Thrifty Thanksgiving Table: Dollar Store DIY

Thanksgiving 

I love Thanksgiving.  

The smells in the house, the fall colors in the house and

having family around. 

This year I tasked each kiddo with cooking one item.  

I love getting them involved.  I have found they eat better when they help.

DECORATING THE TABLE

Decorating the table is always an attention grabber.

This year all I bought were some fake leaves and votives from the Dollar Tree.

"silkies" the fluffy chicken

I just love the chicken breed known as

Silkies.

Maybe it's because they are small and fluffy.  I don't know but I love them.

If you take the time to hold them they can become like a pet.

We have had some so tame they come when we call their name.

They also make excellent Mothers.  Another reason I love them.

They stay with their babies and it looks like they count them and talk to them.

We have had one mother die trying to save her babies.  One of our mommy's took on 

a red tail hawk and the hawk retreated!  We have new babies on the farm and of

course I had to photograph them.

 If you ever have a chance to have chickens try the silkie.
You might just fall in LOVE.

Puppies On The Farm

The latest excitement on the farm is the Cavalier Puppies! We have 2 boys and 2 girls. They have been so much fun! We fell in love with the King Charles Cavalier breed 5 years ago when I rescued J.D.. They have so much personality, they are such a loving breed. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Bragging rights

I just gotta brag on these little guys. My youngest and were making cookies and all the dogs came to see if they could catch a crumb. They are too cute.
