I did a little spring cleaning on the blog tonight, and thought perhaps it might be nice to mention it since some of you read the blog through Facebook, others through a blog reader (like Google Reader), and others of you actually visit the blog to check in on what's new.
Most worth mentioning are new categories added to the category list. Categories make it easier to go back and read posts about particular things, or find things in the archives. You will find the category list on the right sidebar where it has always been ... but, now there are NEW categories to help you narrow down the topics.
Perhaps you want to read more about farm fresh eggs? Check out the All About Eggs category!
Or perhaps you want to read about and see waaaaaay cute photos of baby chickens... you'll want to check out the Baby Chickens category.
Or, maybe you missed the post about the GIANT egg that had a whole other egg (shell and all) inside! There's a special category for The GIANT Egg!
Here are a few other categories you might find of interest:
Chicken Fashion
I Hate Spiders!
Dexter Cattle
Card Designs
Tasty Treats
Whipper Snapper Fun!
There are several other new categories added as well. Take a look -- you might find something you missed!
I also spruced up the color scheme a bit, removed outdated links, and did some general maintenance "behind the scenes". Hope you like the changes!
Hey, let's hear it for the weekend!
Anna ... how can I read you through Facebook? I can't find you there.

This looks very nice! Your egg count is MUCH higher than mine! Our hens just molted and some days we didn't get any!! Of course, we only have 35 hens and two roosters....I lost my beautiful white rooster, poor Faker! He was my "lap" chicken! Just wanted to ask if you would ever have that cowgirl book cover back in your Etsy shop....I missed out on it and it was PERFECT! I read all of the time and the rest of the time I ride (or stamp, or knit, or crochet!!LOL) But I have started a new job and don't have much time for the good stuff now or would ATTEMPT to make my own. Thanks for your wonderful blog, makes me laugh, cry and sigh!

You could wrap your blog in a brown paper bag and it'd still look great!! Just 'cause you did it!
