Fall in northern Maine
I love fall too although everything here is still greener than summer. We don't really have anything you would call winter, but it is still my least favorite season. It's nice to see your seasonal color.

Oh, wow! That is an eyeful! We have no real fall color here - except the poison ivy - I really miss it.
Do you know where Hay is? You don't suppose something has happened to him?
Green, I always love the pictures that you post. It just seems like you should have been a photographer...but no you had to become a chickenhead...lol. So sorry but I have indeed been busy, so busy. I know no excuses, My lovely bride and myself have recently moved which was an event at our age but we managed. I bought myself a new motorcycle, and we have been reconnecting with lost family members. I have missed all of you more than you can imagine...Honestly The wife and I took these pictures very recently here near to where we live.
Hi Haystack! Welcome back! I hope you will be a regular visitor again. You have been greatly missed.
Hay THATS SNOW!!!! I recognize that awful stuff! LOL So glad you posted,please keep in touch.What a beautiful picture of the water and mountians and of course you to,lol.Did you move far from where you were? What did you get for a motor cycle?Moving is such a big joy,bet you and wife are glad its done.Now you keep posting.Here are some pics of my girls and one boy.I did have 106 chickens this summer but sold all my bantam cochins and now have only silkies and showgirls,the white showgirl upset the egg basket and took the eggs to sit on, she was broody

Green, I love those pictures. I really miss my chickens. Can't have any where I'm at because it's a senior community. That first one is out of this world, I can't tell if its a snow ball, white chicken, white rabbit or just a cotton ball, it just cracks me up. I know so little about those beautiful exotic birds, but, really do enjoy them.
Remember my grandson and his friend that had the electric scooters, well my grandson was ran over by an automobile, it shattered his knee cap and broke the feemer in his right leg in three places. We had to take him home for in home care, for the last four months, He just went back to work. He has a noticible limp but is doing well and pretty happy. What would life be like without all the drama. I'm just so grateful that I'm still healthy enough to be able to care for him.
Hi Porkpal, I want you to know that I think of all of you more than you'd believe. I will alway feel like your all family to me. Sometimes life just grabs us and turns us upside down. I am going to make a concerted effort to read and respond more to all of you...Thank you for your kind words and the feeling is mutual. We moved just a hundred miles. My daughters and grandkids kept bugging us and I love riding with my greatgrandson. Here is a pic of him learning to ride with me and fish...He is a wonderful boy and he spends every Sat with me working to earn Christmas money.
What a great pair you are! He is a lucky young man. - Maybe he needs some chickens...
I agree,your grandson needs some chickens,just think of the knowledge you could give him on hatching and rasing.He could sell them and make a little money.I done very well this year selling mine,$700.00, I was so pleased,doing something I love doing.Hay you do look good,you are so lucky to have time to spend with him and teach him things. My grands are to old to want to spend time with me anymore,one is almost 19,one is almost 16 and wanting her drivers liscense,she is in drivers ed,and my youngest is 12.MeMe is left behind for they`re friends,school activities and electronic gagets.But I have my memories of them being little.My granddaughters live close so I do get to visit and go to the soccer games.But at that age friends are so important to them.And I understand because I was that way to. These are my granddaughters. My Grandson lives in FL.,I never hear from him
WOW! Two striking beauties. I called my wife in to see your grandaughters and we both agreed they are so beautiful. Of course look at their grandma. I am so fortunate, all most all of my grands are withing thirty to forty miles of us and we have about twelve of them so there is no lack of fun times with them. I think my most favorite thing to do with them is ride bicycles together. I also enjoy a host of neices and nephews. Since I'm the last survivor of my siblings my neices and nephews dote over me and I love it. My princess wife and I just visited two neices we hadn't seen in twenty three years. We had a blast with them..What would we do without family?
WOW Green that was a handsome chunck of change you made selling off some of your birds...I sure can't say I don't miss the birds because I do. Oh well now I just go out and stroke my motorcyle. I bought a Goldwing, its huge but I don't plan of it falling on me...lol...Haystack
Okay, if we can't get you to post chicken pictures anymore, I guess we need a picture of the new motorcycle.
Nice bike Hay, I would like to see some pics of it to

OMG, I just clicked on to see your youngest Grandaughter, and her horse. Two beauties. That is such a cute picture. I have always loved horses, they are just so majestic, and when you see that horse with that little darling girl...It really grabs my heart. I love children and I don';t care whose they are...they are so wonderful and challenging. Thanks for the link Green.
I need to pruchase a new camera, so I can send pic's of my bike and things I want to send to you. I'll do that this week....Hay
Will be looking forward to that
This my new motorcycle, now if it will just quit raining so I can ride it. Hay.
Oooooh, wow! She is quite a beauty!
Nice,I bet you two enjoy that. Well be thankful its only rain! We have 7-12 inches of snow coming tonight and tomorrow.YUCK. Just got all my chickens moved into one coop for warmth for the winter,they are not sure if they like the close quarters but they will be warmer and have a nice sun room to spent the outdoor time in this winter and not in the snow and wind.Will get a picture of the new enclosure for them
It is in the 40s here this morning for the first time and all my hens are fluffed up double their size;
co-o-o-old!
Its 38 here right now.Here are some pics of the sun room for my babies.Some are inside the coop,I think all togather I have 40.The first picture is from my kitchen window,love being able to watch them from the warmth of the house.When the sun shines it will be warm in there for them.I put the crystal clear on the front so I could see them better
Can't say much Porkpal, because it is about 55 here now even though it has been raining. 40 for your area...yes that is cool, but your a tough girl. Shuck's I forgot we were talking about the feathered girls...lol. Oh dearest Donna I heard you guy's are in for a cold winter...I was up in the North Pole, Alaska and Santa told me to tell you to hunker down Donna cause it's a gonna get cooooool in your neck of the woods...Brrrrrrrr. Hey the wife and I wanted to wish you and your an early Happy Thanksgiving...Haystack
Happy thanksgiving to you two to.The almanac says the same thing Hay.It was a horrible winter last year,so much snow and sooooo cold and it lasted forever.We still had snow on the ground in May.We just got a taste of it yesterday. A foot of heavy wet snow.Snow blowing and shoveling this morning,been up since 3:30 am.Bill my husband had to go load his truck and go out so he had to snow blow to get to the garage and plow a path out to the road.The ground is not froze here yet so cant do to much plowing will tear up the lawn.I HATE WINTER!this is what the windows looked like yesterday and looking out my kitchen window at the coop.Had to wade now up to my knees this morning,it had drifted in because of the high winds.
