really as conceited as that sounds). Anyways, I saw the "most amazing day" title and thought "Is that the one I read when I was browsing early on?" IT IS! I love what you wrote. I've thought of it often as that sounds like my version of a perfect day - and hopefully will be after we get our chicks next spring. It's so cool to know that I felt a connection to you before we even "met". Love ya, girl!
God bless -

Most days are amazing: too often we get caught up in the nonsense of outside influences. would love to hear about your amazing day! I try to really look at the world through rose colored glasses. I know its not the most sensible way to go through life, but it makes me happier on the inside to know I've tried to see the best in everyone and everything!

hmmmmm, do you suppose it is just being a farmgirl?! I was giggling by the time I finished reading about your day and remembering when I have done the same thing!!! I am so fortunate to be working from home right now and find myself getting distracted by all I want to get done outside, that I am usually up until late getting my "job" done!! Thanks for sharing!! (I agree with the laundry! Nothing like drying the clothes outside!)

Dawn, that sounded like a great day! I enjoy simple pleasures like that and I'm also easily distracted too. I find half finished jobs all over the place where I start something but something else catches my eye that I think I have to do. I love the names you've picked for your family fowl members. I bet they are sweeties.

Dawn-
It does sound like it was an amazing day! I am the same way! I will have a dozen projects started and I am lucky if any of them get finished!

Well, I have to admit, I WAS being alittle sracastic towards the end. I NEVER get anything done becasue I'm so scatterbrained and I get distracted easily! My husband laughs at me all the the becuase I'll be hangin laundry and then I'll see something and leave the basket in the yard, or cut flowers in the garage becuse just then I decided to take something out of the freezer for dinner....Sigh. All in all, it IS good. Life is what you make it. I hated living here for the longest time... (so far away from my family) but I have finally decided to give it the old high school try and last year I decided that I need to make it enjoyable because I am here for a long time. Whitney, you too will have all you love and pine for...its in your heart.

I am sooo jealous. That life I am pining away for is only 6 months or a year away, and every day I get more and more anxious to start it!! I am so happy how many of you have the lives you love :) Not everyone is so lucky...
