I have not done too much with yellow yet, but I have been making my Hexagon QAYG blocks. I guess I am a couple days behind but they are prepped so will be done in no time at all. I'll be prepping some more tomorrow for another week of stitching. I found I have a good pile of yellows, the scraps are not big enough for these but the yardage is.
This was the chickens yesterday in the unplanted garden. They have dug holes and then lay in them and give themselves a dust bath. It helps to deter mites from getting on them. They kind of look like a dog shaking when they are done!
Poppy started laying this week - the one with the orange head. As an Easter egger mix breed she was crossed with one that lays green eggs and she is laying green eggs for us. We have not seen a white egg from Rosie (the other easter egger) in a while so not sure if she is laying or just dropping an egg somewhere in the yard?
We also have a teenager in the house officially. Aidan turned 13 today! Where has the time gone?
Not sure how this little guy grew so fast into this one!
I seem to not have many photo's of him. This was last summer when we got the first set of chicks. He is now towering over me at a good 5 feet 6 or 7 (I'm 5ft2ish). He will be off with Grandma today for a birthday shopping trip and lunch like they always do. We had his birthday meal with the family last night - take out Pig and Cattle. He wanted to make his own birthday cake from the Hershey's cook book - so is in process of making that before he heads out. I was late in scheduling horses this week so Emily opted out of riding. I'm sure she will do a cookie booth on the yard at some point today. The benefit of living on a busy road. As for me - I see sewing in my future.

Happy birthday, Aidan. Our son is 13.5. He is 5'6" as well. Yes, time flies. I have chickens too. My rooster is an Easter Egger. I don't have anybody that lays a blue egg or green egg right now. Maybe next spring...
Happy Birthday, Aidan.🎂 🎉 Enjoy your day to the fullest. We only get to be 13 once in our lifetime. Great start on the yellow. Enjoy your sewing time. ;^)
happy birthday to Aidan - 13 is an interesting age and you will be seeing big changes in him - I remember my grandson at 13 and then there was a two year space between visits for some reasons or others and by time we saw him at 15 it was like we had a totally different grandson.
Enjoy your chicken and eggs!
Happy Birthday to Aidan! Love all those pretty eggs you're getting, too. It looks like you have some pretty yellow and blue orphan blocks to play with this month - enough for a whole quilt? Good luck to Emily with cookie sales! I'm enjoying my Thin Mints!
Happy Birthday Aidan! Have a fun year--
love your photos your mom shared with us!!
and I am glad you enjoy the chickens--does your Mom make ham to go with the 'green eggs"???/
luv, di
Hubby was just commenting last night how fast our kids grew up. It is fun when they want to bake the cake. Chickens in our weather with the snow would not work, had ones when we were little and lived in a much warmer part of the world. Love it when one crack them open and the bright sunny yellows greet us. Perfect for February.
Happy Birthday Aidan! Where does the time go??! I love your colored eggs. ~Jeanne
