Isn't This Incredible?
Nature is Always Beautiful
“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” ― Vincent van Gogh
And The Big Question I Know Is On All of Your Minds...
Buddy? Ew...I heard that what she has might be contagious! -Hercules
Whoa, what's this...Smokie's on the Inside?
When Mr. Pendock is away, I shall play. Here ladies, have some more of these treats.-Big Smokie
I haz all the bitches and I feed them all the treats...
Enter Pendock!
I believe someone outside of the chicken run is calling my name. I better go see what they need.
See you later Smokie, you bitch. -Mr. Pendock
Does this make me one of the #ChickenBitches?
Yes, unfortunately it does. But at least you're not a...
I Took A Video Today Too
Ok, That Was Pretty Lit, I Know, I Know...
Here are a few of today's walks by Steemians who got out there in the world, and took us with them!

Awesome babe!
It's 2:00am and I was just going to hit the hay when I saw my great friend Lyndsay had dropped a post. I never get to comment normally until hours after so I'm pleased to see you after 1 minute. 😉
I can't believe the temperature dropped off so quick I may get my snowman soon eh!?
Great pictures babe and a chicken video as a bonus, I'll watch it later.
Is my chicken in it or off crushing the rebellion?
Night, night babe, catch ya tomorrow ❤️
Aww!! Yay!! 2 am eh? You're up late, it's great to see you, happy Saturday night!! :) Darth Layer, hiding out as always, plotting no doubt...I'm not sure what, but I will find out one day!
I really enjoy your pictures and videos. but, there is little that makes me disturbed the image on the 14th point.
That #donkey disturbs us too :)
Wkwk..
Thank heavens no one records my conversations with the chicken and quail, I think the men with the white coats would quickly show up! They do know the "chick chick chick" that I have always used when I hatch birds. They soon associated with feeding time and when they free ranged and got spooked, it always lured them back to the chicken house. Well, the chickens, I don't think the quail would return like that.
However, the other day, being distracted by the cold and wanting to get the birds done quickly so I could get back inside, I did not latch the quail house tight. Later that day @winstonalden said to me, "Wait, there is more than just Rodderick outside the pen" (The wild quail is Rodderick) And I saw the door flapping in the wind.
When I went out I had to laugh because only a couple were outside the rest were peeking from the open door, wondering, "What is out in that great world? I think we'd better stay here under our heat lamp where food and water is always on hand".
I was hoping it would have allowed Rodderick to hop in and move in with the quail, as he is always trying to get in. I saw two, a roo and a hen, and when I called "Chick chick" the hen quail came to me I scooped her up but the roo, hid behind the chicken house. SO I just left him.
Later that day he and Rodderick were sitting side by side outside the quail run. I was happy Rodderick could actually touch his little friend instead of just peering at him through the screen. But, when I went out the tame roo quail let me pick up him neat as a pin, whilst Rodderick took wing. SO, Rodderick is still free but pining for captivity, unaware of how to get in there with all the food and heat lamp.
SO much ice. WE had a miserable cold yesterday, and the waves began to offer up little cyrstaline bits onto the shore, but luckily today it warmed up and we had rain, glorious rain and it smelled like Spring!
I hope you are feeling better and your buckets and water pistols are free flowing once again. And once again, I have writ a novel in your comments. (You have your own blog) I am sure you are thinking ;)
I love your blog extensions! I couldn't live without em! Rodderick sounds like quite the "special" guy hahahahahaa!! We'll have to do all we can to not let those men in the white coats anywhere near us, or our feathered family.
I'm so so so glad it's thawing there and that you smelled Spring! That brings me hope! As for here, I got my tallest pair of wellies out, the basement is having its first flood :) :) :) Pouring rain all over the semi-frozen ground for 12 hours now...I don't smell spring, but I have a spring or three...in our basement. The only good part is that it happened in the morning before Brendan went to work so he set up the pump for me, YAY!! I hate trying to man handle that heavy assed fireman hose! Wow..that sounded bad...
