I love in the afternoons and evenings to see these big thunderheads building up - they are so beautiful!
The evening sky last night was so pretty after the rain!
This was our sunset!
Boy howdy, are y'all in for a real treat. Not only do I have a video of my chickens but you get to hear my East Texas accent! You think Arkansans are bad, just wait til you hear this (sorry, Arkansas)! We had divested the tomato plants of some horn-worms awhile back and one of my Black Stars had swindled it away from the other chickens... (besides, everybody else does little videos of their chickens so why can't I?) Just a little over a minute - that's all, can you stand it for a little over a minute? I watched this first and though, "eh, it's not so interesting," til I got to nearly the end and heard myself talking. Then I thought, "WHOA - my peeps might like a good laugh!"
Ooooweeee! Is that accent bad or what! I hate to hear myself on audio! (scratching my foot - fire ant bites...) Don't these chicks have a nice place to live? Dad did such a good job on my coop and run!
Josh has missed his chihuahua, Bug! He loves this little pooch. Lindsey just shakes her head. But she's got a kitty-cat, Alice, that she is crazy about so I guess they're even (remember Alice? She used to live here with me...). Bug was so glad to see Josh, too! I was really hoping that nothing would happen to her before they got home from New Zealand. She's about 13 now and is having problems getting around.
Bug was so excited to see Josh, too!
Well, y'all have a great Thursday - I've got some more tomatoes to process into spaghetti sauce today, and a few more pickles to make before the cucumbers turn to mush. Take it easy on yourself! Sending you all a BIG HUG from BUG!

You will be happy to know this Oregon gal doesn't think your accent is all that bad. I enjoyed your chicken video and the cute picture of Josh and Bug!! Have a great day!!!
Set another place at the table. I'm flying in for some spaghetti sauce.
What are you talking about? That's the cutest accent I've heard lately. You sound like a sweet lady. Yes, your chickens have it pretty good.
Our little Molly is having some troubles this week so I appreciate your concerns for Josh to see Bug again. I have a similar concern for someone in my family.
Your accent isn't bad at all.... says this southeast Texas gal! And, yes, your chicken coop is wonderful!
Hi Vickie!
Great pictures - I love to see those beautiful sunsets!!
You are having a busy summer - chickens (by the way, I love your accent!), gardening, canning, kids . . . sounds like a wonderful summer!
You asked where I buy coconut oil - I usually order mine online, but I have also just bought it a the grocery store - some carry it, some don't. I also can buy it at my local health food store.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Barb
That accent isn't as strong as my new friend from the Austin area. I just got off the phone with her so it made you sound mild.....Southern accents are so much nicer than pa dutch ones.
Love the chickens but really really love seeing Josh and Bug.
Well, Miss Vickie, I think you sound like you're from Tennessee!
(Don't you just love to meet someone for the first time and they talk like you do?)
I don't think I could stand to hear my own self on tape though~ let alone let everyone else hear it! *haha*
Chickens can be so entertaining, can't they? Looks like yours were playing bug football! :)
(And your daddy is the "Coop Master"!)
Anybody from the south is saying "what accent???". :)
Hi Vickie!
So glad you found the coconut oil! I love it, and use it for cooking, as well as for a skin moisturizer. It's wonderful for so many things, and has great health benefits.
The recipe calls for 1/4 c. cornstarch as well as baking soda. I have talked to lots of people who use this deodorant, and they suggest starting with only 1 tsp baking soda - just in case you are sensitive to it. Some only use coconut oil with very good results - I guess you just have to play around with the recipe! Good luck!
Hugs,
Barb
It's thunder, lightning and raining as I'm typing right now, and I'm so happy about it, I'm almost rolling on the floor with joy.
Your chicken have a great life.... your dad did a great job!
Your accent sounds too much like mine.... guess we aren't that far apart.
I bought my coconut oil at good ole Wal Mart, next to the Crisco.
Hugs,
I love it when animals are reunited with their humans!!
Your accent is not bad at all! I need to try the coconut oil. Hearing good things about it.
Well, you sound just like me! :) I don't hear an accent. I'd rather have my Texas accent than a Southern accent. And it looks as though New Zealand was good to Josh! So cute! I know you are soooooo glad he and Lindsay are home! I feel the same about Sam and Emily.
Brin got some eggs today. She was so excited!
XOXO Love ya, kid!
I enjoy listening to that Texas accent.
Your video was so cute and I hope that star got to keep the worm.
Cute photo of Bug and Josh. Looks like a chow we had when the boys were younger.
Have a great weekend
Dear Vickie, thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement and your prayers. They mean the world to me. Thank you.
Accent? What accent? ;) That pen is the best one I've ever seen. Your Dad did a wonderful job. And, I am so glad your Josh and Lindsey are safely home. blessing and hugs ~ tanna
I'm glad you got rain it's nice for the dust to settle and the epheqt to cool. I can't get your video to work on my iPad. So I'll have to wait till I'm home and can see it on my computer! Have a great day!
Hey friend! LOVED the sunset pictures. So gorgeous. God is a great painter. Glad you have your kiddos back home for a while. Love the accent! Blessings!
dang. it's at times like this I bemoan the fact of no band width. I'd LOVE to hear that accent and we've been having rain, blessed RAIN, this week...Praise GOD!
Vickie, I'm just so thrilled that you have chickens now so you CAN make videos with your Texas accent. Girl, be proud of it! You should hear my Buddy...my mother says he's the only one that can make a single syllable word into five syllables!
I love this. Your voice sounds exactly as I imagined it, really!
