As you all may have guessed by the title of my blog and the colors of my layout, Fall is my favorite time of year. During the season, I feel so at peace with the world and my artistic mojo is at an all time high. (Twenty-two years ago, I was even lucky enough to be blessed with the arrival of Farmerboy in October... double bonus! :) ) It is no surprise with the impending arrival of September, that the old familiar smell and feel of Fall is making itself known in Northern Illinois. Of course, it has limited itself to only a few days here and there, but the trees have taken notice and patches of crimson are showing up in town. Soon, we will be making our annual trek to our favorite apple orchard in Wisconsin. Yay!!
So to celebrate the arrival of my favorite season, I had to share a few pictures of one of our chicks that is quickly becoming my favorite hen to marvel over... Believe it or not this is Coal... My jet black little chick that is growing up to be the most handsome bird that I have ever seen. She was being raised for another farm, but I am not sure that I will be able to let her go. She is the most amazing shade of black and orange! Her plumage just hinting at the colors until the last few weeks.
Here she is without the camera flash. Her feathers are such a wonderful deep shade of burnt orange with black tips. *Sigh*
She fits into my life and my blog perfectly! ;)
