Chicken coop and ducks are growing.

Oh my goodness these things grow so quick.They have also taken up most of our time. We built the coop and bought a pond. We also fenced in the yard.

I will say that I would not have bought the two ducks if I had known how much work they would be, but they are fun. We are trying to figure out how to keep the ducks in the coop without being messy. They have wonderful personalities and the kids love them. Chickens are easy the ducks not so much!

A learning experience and a great Spring progect for CG and SA.

What we have been doing.

We have been so busy.... and my computer is broken. I am able to use my old one. It has no memeory and is very slow.  This Spring has been busy and is only getting busier. The kids are starting their first sport. They really wanted to try baseball. We aslso have watercolor classes with a local artist, our writing group is going werll, and spring planting has started. The school year is still going well and we continue right through summer.

Oh Yeah, chickens. We have made a chicken brooder and Adventure Academy Dad will be making a chicken coop. We will recieve our chickens in May so we want to be prepared. Buff Orpingtons are what we chose after much research online. We also ordered one Swedish duck and one Indian Runner duck.  Backyard Chickens  is sooooooo helpful.  We visited a friend and held some baby chicks, they are so sweet. We are very excited to start this new adventure. We are going to measure them each week to see how fast they grow. I see tons of learing heading our way!

Garden     Last year my sister gave me a rhubarb plant and it didn't make it. So I thought....this year it is coming up. I was so excited to see it. So far we have planted peas, carrots and radishes. Our garden planting continues.

Thank You To Kelly at Happy Whimsical Hearts for the beautiful door that we received in the mail. What a wonderful artist!
