We are looking for native shrubs and trees to go along our fence line and stumbled upon a tree farm not too far from us.
It was well kept and there was a cat and lots of chickens running around under our feet while we priced trees.
Of course, being budget minded we are keeping our eyes open for ways to get free trees and there is land along our lane that has quite a number of baby cedars that grow to quite decent heights…
I wonder if anyone would apprehend us if we took our shovels and started digging?
As we were leaving the tree farm I tripped over an adorable silky hen and asked the owner,
“Do you sell your eggs?”
“Oh yes we do! I’ll give you a dozen,” said Laurie, “we sell them and we give them away!”
So home I came with a dozen brown, white, green and blue eggs,
They had deep yellow yolks and spluttered and popped in my frying pan on Sunday and tasted delicious.
I almost kept the blue eggshells, I mean, how many of you can boast naturally colored eggshells gracing your rubbish bin?
I’m still looking for the native foliage…
Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
