The Stork!

Yes it is Spring time once again. We were dusted with a little bit of snow, but luckily the sunshine melted it away. Yeah sunshine! For those of you who don't know, unfortunately last year we lost three of our beloved Golden Comets. They were very near and dear to our hearts. It was tragic when they became dinner to bear, fox, and bird of prey. Thank goodness we have been making modifications to help ward off future attacks. We are soon going to put up an electric fence around the bee hives, orchard, and chicken run & coop. Tractor Supply has been one of our destinations for supplies along with Home Depot.

On to the blessed event! The stork dropped by today with six beautiful, baby chicks. They are light as a feather, and bring joy to the eyes and soul. Three are Rhode Island Reds, and the other three are Golden Comets. The pullets are a welcome addition to the family. Max (the Corgi pup) thinks they are funny little puffs. Cloe & Bootsy, the cats, just looked at them and then went on about their business. I like to think that Daisy is looking down from above giving us her blessing.

Evening is approaching, and time to get the homemade enchiladas in the oven.

Good Night all!
