Look who has arrived....

We have to start with the most important news of the day. Carson, our nephew, turned 5 years old today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARSON!!!! We love you! Time certainly does fly.

Here is some of our spring crop...butter lettuce, romaine and baby carrots.

Here are our seed starters for our summer crop... okra, corn, cucumbers, and green beans here. We are also planting squash, zucchini, several varieties of tomatoes, and bell peppers. There is more, but that is all I can think of right now. See older posts for more info.

And here is our mint. After taking FOREVER to get started, the little plant is out of control. Sorry it is sideways. I forgot to turn it.

Here is Henry showing of one of our monster sugar snap peas. DELICIOUS!

And some more exciting news....these five precious babies came to live with us today.

There are two New Hampshire Reds like this one....

Here is a Barred Rock.

Another New Hampshire Red...This one has a VERY yellow head.

And another Barred Rock...these are the ones that you often see in folk art. Google them.

And here is an Ameraucana....also known as an easter-egger for the color eggs is lays. Right now this little one sort of resembles a skunk....she is really cute.

They like to huddle, make noise, eat, drink water and POOP. 

They are very curious ladies...

And very sweet...

Here is our set up for about a month and half. They have to live inside. We will gradually decrease the heat lamp. They will stay in the upstairs bathroom.

These two were VERY curious. I could have sworn I saw Leo roll his eyes with an attitude of...ARE YOU KIDDING??? And Josie was so excited she was running in circles and meowing. We have introduced them to each other, but will keep the door to the bathroom shut tight when we are not around.

We will post more photos as I know they will change quickly. I know it is going to be a ton of fun! Peace, Emily and Henry
