" HOLY COW - I MEAN HEN ! "

We had some real excitement around here yesterday! Nope, we didn't see this! We saw something better! Miss Trixie GoLay lived up to her name and labored away to give us our first egg on Labor Day!



Hubby decides through trial and error of watching the show that the coop needed some renovations. He lowered the nest boxes, put a roof over them and built a ladder to them.


There she is..........Miss America, I mean Miss Trix getting ready to show out! Yep! That's Madame Willow taking a lesson in laying!

OOPS! Here comes another Chick Student!




Well......if everybody else is going to roost mid-day so am I !




And....then there were three girls trying to figure out what in tar nation is going on???





Even Ole Oscar is thinking what a short day this was!! That's Queen Vicki on the ground trying to decide do I or don't I go up?






Well, she sat there and sat there till the others said; "to heck with this" and got down......then she scrunched way down.......







Then all of a sudden, she raised up and "blew" up like a balloon!









Then she started cackling!! OMG! The other girls froze like statues! The Rooster started cackling with her as loud as he could! The dogs, who were in the fence went crazy thinking someone was killing me I guess! LOL! It was a Circus!









Trixie got down and we rushed to look! THERE IT WAS! OUR FIRST EGG! Clean as a whistle
and perty as a picture!










Now I got several e-mails yesterday about Trixie GoLays name! It was real easy to come up with! Miss Trixie is the namesake of one of my favorite people! Miz Trixie GoForth whose fame has spread far and wide via FaceBook! She also has a blog called Pure T. Gossip With Trixie
where she sometimes post. Miz Trixie is the alter ego of one very creative and talented author Sherry Austin whose wonderful book "Days Between The Years" chronicles Miz Trixie's life!
This is Miz Trixie now at age 83 !























Here we see just what a young and desirable beauty she was LONG ago!











Not long ago, she died and went to Heaven but she was able to escape after a few weeks because St. Peter did not feel she had sinned enough! (Now that was a real joke) While there, she could look like different stages in her life. Here she meets up with an old Beau and they look just like they did when they were sweethearts! ( Don't we hope) So now you know where Miss Trixie GoLay got the wonderful named she lived up to immediately! HA!














This is my little herb garden...............It also has a Red and a Yellow Bell Pepper plant in it but they are taking their sweet time about turning!
















This was the bed where we grew almost 200 pounds of tomatoes off 6 plants! I cleaned it out yesterday so I can plant 3 kinds of lettuce and a cherry tomato plant in it! Which I'm going to do right now! I have to take my Dad to the Doctor in a little while so I'll see you guys later!!
















HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE !!!! :)
