wisdom teeth

hey everyone!
I am getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow (and I am most thankful for any prayers & thoughts!). I apologize for not posting (or writing) the next part to 'The Travelers' yet, and I apologize in advance for not responding to any comments right away. I will not be able to post for a few days anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to post SOMETHING before the week is out. We'll see. :) Have a great week everyone!

In the meantime, enjoy this chicken picture. This is Bricky (actual name, Bricks) and...I can't exactly tell who the other chicken is. This is from last year I think. I also think I posted this pic before so sorry about that but it's a cute pic and maybe some of you haven't seen it before! :)

The Chicken Project

Hey!
So some of you know that my family consists of not only people, but cats, bunnies, and chickens! Mostly chickens, though, since we have 19 of them at the moment, and only 4 people, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies. Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to introduce you to all of them, since each of them is cute (in his or her own way) and fun to have around (again, in his or her own way!)...and yes, ALL of them have names or at least nicknames. We don't kill our chickens for food, but they do give us very nice eggs! And, while I don't like to eat eggs on their own, I do like them in baking, etc...they have very nice, healthy yellow yokes, and some of our chickens give us these light green eggs! (If they're part Aracauna or Americana, and we have some part Aracaunas and a couple of Bantam Aracaunas.) The green ones are funny around Easter time because you hardly even have to dye them! Except it's kinda fun to dip the green ones in the different dyes to get interesting color combinations!
So, little by little, I'll be introducing you to our chicken family!

Spring!

Hey! :) Well, it seems like it's finally ready to be Spring around here...maybe...!! :) Last Fall, and also this past Winter, I posted some pictures that were taken in that season, and now I have some Spring pics for you guys! (My brother took a couple of these, but I took most of them; just giving credit where credit is due! :)
