My little chicks have their lovely green coloring back, along with the pretty purple tips! I missed the little dearies during the winter (which seems to have finally ended this week).
It was not until two days ago that I was able to go outdoors without a jacket, with the temperatures actually making it up to 69°F. Such lovely weather!
A few of the wee ones were uprooted during the winter which I will need to take care of soon. These plants are quite durable and hearty! Some have grown roots into the dirt while still laying on their sides — they so want to grow and get big.
At our first home we had little chickens and hens that were left behind when we moved. The ones I have are from my aunt, which she gave me a few years ago. This year I plan to give some away, as they grow and reproduce quickly.
I love getting to enjoy God’s beautiful creation — it’s simply delightful!
Oh, those plants are so pretty! My Grammy has rock walls all over her property, and she used to have some of these growing in the crevices. It was a lovely effect. It seems as if winter is receding here, as well, which we are so thankful for! The weather isn’t entirely sunny yet, but we continue to hope that it will happen soon!
Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

How lovely!! The first photo is just perfect. The sunlight was really working in your favor!!
We used to have some of those plants, and my grandma has some. I think they are really neat little plants :-).
I know!! I am SO happy to see spring again!!! I was out Macro shooting the other night, without a jacket, and the ground was thankfully dry, because I was lying on the ground for probably ten minutes trying to get the highly elusive perfect shot :-). Today is a different story…it still feels nice, but it is raining again…

Where do you grow your little hens and chicks? (they are so lovely!) We were given some ages ago, but our old land was too shady for them to propagate very much.
FANTASTIC shot! Love it!
Wonderful…. there is indeed
nothing like enjoying and savoring
God’s marvelous creation!!!
