You have got some amazing stuff going on in your backyard. Don't you just love double yolks? We've gotten a few from our hens too- I have no idea who's laying them, though. And really, your hens are so gorgeous! There's so much to be said for healthy, happy chicks, and thankfully, healthy, happy chicks take lots of dust baths, which are hilarious to watch!<br /><br />Your garden's beautiful, and so are you and Clover!

I love ...Oh, Missa, how is even your clutter cute!? I love this post. I love this day and all your telling pictures. I'm thinking we live very similar lives as far as the rotating kiddie crews storming in and out of the house is concerned. Makes keeping things tidy almost impossible, right? I struggle with it on a daily basis seeing that sweeps of kids ride in from hour to hour expecting snacks, attention, games, and sometimes even baths! But, I totally agree that, at times, I feel a kind of creative pride in seeing the mangled mess these filthy little beings leave behind. Like life is ripe and happening here in a home we created. OR, maybe we are just dreamy souls searching for ways to avoid looking at the fact that we live (by force) in messy homes? Either way, to embrace it is the only way...<br /> <br />I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed your comments to Milla's simple living post. I agreed with them all and found the entire thread a delightful dive to take on a Sunday night. <br /><br />Looking forward to some Easter pics. and your outfit choice for the occasion. xxMrs. Habithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433750570342329609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708635780557529859.post-13954537871181344522011-05-01T07:39:58.057-07:002011-05-01T07:39:58.057-07:00what a wondeful sunday!
