And The Wise Old Chicken said...

don't be a bird brain and put all of your eggs in one nest box. Or basket, as the case may be. Chickens..endlessly fascinating to me in their "bird brain" way. Their brains are tiny. They would have to be to fit in those tiny heads. I have chickens and chickens have me. But, as with most things(other than fabric) I don't have alot of them. A chicken cookie jar, a primative wooden chicken I haven't shown you yet, Country Threads book "On Behalf Of Chickens", and a few other things. Not really enough to call it a collection...LOL
And I like to use colored pencils. They have such lovely colored pencils now....a far cry from the short 5 colors pencils of my childhood.
I came across this book at our library's book sale. They pull stuff from circulation and sell tables full on election days. Usually they are a quarter each or 5/$1. And I love wood cuts. So this was a perfect book for me..*VBS*..there were two of them, so I took both. I have since passed one onto a friend. And this one that I keep, I "color" the light parts of the illustrations. Not always filling in every blank space..but adding what I want to where I want it. I also do that in coloring book, or cartoons. It drives some people I know(*G*G*G*G*) "wild" that I may go through the book and just color various parts of pictures red, or purple and then move on to another picture. Hey it's my color book, right???? It's that when I am an old woman(which I am) syndrome.
So that's it for todays post, except to say, I have ONE HUGE problem with my left eye. It looks like I was in a prize fight and lost, badly! It is watering, itching enough to drive a person out of their mind, and besides that...it hurts!
The "eye guy" believes it is an allergic reaction to the eye drops I was using for itching allergy eyes. And so I have two new kinds to put in. This a.m. it feels the worst it's been since last spring. But I'll give the drops a chance. And use cold compresses in between drops. That does help dull the itch and pain. That part of my face looks like sirloin steak! And I have another dr. appointment at noon, for something else. It's a gray rainy 40 degree day here. Very strange for December. We NO snow anywhere in this part of WI...go figure.
