We are not really in the business of raising chicks, but we do like to give it a try every now and then. This is the second time that we’ve attempted a full batch of eggs. Our first go was not very successful. This time, however, it looks like we will only have two “quitters”.
UPDATE: Here is the last one that came out of the incubator.
… and finally here they are all together in the coop.

We got another wonderful opportunity to watch nature at work here on the farm. We noticed that a large spider had made a beautiful web near our front porch. It was a cool night so it was pleasant just standing there watching her spin her web.
The bugs started coming around the light that I was shining on the spider…. BAM, SHE CAUGHT A JUNE BUG! Wow, she went to work FAST spinning her silk, rolling that bug over and over to wrap it up in a beautiful silk blanket.
Enjoy the video!

I don’t ask my kids to help me much in the garden. It’s kinda my thing. However, it looks like they are learning something anyway! My youngest daughter put together her own garden using materials on hand.
She knew she needed a fence so she got one of the pieces of fencing that we had used for keeping chickens out of a flower garden. She wanted it to be a “raised bed” so she surrounded it with rocks. Compost is important so she raided my compost heap. Somehow she knew that it would be best to layer it with hay and wait for spring for it all to “become the best dirt”.
Best of all she knows that Goat Poop is Garden Gold! I found that very funny. I know I haven’t ever used that term.
Enjoy a video of her showing off her little garden.

The fascination with mermaids is amazing! Our daughter has watched every episode of H2O on netflix. She loves MERMAIDS! So much that for her birthday she wanted a mermaid tail. We found a great tutorial on YouTube on how to make them so we took the dive (pun intended).
Here is a short video of her trying it out in our pool and the public pool. Enjoy!
