Our ten chicks are growing fast, and one of my hens has decided to sit on a nest full of eggs. I may have my hands full when they all hatch. The foxes have been traveling around our property and neighborhood every evening. I have several pictures on my game cameras. Our hens are closed up at night, so nothing can get to them, I hope. I have begun planting a few things in the garden, but after all the rain this week, I may have to plant again. Spring has arrived.
We had a nice visit last weekend with some of Addi’s cousins from Missouri. We always enjoy getting to see them. We were able to go to a couple of area flea markets on Saturday. That is always a good day.
