a little ray of sunshine...

Mr Sun appears to be busy across the pond.
however last week he did pop by briefly


 but alas, with little warmth.


such was our overjoyment at his little appearance
(albeit a brass monkeys appearance)
me and my chickie peas launched ourselves into 
'spring mode'
i got busy with the kitschy fake flowers


whilst they got busy with pecking


and a 'little bit of laying'


later that day, Polly kindly came by to thank me
for their new spiffy springified coop.


i thought to myself,
how thoughtful and kind.

the next day Mr Sun was shining down elsewhere.
Bingo B who loves a bit of 'sunbathing' meowed
"hey, don't go, come back Mr Sun... i'm over here"


i pointed out to Bingo B,
(in the nicest possible way as she is rather old and batty
and i did not wish to upset)
her attempts were most admirable.
however, 
next time she might have better luck
if she waves in the right direction

We had the same 4 days of sunshine down here in Oregon.. and it was way too short as we're back into the gray, dark, cold, rainy stuff that you are. But.. I guess some is better than none? You're lucky your chickens haven't been "got" by something in those woods! All 3 of our chickens were gone in one night by coyotes. Teresa in the gorge..

I was just enjoying listening to the song Sunshine by JJ Heller when I came across this fun post about sunshine in my blogger feed.

So, my eyes enjoyed reading a bit about your sunshine times as my ears rejoiced at a sunshine song. =)

I hope that you'll get to enjoy more sunshine soon!

I love that your chickens come by to peek in the window to say hello. Bingo B is a cutie too. Hope the sun comes out again very soon.

lovely pictures, and that is the prettiest chook house I've ever seen!

Enjoyed your photos of the chickens and your kitty. I also like your Danish credenza! We have a couple pieces of Danish furniture. Our kitchen table is one and the top has not seen the sun as I keep it covered. It's 30 - 35 years old and looks brand new still.

4 days!! gosh, we had 4 minutes of it, think you faired better in oregon then we did here :)
as for the chickie peas, we are down to 4 now, Pig Pen passed away in my arms a few weeks back. its been 3 years since 8 little chickies came to live at mossy shed. i feel most blessed to still have 4 of them sharing my world :)

sunshiney thoughts all round :)

I just adored your post - it made me chuckle so much.

Is Bingo B single?? I think she may quite like my dear housemate Stanley Laurel (Laurel) or Lol as he mainly gets called. He was sat on my lap when I was reading your post and wondered what I was chuckling at (I think he quite likes it when I chuckle when he is sat on my lap as it wobbles him about and makes him feel funny), anyway he was convinced Bingo B was sending him a wave and blushed when I suggested he clearly quite likes her! Theres a picture of him on my blog - he looks very much like your dear Bingo B and (must be a black cat thing) has as big a character. Anyway, poor old Lol is smitten (he'd be so embarrassed if he knew I'd told you) and asked that we follow your blog everyday in the hope you'll post some more pictures of her ;-)
Ahhhh
Have a lovely weekend

Yes we're having lots of sunshine but you might remember from last time you lived here, this won't last! Your hens are so sweet, I wish I had some! :)

dear Stanley Laurel,

i must tell you how flattered i am by your attention and of course would most happily be 'your mate', waving at you from time to time from my backyard to yours. i noted from your picture you are indeed a handsome fellow. you have made an old batty cat positively beam at your smitten ways

fondest thoughts
Bingo B

Love your batty old cat, she'd fit in well here.
It has been very hot here, crazy weather! Cooling down now, we are in official 'drought' situation, really, really want lots of rain.
