Lately...

    Last month we took the plunge!  After a couple of years contemplating owning backyard chickens, we finally decided to go for it.  Everyone picked their own chick from our Wilco Farm Store, and we ended up with 5 different breeds.  They were so cute and fluffy in the beginning, but now they all have their feathers and have doubled in size.  Ben bought a coop kit, and built an indestructible chicken run.  Ain't no raccoon or stray cat gonna get our chicks!!
    We celebrated Easter by going to church, dyeing easter eggs, and having an egg hunt in the cul-de-sac. Then the following Sunday we celebrated Piper's decision to get baptized!  We are so proud she resolved to go "All In."

                                                     


The chicks' first official photo shoot!

It was so fun having the chicks for Easter pics!

After Piper's baptism we commemorated her decision with her favorite lunch: Sushi!

Our Friend Lovina

One of the best things that happened to us during the past year's Covid pandemic is Lovina Daniels.  She is a neighbor who we connected with last March when the world was quarentining.  She lives on the street of our cul-de-sac, however after many attempts over the last six years to invite her to our neighborhood barbeques and drop off treats during Christmas, we had never met.  Now, we can't imagine our lives without her!  We celebrated her 91st birthday on March 26 and call her a dear friend!
