Yesterday's sunrise has some beautiful colors in it.
My rooster was still alive Friday (whew!). I named him Cluck Norris, since he fought the predator and survived.
The craft show is now over, and I'm up to start out Sunday work day.
We didn't do that great this year. First, I was in a different building (they use two). Second, the way the had us set up the tables was so congested. Third, we were way in the back and customers walked in and not all they way to our tables and left. I didn't sell one set, just a few things. I'm starting to put the sets up on my other blog.
Today's to-do's: repair the chicken coop, muck the coop, cut wood. We are completely out, and the temps are to really dip low the early part of the week. Then, if we get all that done, the Christmas tree goes up.
I posted the new Christmas tree ornament on my S.C.R.A.P blogspot. I'll admit, it's not a very exciting ornament, but pretty. I am still working on ideas for something else too.

Friday Snippets ~ Chicken Coop Chaos
...and just like that (snap), I was inspired by my friend's mother who recently passed, and who loved playing the organ. I have started to create a new Christmas tree ornament to sell next year. I'll have a post soon next week I hope. The first one will go in my friend's Christmas gift bag in memory of her mother.
Sunday I had plans to start decorating and put up the tree, but if weather is good, I'll be mucking the coop and replacing wire on the coop. One of these years we'll finally get the new coop built (amongst many other jobs on the list).
I went out to the coop yesterday and found 4 feet of wire ripped from the frame, one hen dead with a broken neck, and my rooster with a broken leg. I'm not sure he'll make it yet. We can't wrap our heads around what would do this. A very sad day for sure.
