chick chat

March 28, 2008
And I thought my bug was growing fast. The girls are all bird-like all of the sudden. Peep and poop. That is the life of my chickens. Dee is definitely not a Dee (the Ameraucana, the chick with the dark stripe on her head). At first I thought she was grandmotherly but now she is just a big, fat bully boss princess.

Easter day started with Alice briefly but thoroughly enjoying the new toy I bought her at Goodwill. Then I made two blood orange upside-down cakes. It was only 8:30am.

Today, I have been blogging for one year. One year ago today I planted spring’s first seeds, fell and sprained my ankle while running and was pregnant and didn’t know it. Little did I know that the most substantial changes of my entire life would occur right out there on the world wide web. I started blogging because I like to take photos and I like to write.