I like that :blog extension. Yes, The white coats with the extra long arms are never far away, that's why I only speak aloud about a quarter of what I am thinking ;)
We are supposed to get more snow, but I just won't believe it. I'll keep wandering around planning my Garden and dreaming about walk Spring walks and the return of the Peepers. I did plant some toms and peppers yesterday, so my windowsill is starting to fill with little hopes of Spring.
I never mentioned how amazing your frozen seaweed was. I knew it from the photo before I even began to read, we had the same. And we had tons of that very same seaweed. Do you ever use any of yours for the garden? We use the salthay and the dried grass for our path to the beach each year (it;s because we are cheap but here in New England we call it thrift ;) )
I'm so sorry about your basement. You don't seem to put out, so is it the norm? Does it happen every year? That is horrible. We just have a creepy ole cellar here at Toad Hall, but we're lucky it hasn't flooded, but one side of the house, where I am keeping the quails and chickens this winter, always gets a giant pond there when it rains. That's probably why this house has a half cellar and not a basement, as it'd definitely would flood over there. Good luck with your big hose...now who sounds inappropriate? Should I put NFSW or whatever it is on my comment.?
Bwa hahahhaa!! Hendrix was man handling the big hose all on his own today lololol!! Yes, we're very used to the late winter floods, it's par for the course, and since it's a rental and the price is so inexpensive we don't sweat it, just keep everything down there up on tables.
Your poor little quail pond...would be such a mess!!
Similar weather is happening here right now in michigan. We have had a warmer mid week followed by a very cold weekend. Has made for some slippery roads today with the small snowfall!
Picture of nature trapped in ice has always been one of my favorite subject matters as far as photography goes. So pure and artistic.
Thanks for sharing, enjoyed very much!
I hope everyone was safe out there on the roads! It can be so treacherous! Thank you for enjoying my little walk today @memesteemit :)
Of course! Made it to and from my bowling league safe. Thanks!
This post is hysterical—because of your procrastination diploma and commentary on the chickens, but then that video! You got me giggling with the crow sounds and bok-boking at Smokie but I burst out laughing at “you’re a MAAN!” in your stuffed up voice Hahahaha. This makes my night :)
Totally agree @mtnmeadowmomma 😂
Aww, I'm truly honoured that you enjoyed the video :) Thank you so much for telling me beautiful @mtnmeadowmomma!
"...If the sun is shining, it's a good day"- sounds like a good mantra.
Once again, Mr Pendock saves the day by intimidating other intruders who want in on the action. Lucky for big smoke though, he still got a chance to fluff his stuff to a few of the ladies who were interested. And yes, there is just something so humorously cute about chickens with fluffy butts😁.
Nature sure is beautiful .
Have a great day, cheers!
Mr. Pendock is a Legend, thank you for recognizing that ahahhaaa! <3 You have a great day too @ubermensch!
BAM! Second #walkwithme post and featured. How awesome is that?! :)
Even funnier to see that you mentioned my second post, on second place. And regarding the whole "procrastination" thing.. Well, let's just say that I'm glad we're not doing "walkwithmeathome" type of posts, because that would've been bad... I've got papers and stuff all over the place! :D
Thanks for sharing this. Now I'm off to upvote some #walkwithme posts! :)
Ooh yeah, how could I not feature you? You even made such an impressive original thumbnail I couldn't resist! <3 <3 <3 You're the bomb @hitmeasap!! <3 <3 <3 Let's do a walk in the house someday eh? The best time for me would be as I'm procrastinating my gardening....seeds, seeds everywhere!!
Well... I'll probably not participate in such a walk though... I think I'll pass. - But I obviously appreciate the invitation. :P
Hahaha......... You are not alone in this, I am also One hell of a procrastinator but I hope to change, stuffs lying everywhere. This post just reminded me I have some tidying the do.
I am glad the chicken cuties are doing well despite the cold. And I am gladder that my 'mom' is fully recovered and back on her feet. Welcome back ma.
