Chower Festival and Behner Visit :)

We have been busy planting Raised beds with lots of veggies! Dave and Julie came for a week, we headed to Prescott Park for the Chowah Festival. It was really fun and yummmmmy! Last shot is Sweet Monet!! She got an award and a scholarship to her Dance School for next year! She was the only "young" one to get the award! I am a proud Auntie!!!

25 Black Star Laying Hens (chicks) + 1 exotic Arrived This am!

Louisa was very excited to head to the Post Office to pick up out new batch of Laying hens! We ordered them from Mcmurry Hatchery in Iowa. They arrived really peppy. They threw in one free exotic! "one of these things is not like the other!"

We set up brooder and hooked up the heat lamp and the fun began. Louisa took almost every one of them for a tour of the barn! I had to keep reminding her not to kiss them. Chet was all giggles and not quite ready to hold one on is own yet!

Black Fly season is almost over!!! Phew!

Neat Clouds!

A Beautiful Spring Twilight.

After getting both kids to sleep, I looked out over the lake. The trees were blanketed by a light mist, highlighting the tender new soft green leaves. It was beautiful. If only I could have the song of the Wood Thrush playing for you then you could get the full effect ;)
