Winter 2012 - Have a BLAST!

Normally, winters in Michigan are so icy and cold - this year, we got NUTTIN!  Until 2 days ago.....

Then, we got bombed with the white stuff!!!

Well, not nearly as bad as it looks here - this horse was laying down, but I couldn't resist adding this shot to see how many I could fool!

Here are the hens, all lined up like chorus girls at the gate, ready for their vittles in the morning....Black Pearl is the leader of them all, front and center! 

 

She's a 'Black Sex Link" hen, and has always shown her leadership abilities even as a young peep! 

Oh, so cute!  Just look at that expression!!!  Just reviewing her "peephood" photo makes me think about adding new peeps in the spring......Awwwwwww......

Another of the Many Uses for those WoNdErFuL Eggs

Elmyra

All of my 6 chooks are Working Girls now.  I have 2 Elderly Dames as well, one is still producing and the other, well, she is enjoying retirement.  Egg overabundance can really be a mind stretcher - what to do with those extra eggs?  I hate to waste them, and what we don't eag, bake with, or sell need to be put to a good usable use!  What to do, what to do.....?

Here's a great idea - a beauty recipe for your hair.  Holidays are fast approaching, and if your mane, short or long, needs a little conditioning, this may be just the thing!

Deep Conditioning Egg Treatment
How it works: Eggs are rich in protein, a component of hair, so eggs restore and nourish your strands. Eggs are also renowned as one of nature's best moisturizers.

1.  2 egg yolks
2. 2 teaspoons of olive oil 
3. 1/8 cup of water. 

You may want to double or halve these amounts, depending on the length and texture of your hair.  Mix well, applying to hair after shampooing. Leave the mixture on for at least 15 minutes. Rinse well with water.  No other conditioner needed!  Use this treatment once a week for continued results.
