After a morning that began with Fresh eggs from our chickens. Fresh bacon from Farmer friends pig we bought. 1 day old toasted homemade bread and a very welcomed cup of coffee. We were off to the local State park to hunt Tadpoles. A short hunt at that. Once we discovered where the frogs had laid their eggs, we were in tadpole city! Lots of algae in the water close to the edge meant tadpole food. They attach themselves to it and eat. There were thousands of little wiggly black spots all over the area. We scooped as many as possible into our 2 small pails before heading back home to deposit our new treasure into the Garden pond.
My recent "wardrobe" has consisted of that green sweater and those blue muck boots. I even wear it shopping..Much to The Captains disappointment. It goes from polliwog hunting to stopping in the local big store for groceries or new socks. I like it...

Chia has been out chomping away at the unmown yard. Dandelions, grape hyacinth and violets are popping up everywhere! Not just to Chia's delight, but to the little children who have been decorating our table with little bud vases to spice jars brimming with spring bouquets.
Chia has been itching like this alot lately. She still has some of her winter coat, which daily brushing helps. Although her way is so much more fun to watch. Babies? Yeah.. still has me guessing. No movement felt yet but she does look bigger on her right side. Not as "sunken down" as the left, towards the tail. Gotta see it, to understand it.
Lil' Man has named our lone chick rooster. Meet Dandelion aka "Dandy Lion". Lil' man has a thing for lions... And the dirty face is from a day long adventure of climbing trees, playing in ponds, chasing frogs and chickens, picking flowers with his sisters and sticks with daddy, to driving the neighbors tractor. Not just a mower. Nope. The great big one that mama loves. Told you that boy is amazing. Had it down in 5 minutes.
Sweet dreams,
