Spring has almost sprung.

Is it just me or was that the longest winter e-v-e-r? So happy that Spring is almost here. I have seen the signs everywhere. Geese are on the move. I have seen those perdy little cardinal birds flying about and lots of skunks squished on the road. *deep breath* Ahh. The sweet smell of Spring.

I am so happy that it's Friday, though I do have a ton to get done today. Cleaning the entire house (Please put me out of my misery. I beg of you!), decorating for my step-daughter's 15th birthday party, baking a cake, and making the dinner that she requested....which is a pain to make.....chicken croquettes. But I am a dutiful step-mombie and I will make 'em for her.

I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted. I told ya...I am a total scatterbrain. Not to mention, my life really isn't all that exciting. Stressful but not exciting.

We did pick up our new family members last night. 10 little Rhode Island Red chicks.

Aww. They are so cute. We have raised chicks before, and it is a total pain in keester. However, I would rather hand-raise them than buying older birds. You never know what you are getting with an older bird, and it's important that they will let us handle them. Now, we need to figure out what to do about a bigger coop! Our rooster, Early, will be happy about having 10 new girlfriends (when they are old enough, of course). He has been a bachelor since a raccoon took out our last flocks. (RIP Ladies). 

Well, I have goofed off long enough. I would much rather sit here and type a bunch of random nonsense about my life, but I gotta get to gettin'.
