Chick-Chicks and Sunshine!



I am so glad to see baby chicks and spring time sunshine!! I am doing very little in my garden -still nursing this shoulder and [yes]- it is getting better but not fast enough. I am still going for therapy three times a week.
Farmer Man has been very sick again, last week end he started having high fever and had UTI again. He is better but tells me he never feels good. I know he does not feel well but the week before Easter he helped me a little outside, we painted two outside tables with me giving him the instructions he had to have to be able to do it. It is so sad to see him seem to be so weak. I can't take him anywhere any more much he gets so tired. He does go with me to help feed the goats and chickens. I think he needs to go out and get some exercise and be in the sun some.

We went on with Easter even though Farmer Man was sick. He stayed in bed most of the day and got up in the afternoon. Most everyone came and all the children had fun hiding eggs and hunting them. We always make lots of pictures at Easter. When my mother was still with us we always went to her house and had good food and egg hunting. Well all my kids, grand kids and great grand kids do that here now. This was the most beautiful and warm Easter we have had in a long time--we certainly enjoyed the day---Farmer Man watched the kids hunting eggs out the window.

My new baby chicks are growing so fast. They are bantams and I didn't know what breed i was getting but now they are getting feathered and two of them are Frizzles.
The feathers curl up they are so cute.

I thank God for the variety of creatures he has given us to care for or just look at--and all the beautiful colors.

Love,
