A sunny day here this morning on the homestead. I've now decided to butcher some of the flock this week. To minimize eggs, cut feed cost, and enjoy some local organic chicken. Recently some of the chickens have been pecking at one another with less daylight. The rooster was actually bleeding at his tail feathers, from the hens actually pecking at him. Some of the hens are molting so those ones are probably going to go. Looks like I'll be enjoying chicken strips with honey mustard sauce soon!

One of my favorite and most memorable marathons I ever ran was the Akron marathon. This was my first marathon I had ever ran. I ran it with my best friend Jennie. We had so much fun together, and I always will remember that first marathon. I since have ran many more races, but the first race will always be the most memorable.

I miss your smile and seeing you.
I will always love you.
​Happy Birthday.

I sent this Bluebird tree slice magnet off this week to a customer from Etsy that lives in Pennsylvania!  Thanks so much for the order and I hope it brings happiness!

I completed these 2 Great Blue Herons today.

Some of my most recent artwork.

I finished this keepsake box today with wood burning and acrylic paint this morning.  I like how it turned out and look forward to making more keepsake boxes to sell!  This will be available sometime in the near future at The Marketplace Mall.  I will make a post when I stock The Marketplace Mall with the different keepsake boxes I'm making, as I am still working on the display.  Meanwhile you can still stop in and see my booth and buy some of my Artdoorsman Spin Flies, Magnets, and Wall Decor Artwork!
