Beautiful!

Our weather here has been unpredictable here too. Warm one day and cool the next......today we've been horribly windy!!! If it's windy here at my house up in the trees then it's really windy when you get down to the road!!

I had planned to go out and work in the flower beds but I watched the wedding, then Jaci came over, and then Kera was here to help me clean out my closet.......so I didn't even make it outside.

Oh....and we have baby chicks and ducks!!! Damon and Dae Lynn wanted some and I guess, we wanted some.......but I have no idea where we're going to put them because we have no outside buildings!!!! I guess we'll see!! Anyway, I have one little chick that's crippled.......so he's on the kitchen bar with a couple of buddies!!! He's eating and drinking but can't stand up....poor little guy!!!

It's windy here too. Yesterday wasn't too bad, but today it's very windy and it makes it feel cold outside. I my way to town this morning I saw so many people out on their lawn mowers with winter coats on...lol. We've had so much rain that you have to mow whenever there is some dry time, the grass grows so fast.

I would like to put a few flowers out too, but too hard to work in mud...lol. The way it's going it will be the middle of May before it's dry enough.

Diana...I'm so glad you didn't have the chicks and ducks when I was there. I am so afraid of them, can't believe you have them on the kitchen bar...lol. You're going to spoil them huh? What do the Yorkies think of them?

Awww! Poor little chick! They must be happy, living in the house, and getting plenty of food. They are so soft when they're babies too!

LOL! I was at the feed store today and there was LOTS of baby chicks (for sale). They sound so cute when they are all huddled together peeping away!

When Gary and I were first married, we rented a place in the country with a barn. We bought 100 baby chicks and raised them. It was pretty interesting. We had a big line party when it came time to (ahem) put them in the freezer. We had a catcher, a wringer, a dipper, a plucker, a singer, a washer, and a bagger. The whole family came over to help.

A singer? Did he sing songs, or is that a chicken job? I would think a fiddler would be appropriate.

Several friends up here have farms and sell organic chicken and eggs. I can get organic beef from a couple of them too. We are very food lucky here!

Diana! when I typed that, I knew someone would think that we had a singer. I didn't know how to type anything different to mean that someone had to singe the pinfeathers off after plucking!

LOL! Only a country gal would figure that one out!