So, did you do your tidying? Hehehe...
I did a little ma. So much to be done but I will take it bit by bit.............
But I pray I don't accumulate much more before I am done Hahaha. Thank you for asking.
"It doesn't matter how cold or windy it is out, if the sun is shining, it's a good day"
Every blog has a special sentence that make it deserve in the eyes of readers and that sentence differ from one to one according to our different tastes and for me that sentence of your grandma is the word of this blog
I think she is so wise and I wrote this word in my notebook because I think it deserves a lot
Also I'm happy to see your bitches again in this WalkWithMe because I missed them
Happy to see you promoting my #3 walkwithme in your post
you really made my day my kind friend
greetings to you and to your good husband @hendrix22
I'm so happy that this episode pleased you @hatemmkh! :) I had you in mind the whole time... <3 And there will be a sequel coming tonight :D xo
HAHA I love your chicken shenanigans! And the imagery is stunning. You had a lot of rain over there and with the melting.... goodness... Id be on my ass about 95% of the time just trying to walk around all that. Im a bad skater btw, just putting that out there. Your chickens would laugh at me if they saw me... just sayin. yep its that bad. And nature, keep doing your thing. I love it! Thank you for sharing and for the great picks. You captured it beautifully
Thanks so much for coming along on another walk @foxyspirit :) I'm a bad skater too, if you go slow enough it all works out though!
This is really fun, I should be thank you instead lol
see his attention when he felt danger on his females to protect them he is like a man
I think we have men these days who don't have this jealous and leader personality
I really liked that
I bow and raise my hat to this rooster
Mr. Smokie sends his highest regards to you HatMan! :) :) Thank you for the support of his manliness!
ha ha..ya mee too...what is wonderful
I see you have caught cold again and that's clear in the video, I hope you recover
I think if mr smokey saw this fat butt, the hen would become pregnant tonight hahahaha
Hhahahaa!! Awww...you are so right hahhaa, who could resist this hhahaa :)
Yes, I'm still trying to get rid of the last of my sniffles, but I do feel a million times better than last week <3 <3 Even though is doesn't sound like it.
@lyndsaybowes, Absolutely brilliant post indeed. Yep... Nature has such beautiful looks. Always I love to nature if I have protect them I'll do anything under my ability. That seaweed closer click so attractive. For that best skill used. I'm really enjoying with #walkwithme posts. Absolutely I really happy to join steemit coz I've seen all around the world across via genius steemians blogs like as you. I try to do nature blogs and did small blogs. Will see more. Nice quote of Vincent van Gogh. Hercules and groups doing amazing characters of @lyndsaybowes s steemit blogs. All ones are awesome. Where' s John Cena? Snow frozen caps nicely taken also very low temperature there I guess.
Thank you for all the support you bring to the #walkwithme community, you are a shining star!!
John Cena was hiding out today, most likely with Darth Layer! Hatching diabolical plans no doubt...
Lol yes I was wondering how them chickenbitches were doing. Buddy is just rejected cause she is too pretty & talented :P Hope you are feeling better despite the drop in temperature! As always your blog posts are a hoot! I love how Smokey responds to your flattery. We can both be "idiots" talking to our animals and if anyone doesn't like it like fuckoff hahahha xoxo <3 <3
Truth spoken about Buddy! She will be the ugly duckling turned into beautiful swan one of these days, and then it will be too late for Pendock, Smokie and Hercules haha!
Thank you for being such a great example in the Fuck Off religion!! You made me LOL when I read that!!!!
Indeed, nature is so beautiful and it amazes me the calming effect it can have on one once you are attuned to it. It's cold out there and beautiful. Wow, all that ice, beautiful scenery.
I'm glad you like these icy shots Edith <3 <3 <3 Thank you for joining me again!! xoxo
Wow it's amazing to see everything frozen like this. I kept looking at these pictures with my mouth agape because here in Africa we don't experience things like this. And to this that those vehicles are still not bothered about the extreme cold is also amazing, mayb they have a way of keeping themselves warm from the inside.
