I'm wishing each one of you an "EGGCEPTIONAL" week. Many of my blogging friends are raising chickens...some for the first time.
I invite you to tag along...Please enjoy this Farm Fresh post.

| My sweet Mother and sister, Patti... 1940s Yamhill County, Oregon |

| Country Life at it's best! |
 |
| Farm Living... My grandparents had a farm in Green Acres, Oregon. |
 |
| I love vintage chickens! Sweet Paula of "Sugar Sweet and Pink" blog gave me the white rooster. I found the small salt and peppers thrifting. |
 |
| My husband loves helping me with the dishes. Can you see why? Have a great week, my sweet friends. Blessings, Carolynn xoxo "He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." Psalm 91:4 |

Afternoon, loved the chicken post....I sure would like to have a few chicks, mmmm fresh eggs would be lovely.......Such a great old picture of your Mom and Sister.......Enjoyed very much, have a great day, Hugs Francine.
My neighbor sells eggs from her chickens, but we have yet to try them. I like the photo of your Mom and sister! I enjoyed this cute post and the signs! Have a happy week!
I love farm fresh eggs, nothing tastes better. That picture of your Mom and sister is adorable! Yep, I can see why hubby helps with dishes!

There's nothing that taste better than a farm fresh egg! And what a sweetie your hubby is to help you! I love all of your pretty things in your kitchen. I don't collect chickens but it's hard for me to pass up a cute vintage chick!
What a wonderful post for chickens and eggs. Some great pics from times gone by. Hope you have a great week.
There is nothing nicer then a fresh egg for breakfast.
No Way - Ramona! I am from Ramona! My entire family lives there, except for my children. We moved to the desert because hubs got a job as a firefighter in the desert. Now, I am 1/2 way between Ramona and the desert! Oh, gosh - I would have loved to meet you in person when you were out this way. I also hope to have a chicken house soon! And, I think a cute sign would be wonderful, too!
I have a flock of six and love having fresh eggs to eat. Loved your chicken post. Do you live in Oregon? I know a little of the Willamette area. I used to live in Oregon. Hope you have a great week.
blessings,
Danielle
Love yur chicks!! Farm fresh eggs are the best!! Can't buy that taste in the store!!
I think I missed the mosaic, but these photographs are so cheerful and beautifully presented. Nothing better tasting than a fresh egg!
That is one cool photo of your mom and sister. I've been thinking of getting chickens, but just don't know for sure right now.
Farmhouse hugs,
Cindy
I love chickens too. Yours are so cute. The farm pictures are wonderful, especially the one of your sis and Mom.
Hi Sweetie! I always enjoy looking at all of your beautiful photos! Tee hee about the sign for kisses...I think I need one of those.
Have an eggceptional new week and may God bless you abundantly!
xxoo
Oh you know me so well. I do adore this post. I love the chicks in your header too. Such fun country gardens you showed.
A wonderful post about among other things :chickens...Love the white one sweet Paula gave you, and the ones you found yourself...
We have had chickens on the farm, but after all the troubles with the Bird-flue where they were not allowed to get out in the fresh air, we stopped, and have not had any fresh eggs since! really a shame.
I wish you a lovely week dear Carolyn,
I love your green/black rooster ,too .
Hugs from Dorthe and thankyou for your dear visits.
Love the sign and enjoy your blog so much. Peace and Blessings
My sister has chickens, I don't think we can where we live. But I would like to have honeybees!
Hello sweetheart Carolynn, This is such a beautiful and happy post! I love home raised eggs... they are the best and the yolks are always such bright orange! So lovely of your friends to share with you! Your photos and images are so lovely! I love the one of your mother and sister! You have your cottage decorated in such a sweet farm style.

Oh my friend, you chick-a-dee header made me smile so very big! Love that cute pair! This is such a fun post. My sweet cousin gives me farm fresh eggs too. Sometimes I think I would love to have some girls of my own, but my yard really isn't too big. Not sure where I would put them. Love, love that red tractor! Yup, I can see why hubby doesn't mind doing dishes.
hugs,
Jann
I love fresh eggs too! My folks had a flock of Rhode Island reds that produced the best brown eggs when I was a teenager and they were so good! Blessings to you today dearest Carolynn!
Hi Carolynn! Such a sweet post and how I would love to have a farm fresh egg right now! They are truly the best!! Such fun photos, and I love the one of your pretty mom and cute sister!! Wishing you a beautiful week dear friend! xo Heather
I love chickens, Earl and I were just discussing getting chicks this spring. I can't wait, love the fresh eggs and listening to the little peeps and clucks as they grow:>)
I don't think I have left you a comment for awhile...shame on me! What a lovely colorful post! I felt like when I was a little girl and stayed with my bestie who lived on a farm. Everything to me was fresh and exciting...but to her it was old hat. I wanted to feed the chickens, watch the cows be milked, pick apples. Cathy just wanted to veg in her room and avoid any and all farm chores. I am sure that if it were my life I wouldn't be as keen...but a farm morning was sunny, with roosters crowing and pancakes on the old coal stove! Loved it!
I enjoyed your chicken post! I've wanted chickens for a while now. That's wonderful that you have friends that share their fresh eggs with you!
Thanksnformthe stroll down memory lane, eggg-actly what we need :-) suek
I never bought brown eggs until I moved to New Zealand where that's all you can get! Great photos.
Chickens! I love them!
I also love the way you frame your pics here on your blog. ♥
So there really is a REAL Green Acres! :-) Carolynn, the photos are all so beautiful. I'm partial to the one with the rooster. Have a wonderful day.
Hi! What a sweet egg post! I love fresh farm eggs, my grandma brings them over a few times a week! :) And a very nice picture of the Farmall A tractor :) ~ My dad loves them! Hugs, Holly
Hi! I love chickens and I'd raise them if I lived in the country. Love your blog! Twyla
What a fun post of all the farm and chicken photos old and new. Loved it Carolyn.
Your blog is a delight from top to bottom my dear! We seem to both have a love affair for country red! :)

Farm livin' is the life for me.

Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside."
Your pictures are great, especially in your pretty frames!
Hello Carolynn,
Oh, I enjoyed your post so much! My grandmother raised chickens and I used to help her gather the eggs. Such wonderful memories! I love the old red tractor and that farm tea set is absolutely darling; love it! Thank you so much for sharing and have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings,

Hi Carolynn
Lots of Easter chicken inspiration with your photos!
Farm fresh eggs are the best - not so easy to get in the city tho.
Visiting you from Claudia's A Favorite This Saturday!
Shane ♥
This has to be the cutest post EVER and you even found a fitting Bible verse!
I just loved this ! :)
No chickens here, but my grandparents had over 200 on a farm in the early 1900s.
That black & white photo of your mother and sister is wonderful!!
Visiting from Claudia's! Love your vintage S&P's and envy your bowl of farm fresh eggs! :)
Such a great post. I love chickens and it will be one of the tick boxes on my list when we eventually move. It must be so lovely to collect your eggs each morning. Visiting from Sunny Simple Sunday. Chel x
I would love to have a couple of chickens...but not allowed....those eggs look wonderful.
I thought about raising chickens and then the thought just goes right out of my head. We have friends that raise chickens and will bring us eggs. Your photos are just the best.
Hope you are having a great weekend.
Hugs

I too love chickens but don't have any real ones. Do love the chickens I collect for my kitchen though. What a sweet and adorable post!
Big Hugs,
