Traveling Chicks !!

Since our chicks are still small, they travel to and from Surrey with us!
We have decided they enjoy music!  When the radio is playing, they sure chirp along, and it seems to be a different type of chirp than normal!!  We may have to put a radio in the chicken pen!

Our "girls" are growing quickly!



Shopping at Goodwill

After Mel scouts out 2 or 3 major displays, this is the way he finishes his Goodwill time!


Time to Plant!

Hopefully our weather has warmed up enough for tomatoes and peppers!




Spinach, lettuce and radishes are growing!
Cucumbers and squash hopefully will be soon!!

Breakfast with Grandsons!

Jake came over to have breakfast with us!!  It's always good to see him and catch up!!


Technically we had breakfast with Jett as well this morning!  
When we were driving over, he texted wanting to know if he should eat breakfast or not!  Of course, we couldn't take him to school hungry!!  The doughnut shop was a necessity stop!!  He ate while we drove him to school!
Amber thinks "he obviously knows special treats come when he gets to hang out with us" (Her quote)!!  Why would anyone think differently???
Grandkids are so special!!


Beautiful Tulips

My tulips are beautiful!

I have to enjoy them while I can!  It seems as the winds or heavy rain come the same time the tulips are in full bloom!!

New Kitchen Faucet

Since my kitchen faucet was getting worn out, it was time for a new one!  Mel and I attempted to change out the faucet.  Well, we ran into a problem of getting the bolt off that held the faucet to the under-counter bracket - all of Mel's tools were not long enough to get past the "post" extending down.
I checked with Jeff to find out if there was a secret to getting it off.  He just said he would come down and do it for us!  Who could turn down an offer like that!!

My sweet hubby attempting to change the faucet!

The Problem!!

The Solution!

The new faucet
How I have been enjoying my new faucet!!

We were thrilled Jeff stayed and had breakfast with us!  It's nice to have time to visit with family!!

Our Baby Chicks

Mel and I decided we wanted fresh eggs daily so we bought 4 baby chicks!



Nothing like resting in the food bowl!!
The one seems to have chosen not to be crowded in the bowl!


For a while these girls will be traveling chicks - from farm to Yukon, then back to the farm.
They grow up to be like the one hen that rode on the back of a truck to our farm, then hopped off and stayed!!
