Who Put The Chicken in the Tree?

I live in an area filled with cherry, apricot, orange, fig, peach, apple, persimmon, and chicken trees.  Wait!  What did I just say?  Chicken trees?

Yes, chicken trees!  Brigette’s friends, Dan & Teresa were wondering what was happening to their persimmons.  Now they know!  These are their chickens in their persimmon tree! Photo courtesy of Dan & Teresa!

If I ever design a quilt with chickens in a tree you’ll know where I got the inspiration!

Counting down to 2011 with a smile!

Hugs,

Anne

    Wow I have lived in a farming community all my life and have never seen a chicken sit in a tree. I absolutly got a kick out of seeing that photo! And yes, it make a great block of the month piece. A French country or Americana theme could make it work. Take care Anne!

    I sent your pictures to my friend who has chickens and peacocks. She said her chickens will fly up into her fig tree! Too funny!
    Thanks so much for A Tisket/A Tasket (which I am finishing now) and Snowbound – only 3 blocks till I’m ready to put it together! They have been so much fun and are just darling, if I do say so myself! Happy New Year!

    Just when you think you have seen it all….TeeHee a CHICKEN tree!! Too funny! Can’t wait to see your “chicken tree” quilt pattern! :o)
    I would also like to say thank you for sharing your talent with us. The snowbound quilt has been so much fun (although I am not finished yet but soon).

    Happy New Year, Anne!
