About now one gets the urge to garden...a ridiculous thought because it is down right WHITE season...but none the less...
If I started seeds now, be too far along to plant for beginning of June so taken to starting bulbs.
These are from last year, March 2nd.
This year...
Ah thanks...happy to see you as well. Not alot of the original gang still on here & changes are expected.
There never has been alot of the Chant persons...enough I suppose to keep the breed going which in itself is good. Never been much about what was popular & more about what makes me happy...

Gone to BC and brought back four ewe lambs and one ram lamb from the O'Keefe Historic Ranch in Vernon; end of September.
It was our practise run to the States...gone under twenty four hours, so still just a day trip away but what a day, eh! The handforged horseshoe in the bottom...

It is winter in Alberta...exactly what the Chantecler was bred for. Winter in Canada where we, the common folk, may keep chickens. :-D

The Duece...

Enjoying winter again, the seasons sweep in.

May be cold but the sun makes it cheery.
Put up the brass sconces...put an oak plaque behind the two. Looks nice.
Took time out to add more crystals to the chandelier...still got a few more to add...
