VISITING, CHICKENS AND DVDS

We couldn't drive through Georgia without stopping in to see our friends Dave and Sharon.  They built their beautiful home on a secluded piece of land in Georgia, sold their motor home and have settled in with their two cats and egg-laying chickens.  It was wonderful to spend a few days with them.

Sharon taught me about raising chickens, growing healthy plants in her greenhouse and how to make home-made egg noodles.  Denis was thrilled to learn how we could copy our 700+ movie DVD collection to an external hard drive and use a WD-TV live media streaming devise to organize, categorize and view all our movies.  We've been copying about 40 movies a day and still have a long way to go.  Technology is great.

Just love these bright red cardinals

Enjoyed the silhouette of the pecan trees from our campsite

Enjoyed watching this squirrel's nutty antics

Sharon showing off her green thumb - she gave me some aloe, chive, oregano and thyme to replace the herbs I killed - maybe with a little luck, these will survive 

Chicks warming themselves under the heat lamp - too cute

The chicken coop was designed and built by them

Chickens really do scratch and peck - I may never eat store bought eggs again

Dave and Sharon enjoying the good life
Thank you Dave and Sharon for your hospitality ... until we meet again.

  1. I used to have five egg-laying hens and LOVED their brown eggs! Some day, if I ever land again, I want hens. They were so fun to have around. They would come running when I drove up to the gate, and I loved checking the yard for eggs. :)
