June 10th

Today in 1752, Ben Franklin flew his kite in a storm. Judy Garland was born on this date, and today is National Yo Yo Day.
So, now you are well informed. :)
The weather is beautiful. The chickens are loving' it. We've had them parading around the yard since early this morning.
The CEO informed me that we expanded the flock by 4 more feet. He got 2 French Cuckoo Marans. They are a breed that lays chocolate colored eggs. (it'd be awesome if they layed ACTUAL chocolate eggs!) anyhoo...... they are a bit too young yet.
We are trying to acclimate them to us, humans, the rest of the girls, and the dog.
Its a bit slow so far, but chickens are naturally curious and have that flock mentality, so, hopefully it won't take much longer.
Meet Lucy and Ethel
 
 
This is Ethel - her first selfie. You can see that her wattle and comb are small yet. They need to get bigger before she's old enough to lay eggs.
 Say hello to my little friend.
 
They have several feather colors. Black, brown and white.

and funny, fuzzy, feathered feet. (I love alliteration)
 
This is Lucy napping at my feet. I'm the chicken whisperer!
 
The rest of the girls are clamoring for a taste of the CEO's toast.
 
 
a baby watermelon
hope it does well....
 
I found this wonderful John Denver song. Look it up on you tube............
 
here's a tip........
Expiration dates on bottled water are for the bottle, not the water in it.
Who knew?
 
 
 
Gotta go, somebody wants to play.
