Welcome home!

by June

One minute, it's just Monday. Granted, it is better than most Mondays. It is full-blown spring. And Baby G is here to play. Then it becomes one of the best days of all, a day we dream about and plan year-round. Our chicks arrive. This year, they are six Rhode Island Reds.

Monday becomes enchanted.








Monday is a great day for falling in love.

Awww...I love baby chicks. Ours are just over 7 weeks old now and just moved out into the main coop. They grow so fast!

Kate said...

baby chicks might be the cutest thing ever!

Libby said...

Yay! The girls are sharing in their joy... And so looking forward to chick-sitting. :)

Awww did you pick Rhode Island Reds cause of your favorite Rhode Island blogger?? LOL!!! They are the sweetest things. Can't wait to hear what they name them!

June said...

Lisa, thanks!

Allison, yours are so so so cute. And I love their names.

Curbstone, welcome! They do grow so fast.

Kate, welcome! I know. TOO cute.

Libby, we cannot thank you and the girls enough!

Lisa, of course they are Rhode Island Reds in your honor. The girls were so excited because they got to pick them out of the flock. Fern got the biggest (and most likely to thrive). Blossom got the smallest and cutest. Let's hope that balances out somehow! Love from Maine...

Lovely pics! Great post about the goats. They are sweet. We had a couple nigerians previously. Sounds like they earned them. Does or whethers?

Our baby chickens came too early in spring to bring them outside as fluffy babies. But I know the feeling of your house filled with the fuzzy bodies and sweet peeping. Somehow, as teenage chickens they've crossed the line from cuddly to "poultry."
I look forward to following the saga: goat? or no goat?

Is it my imagination, or have the girls grown up before our eyes this past winter?? They are soo lovely..
And baby chicks? What's not to love :-)

Country Girl! Hey, there! They are does, sweet does. When the girls go to visit them, Clover and Buttercup run right over and climb onto their laps. They seem to know where home is already: right in those laps!

6512: It is amazing how fast the chicks become poultry (at least for me). My girls still cuddle even the rooster. True love, I tell you. The goats are due home June 20!!!! Stay tuned!

Colleen: Not your imagination! No! Indeed, they did grow, grow, grow this past winter, my two chicks. A new adventure is beginning here... Love to you in Utah...
