Well, we had a pretty low-key weekend, but celebrated Mother's Day with Marcy by visiting the Farmer's Market Sunday morning and getting some fresh strawberries, more yummy hummus and pita bread, some peppermint and spearmint to add to our garden, and other fresh veggies and fruits. Marcy decided she wanted to cook a roast chicken (no, not one of ours yet, they live on....although, if those Americana's don't start popping out some eggs, we may have to roast one of them!), so we stuffed ourselves with chicken and stuffing as well as lettuce cut from our garden, and Scott made some biscuits from scratch! Cal was Top Chef Desserts and made us strawberry shortcake topped with farmers market fresh strawberries, ice cream and dripping with chocolate sauce! I won't need to eat for a week! I felt like I was the one who was stuffed, not the chicken! What a wonderful meal...
The little chicks are getting bigger every day. They are growing out of their cute fuzzy stage and getting lankier and now are starting to get their feathers. The Little Brahma's even have tail feathers already, and boy do they live up to their name, they stand head and shoulders (do chickens have shoulders??) above the rest, even though they are actually slightly younger...We pick them all up daily and they are getting braver. So, they may be the next to be roosting on Scott's head when they get to get out in the Chicken Palace Gardens..!
Sedonia and Mocha are comfy in their humble abode, and apparently we have foiled Sedonia's escape plans for the time being, but we have seen Shawshank Redemption, we know...she's probably just biding her time to make her great escape!
The Three Amigas (Jewel, Rosie and Ginger) thanked Cal for dragging the arena so they could have a nice and smooth napping area...Saturday Ginger was in the middle of the arena just lounging away. But don't worry Cal, Ben and I rode in it and enjoyed it as well, adding our footprints as well.
Little DP is at the vet's, its his time to "lose his masculinity"...we are keeping our fingers crossed all goes well and he can be back with his old friend Rio in no time...Rio, you better eat up now! Champ and Ben have become good buddies too, I think it's the first time I have seen Champ give up controlling interest of the hay! He and Ben have a mutual understanding I guess, which makes me happy...as long as I don't see any new bite marks, we are happy campers!
