Chicks and followers...

This past week I have noticed I have lost a few followers. If you are not going to follow my blog anymore, that is fine, just let me know in a comment. I have no idea who stopped following and I am kind of curious :). Anyway here are some new pictures! Sweet little Aretha. I think she will be a photographer when she grows up-she kept pecking the camera!
Here is Hillary with some chick fluff still left...
And Rosalynn investigating my skirt. Dad is working on an addition to our coop so we can move the little chicks in to it. We can't mix the older chickens with the young chicks. That would be a lot of pain on the younger chicks part :). Thank you for following my blog and commenting! This new following fiasco has made me realize how much I like getting comments from you! So thanks again!

old time chicks...

I felt like using the monochrome filter today.

Creativity at work!

On Friday my friends and I went crazy with the paints and made this awesome shirt! We went out to eat afterwards and the shirt was still wet and I got some on the seat belt. Anyway it is really amazing. To get more details go here. Little Ladybird got a little irritated during the photo shoot. For future notice, the next post will be about what I did with my creative energy today!

Yeah, we're hip!

Here is a quotation from All Things Considered:

Chickens aren't just for farms anymore. That's right — urban hens are hip. Across the country, city dwellers — attracted by the idea of having fresh eggs, a new hobby or even unique pets — are keeping flocks.


Awesome, huh? Our neighbors just got them too!

Growin' up

Here are some more pics of Eleanor from yesterday, I love her stripes, they are going to be beautiful when she is full grown.

All of the chick fluff is gone, although Hillary and Dolley still have a little. I think it will be gone by next week. Thank you for reading my blog! I really appreciate all of you!

Striped wonder

Today was beautiful, or Il fait beau in french, and I spent the afternoon running around outside. I had an awesome tennis party and they had a karaoke machine! I sang three songs with Anna, Lilia and Kate! It was awesome, and I was glad when some JV people came up to join the fun. Anyway, here are some great pics of Eleanor!
Today is awesome and tomorrow will be even better(right, Anna)!
