In an effort to combat the blues we all went outside today for some mandatory Vitamin D time. The sun is out, it's 70+ degrees and by golly we got out. Even if we just sat outside on the swing set for 20 minutes.
It's so strange to me how spring just sneaks up one day. It's like one day it's cold and rainy (last Sunday) and then today it's beautifully warm and the bullfrogs are coming out and making their noise. For me, that noise is spring. I love that croaking. That croaking means the mud around the ponds has warmed up enough for them to emerge. Yeah for warm mud!
-My tomato seedlings have emerged. Apparently placing the seed trays on the chicken brooder was an efficient way to heat up the seeds. As soon as they popped up through the dirt I uncovered the trays and put them under some lights. So far so good.
-The baby chicks are growing like weeds. They already look immensely different than they did when I brought them home. They have little feathers that are showing me what their future coloring might resemble. Looks like I should have a colorful flock this year. If my calculations are correct I'll start getting eggs from these new little ones in July or August. In the mean time they are still pretty loud and awake around 5 am for a cheep fest. Since I've been sleeping on the couch, (so I can sleep sitting up for drainage reasons) I've got to enjoy their musical antics.

Sorry you and the kids have been sick...that's not fun.
Enjoy your spring break!
wow...you look so incredibly young in your pictures. that's awesome.
Huh? What are you smoking Jessica? Perhaps it's the giant sunglasses that cover the crows feet and bags under the eyes. But thank you, your comment made my day.
lol...girl...you don't know bags under the eyes like I do, lol. :-) Besides, maybe it's the coconut oil, but all the pics you put up with you in it look very young to me. It's compliment though, so run with it. :)
