Something New! Show Me Wednesdays--Come Join Us!

There is something NEW here at Hazelruthe's. It's Show Me~ Wednesdays.

Show Me Wednesday's is new twist on show & tells. Every week there will be a new theme or item that we would like to see in your home. I'll have a Mr. Linky box for you to sign up on, so everyone can visit your blog and see your Show Me~Wednesday share.

If you post a Show Me~Wednesday I would love for you to please post our beautiful Show Me~Wednesday banner in your post. Just right click and save it to your computer. I would also like to thank Sharon Wideman for our beautiful new banner! You can see Sharon's blog at My Vintage Studio and you can find her work available at her Etsy Shop .

Our very first Show Me ~Wednesday will start this coming Wednesday--May 7 and our first theme will be--Your Front Door. I thought that our Front Doors would be appropriate as we enter our new adventure. So get out those cameras and snap a picture and meet back here late next Tues night or anytime on Wednesday and add your blog to the Mr. Linky list, so we can all come and visit your blog and see your front door. You'll also find out next Wednesday what the theme will be for the next week. I hope you'll join us!

Down on the Farm

I thought I'd let you see what we are up to here at home. We have some baby chicks and baby ducks and we're waiting to get the garden planted. Spring comes later here in SE Idaho than the rest of the world.

This weedy part of the pasture is what the garden spot did look like. Aren't the snow covered mountains in the background pretty. On a clear day we can see the tips of the Teton Mountains and in case you're wondering--yes buffalo do really roam that pasture area to the left--4 of them in fact. They live right next door to us.

Ta-da! No more weeds--at least on this half. It's all been very neatly turned and tilled and waiting for our weather to warm up, so we can plant it.

The baby chickies--Mildred, Myrtle and June. They are Araucana chicks that will lay blue colored eggs. Now how fun will that be to get to bake with blue colored eggs! They're only 3 weeks old right now and they look a bit frausy since they are loosing their baby chick fuzz and getting their feathers.

Then we have Weezer, Wilma and Jemima (Puddleduck). The brown ducks are Ruins. They are the domesticated version of mallards with the mallard colorings, but they don't fly. And the little yellow duck--Jemima--is a Pekin duck and will be all white with a big orange beek when she grows up. These little ducks are just 2 weeks old and spoiled already!


And this is what my yard looks like today--all white with fresh snow--on MAY 1st!! This is why the garden hasn't been planted yet--hopefully soon--very soon! And that is Springtime at my house.
