December 9, 2015 - Last night Garrett found a random string of lights sitting around. Naturally I had to take the obligatory "wrap the puppies in Christmas lights" shot.
Miss Lilly was not pleased, and had much to say about it in her blog, The Diva Will See You Now.
I know Miss Lilly and Ducati, us humans can be so silly. :)smile emoticon
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.

May 28, 2015 - Coop Progress!
Jack and Garrett have been working so hard on the coop the last two days. Building a chicken coop is hard work, especially when you are using a lot of reclaimed building materials...which makes it even cooler. We did get some new wood, but Garrett brought a lot of the materials from salvage. When you can take something old, and make something useful and new, that is always a good thing.
So far the coop is completely framed, and about 3/4 of the way done.
Willow window...check!
Skylight...check!
Comfortable roosting bar...check!
Wood parquet flooring...check! Wait, what? Okay, okay, we are not THAT obsessed, it is peel and stick linoleum. lol
They still have to finish the trim, and build the nesting box on the back side. I still need to decide on paint color for the trim, and decorations. I am also going to have them build some planter boxes for my herbs, and maybe some flowers. Garrett might even paint a custom art piece for the coop door. He is not happy with the plywood look. I think that would be amazing!
Next they have to build the enclosed run that will be attached to the actual coop, and build a door for the run. The framing for that is reclaimed wood from a playhouse and deck that Garrett and his friend salvaged, and it will be completely enclosed with hardware cloth. I will also be planting strawberry, mint and lavender around the chicken run itself.
I think my 3 little hens will be very happy with their new home. Blake and Miss Lilly definitely approve.
Speaking of my three little hens, it is funny how they have worked their way into all of our hearts. They are just chickens, right? Nope, they are our three little hens, and we LOVE them! I even caught Jack having a conversation with "the girls" yesterday. :)
My guys are awesome! I can't wait to see the finished project.
Miss Lilly is always keeping an eye on her chickens.
"Wait! I can't see the chickens! Someone has got to watch the chickens!!"
"Phew! There they are!"
"Hey mom? Before we add the chickens to the coop, I think Miss Lilly and I will spend the night to be sure it is all secure."
Yeah...right...sure. :) It is a way cool place to hang out, watch a little Youtube under the stars.
My willow window looks beautiful!
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.
Peace.

May 23, 2015 - Best Friends
Blake spent some time in the backyard with Dozer this afternoon. Dozer is getting so old, he is 11 now, but he can still keep up with his boy Blake.
We love you Dozer. :)
Miss Lilly, waiting patiently for her boy to return to her side of the fence.
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.
Peace.

May 8, 2015 - Slow Progress Is Better Than No Progress
We had our consultation with the orthopedic surgeon yesterday for Blake. I really liked the doctor. Unfortunately, he said exactly what I thought he would say...
"Sling, no movement for 6 weeks at least. Pain medicine as needed. See you in 4 weeks."
There is really nothing that can be done for a clavicle fracture. :(
Blake had some fever today, and he is really sore. The pain meds help, but they also upset his tummy. I wish I could wave my magic mommy wand and make it all better for him.
He will be returning to school on Monday, but no PE or sports for the next 6 - 8 weeks...which means no PE for the rest of the school year. He is really bummed about that as he loves PE. Also, no cycling for the next 6 weeks either.
I just keep reminding him that it could have been worse. Everything is going to be okay.
Miss Lilly and Miss Thelma cheering him up today. :)
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.

April 24, 2015 - Miss Lilly and Thema
A now a word from Miss Lilly...
April 24, 2015 - "I am a chicken...I poop, it is what I do."
And now a word from mama...
I am home alone tonight, all the boys are out, so I decided to cook up some chicken Enchiladas Suizas, Mexican rice with all the trimmings. It came out delicious! I have to say though, it is a little weird cooking chicken, when you have four little chickens watching from the next room. All four, perched on the side of their bed...staring. They either approved, or were horridly offended. :P
Happy Weekend Friends!
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.
Peace.