Somehow I think it's fun having the temperature go this low and having everything frozen but I think you are in the right position to tell me if it's fun or not because all I am seeing are pictures but you have experienced this first hand .
I'm happy that you find the ice so special, thanks for letting me know. You would get used to the cold if you lived here! It's not very bad :) :) And with this cold, at least we don't have any spiders or snakes that can kill us :) :) :)
welcome my friend with another amazing #walkwithme, very nice feelings after seeing the beauty of nature in your lovely pictures. we should always thankful to our GOD who created such a beautiful places for us. very lovely looks these icicles here and everything is frozen, that's realy adventure for us because I never see such a huge ice everywhere in real. very lovely and entertaining video of your cute chickens specially Smokie, shared here I enjoyed your live commentary here. love your amazing voice. your all the chicken characters are amazing like Mr Pendock, Smokie, and very shinning Hercules and your Fluffy Butt Chicken looks so attractive, Butts are always attractive... Thanks @lyndsaybowes for providing such an entertaining tour.
Thanks for another amazing and meaningful comment @rabeel. I love this bird photo, it's a breed that we wish to have in our flock one day, they have the fluffiest butts!! The Barred Rock!!! <3 <3 <3
ohhhh thanks a lot, you have stunning infos about chickens. That your love. lovely hug for your beautiful chicks.
This is what we call the beautiful nature <3
I am sure Smokie is elder than Pendock, that is why Pendock murmuring :P :D
About the fulfy butt of the Batman, only Pendock can let us know how does it feel :P :D :D
Thank you so much for putting the positive energy @lyndsaybowes ;)
HAHA Smokie is Pendock's child...but I think one day he will realize he is now larger than his father!
Oooooops i did not know that Smokie is his child :D thanks for the correction ;)
Thanka for a nice walk with me again, and your your gramma who always says m"It doesn't matter how cold or windy it is out, if the sun is shining, it's a good day... She absolutely everything right about that... But live gets a little bit more easy with some heat... Because water pistols 🔫 dont need to freeze into the ground.. 😜 and some other things also... I really like the graffiti art you pictures... Thanks the 👑 of #walkwithme.... Se you around ✌️have a good one 🙏
Thank you for enjoying the writing and photos from today. The graffiti was a #walkwithme from Australia, the link to the walk was above that photo, there was a bunch of beautiful art in it! If you check it out, enjoy!
I will right now... I wish you a wonderful week ✌️ stay safe 🙏
So much love for your posts.
(forgot to write last time that i'm glad you're feeling better ♡)
Weather has been freaking nuts eh?
Another warm air system was sent up to push the polar vortex back down again.....
Not odd AT ALL!
I apologized to yar hubby ahead of time...
I used the good news tag because we are prepping for a live stage show...
For now it'll just seem like I'm missusing the tag... TwT Sorry!!!!!!
~☆~
But I promise theres a reason!!!
^0^/~♡ (So I hope ya'll might forgive meeeee!)
Oooh forgiven, of course!! HAHA It's no big deal at all, can't wait to see the end result beautiful!!
ha ha, my story, favorites, #ChickenBitches, as always have fun with its occurrence. It hurts with the chickens because it is working in the cold,
and also @lyndsaybowes in the video shows that you have something of
"flu" drinks hot tea for the cold
I'm so glad you like this series, thank you for coming along with me again on another #chickenbitches adventure!
I will always follow you in all your publications and I am a fan of yours.
I like your idea, you're fun, I like your style.
So beautiful! It is true, Earth is absolutely amazing with so much to offer, sadly not everyone bothers to recognize and appreciate it.
Really lovely post and pictures. Specially the one where you can see the ice piled up and the sea weeds one!
