 Winter can be a dreary time – particularly in Texas. We don’t get the pretty white scenes, at least where we live.

Everything just turns brown.<a href="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/chicken-1.jpg"><img class=" size-medium wp-image-6513 alignleft" src="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/chicken-1-300x169.jpg" alt="chicken 1" /></a>

The closest thing we have to snowy white is Rachel’s new frizzle. He makes a stark contrast to all the brown. <a href="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/chicken-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6514" src="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/chicken-2-300x169.jpg" alt="chicken 2" /></a>

It makes me smile.

In my quest to find beauty amidst all the brown, I made a pleasant discovery.

<a href="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/blue-ears.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6516" src="http://judythewriter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/blue-ears-246x300.jpg" alt="blue ears" /></a> The partridge-colored silky bantams have blue ears.

So now when others are enjoying beautiful snow with contrasting cardinals or other wonderful scenery, I can enjoy our blue-eared chickens.

As I always say, there is beauty all around. You just have to look for it.
