Busy, busy, busy

Well, we found some mushrooms also. Deb and Riley found 29 while I was at Lowes and then Riley and I found 4 more after I got hme. No more than 50 yards from our front door. SWEET!

Riley also picked some Sweet Williams for her momma. This is Debs favorite wildflower. She has fond memories of picking these flowers in the same timber with her grandma.
Around here the work never seems to stop and we wouldn't have it any other way. Here, Deb is working on our.........

goat barn! The chickens are doing great and we have decided to add some baby goats to Slater Creek Farm.

Finally, we had a visit from this monster. We are not sure of the type, but we have alot of this kind of snake.

This one was 3-4 feet long. Maybe John can identify it for me. All I know is they don't like being picked up.

It's time........

.....to move the chickens. They are getting big and the box isn't going to hold them much longer.

We took one out to the coop to see how she would do. She gave her beak of approval. So tomorrow may be the day that they make the big move. Their nesting boxes are in the background. That is a hanging feeder in the middle.

Tomorrow is 4 weeks since we bought them. They are growing quick.

Happy Birthday Emma!

Woohoo Party! Emma turns the big 14 today. I am so proud of you girl. I am so happy that you are doing well in school and healthwise, things are going pretty good to. I am also happy that you are such an outgoing and kind girl.

You care so much for others and I think you would be just like my sister Jill whose birthday you share. I love that you share April 5th.

I also love your goofy side though I am glad you lost that weight. Ooh that butt. I also am thrilled you have my Bozarth melon. I am sure you are not so thrilled about that but I am glad you laugh about it.

Also Deb and I are so happy that you are involved so much at The Crossing.

We love you so much and miss you.