Please spare poor Buddy some special treat, I feel so sorry for her :(
I will give Buddy your regards <3 <3 She is a very special chicken, and definitely deserves some extra treats and love prescribed by @gretum :) :)
Thank you very much! :) Everyone deserves to be happy and loved, even chicken <3
First I want to know what shampoo those chicken bitches use. look at those shiny feathers. which makes me think I must get the hell outside to run and take photos. great photos of stuff stuck in the ice. at least its not a kid or a chicken. hee :)))
Yeah, maybe we should start bathing in dirt hey? Dayam...it might work!
ya..hmmm food for thought
Aww, thank you for feeding my godchicken Jimmy, Smokie! You're a good roo.
I was laughing, I love the way you talk to your cock. 😂 Your crow call is impressive!!
That's awesome and now you know my secret, I am part crow!
You have no idea how much comfort I take in seeing those frozen toys....exact same over here 😂 #hotmess
As for fluffy chicken butts, I am also a fan!!!
Omg THAT is SOOOOOOOO FLUFFY!!!!!!!! WHOA!!!! I'm jelly hahahhaha!!! Thank you for sharing Karen, that made my day! #HotMess Solidarity, for LIFE!!!!
Hahaha!! She has the fluffiest butt of them all!!! Yes! For life hahahaha <3 <3 <3
Oh man! You're hillarious 😁 ....who the hell needs tv when there's #walkwithme this is a mighty fine rEVOLution 💜
Ah the life if chicken fluffy butts!!!!!
Love ya girl. And, been thinking of your hubbs sure hope he's doin ok an that pesky ol'grumpy pants hasn't dimmed his shine. Peace & Love 🎶
Oooh hubbs loves it !! :) :) Every ounce of vote power the donkey uses to flag is less vote power he has to upvote himself with xoxoxoxo It's a good thing xoxo
Oh that's awesome! I will figure out how things work around here eventually!!! Good for him 🎶 it's funny more whales are not 'talking' to this donut to try to understand his angle. It makes no sense to me!! All this greed. It's nasty. 🤷♀️🤷♂️
I laughed out loud at the donkey picture! Van Gogh was so right about nature's beauty. Even little Buddy! I never get tired of seeing that little white building on the water, in the photo under your chicken video. You still have plenty of winter up there. I think it's done for, here in Oregon's Willamette Valley. We're at least a month ahead of where we should be! Some plants can hold back more than others. At least I picked a good wild salad today! :D Stay warm and dry!
Oooh that's so awesome that you're already headed into spring in Oregon...sigh...how lovely <3 <3 <3 Thanks for loving Buddy, and @hendrix22's donkey photo haha, I told him you LOL'd <3 <3 <3
I'm not trying to rub it in, but my wild salad was so good! The wild plants are so full of life in the spring. I'll make a post about it - and I hope some of the wild goodness comes through to you there in the winter. At least your winter keeps the insects from being such a problem in your garden! ; )
Nature always has a way of putting me in my place. No matter how important we think we are, nature is just a breath away from ruining us if it sees fit. Thanks for the shots of the chickens!
So true, so true @papacrusher... <3 <3 She is humbling...
Lovely content . I think we may have gong to procrastination school together.. I feel you on that. I especially love what you shared about grammas words, I totally believe that too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for coming along for this walk, I'm glad Gramma's words resonated with you MountainJewel xoxo
I can not comment anymore because it is so beautiful nature in your place @lyndsaybowes. but i like this one chicken, can i have it ???
You will probably get in trouble if you came to take Mr. Pendock haha, my sons are very attached to him :D :D
absolutely hilarious post & amazing pictures.
ive got piles of shit laying around here, too.
organized piles.
at least thats what i tell myself.
for homesteading projects.
eventually.
got a new follower from me.
Awesome! I'm glad you have a sense of humour, it must come with homesteading haha :) Thanks for finding me @phedizzle!!
I have never heard this quote before
If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” ― Vincent van Gogh
It is a great quote. What a beautiful wonderland you live in today. Thank you for sharing again.
I just read that quote today (it was on a tea bag string of all things!), it was a really good one!
You never know where your inspiration will come from
I love your walk with me’s ! It’s weird I feel like somehow I was supposed to connect with you in some way ! I don’t know why lol but we have some type of similar style or taste haha I can’t explain It but after our placebo conversation I.T was game over lmao. I can’t believe your in -12 that’s insane! I’m in New York with my family and it’s 30 here and that to me is making my bones hurt .
YAY for placebo conversations bringing connections! You've stuck in my mind too since we first met all of those months ago! 30 F is still cold, don't feel like too much of a wuss hahaha, we don't often get this cold, hopefully soon we'll be back up to NY Weather :)
hahah placebo for life bro. i have a feeling we'll meet someday and jam out! have an awesome rest of your weekend!
We would love that! :) You're welcome to join our fire any ol' night (in the summer of course, ain't nobody got time for jamming outside around a fire right now lol, unless there was a LOT of whiskey involved and I quit drinking 10 years ago...)
Awesome photos of Seaweed Icicles! So beautiful. By the way, I laughed so loud at that donkeys' photo. You have made my day. ;)
I'm happy that you laughed :) xoxo Hugs Cheneats!
Pet photography looks beautiful but snow takes it to the next level. I'm loving your blog more and more. Excellent job @lyndsaybowes.
Awe, this makes me miss my chicken babes so much!
Oh my god ! -12 degree is too low. The temperature where i live is not even goes in minus. Pictures making me to realize the cold. Nice pictures.
Yes it is incredible. i am wishing you warm days. Stay cozy
When we love nature, nature will always give us useful benefits for health, and vice versa, if we conflict with nature, then our life will be full of threats called disaster from nature.
Very nice word order and vidionya .. from smokie we can learn to always be able to live relax and call when far to always be together
You have a lovely flock of bitches
Nice birds.
I already thought about you now what a beautiful coincidence when i check feeds i found your post great job again dear!
That is a lovely synchronicity indeed, hello @soufianechakrouf!
@lyndsaybowes hello my dear hope everything goes alright with you
Yes, I am feeling great, it's a lovely evening here.
thanks for update about chicken stuff and its wonderful steeming, i like your good work and love to follow you @lyndsaybowes
steem on
Wow this is so adorable chicken pictures. In the -12 temperature you took great pictures. I love your photography skills. And also I'm too a chicken lover so I can understand what do you mean by fluffy butts. Thanks for sharing your homeland's beauty @lyndsaybowes!
Aww, a fellow lover of fluffy chicken butts! YAY!! <3 <3 <3 <3 Hugs of solidarity @jawad09!!
This is a heavy temperature drop. Wow, so much ice. All frozen. ⛸️
appears in your video big smokie are stocking charm to captivates the girl. but it looks like he failed to release his passion this time she could do just staring at the back of the girl, ooh really pity big smokie. Another very nice @lyndsaybowes ooh story so alive in your post. Thank you for everything.
Thank you for finding this to be funny :) I'm glad you enjoyed it @priang.esteem!
Again such a wonderful and interesting "walkwithme" post by @lyndsaybowes
Actualy I'm realy like your blog...
Smart and execellent work...
Wel done my dear friend...
Very entertaining. Love your hens and cock and the pictures very good indeed. I was there walking with you and what better compliment can you get? I particularly love the picture of the little white cabin. Could be there (for a short time anyway!) I'm now wondering where this is. Thank you.
Hello @jvalentine, we are located at Hacketts Cove, Canada :)
Love Canada, love Canadians and now love Hacketts Cove. Happy Steeming!
Lol. There is a place where I live and then there is you. If i start posting pictures of my surroundings, "nobody would want to walk with me hahaha" kudos to the nature and those many chickens you live around. 8 degree is still no joke. Amazed. Plus the first pcture is <3
Keep posting.
I love that you have a diploma in procrastination! It matches your laid back chats with your feathered friends and the overall ambience of someone who cares about the the things that really matter in life. Sooo, not a donkey ;)
Aww, you are so sweet! Thank you for all your support @ricia, I truly appreciate you!
