Today is the girls' (approximate) hatch day! Dad bought them a small watermelon as a hatchday/stay cool treat for today and tomorrow, so I'll slice it and give it to them and take pics later!
I gave Elsa some watermelon today. She just wants to hang out with her daddy

So here's a Friday (un)fluffy butt from Gytha!

The 8th (or 9th?) of this month will mark one year since I started my chicken journey... I've learned so much, and met so many great people here on BYC and especially this thread. You've all been helpful, welcoming, kind, and so fun to chat with! Thank you for everything you've done for me so far, I love you all, and I'm looking forward to many more years of chickens with you!! 🧡💚💙
 
Good afternoon everyone.

We found out yesterday that the diner was going to be closed today and tomorrow giving us a 3 day weekend.

It was last minute but mom decided to take Grandpa to Maryland. He has not been back up there since 2021 when his last brother died. The covid restrictions were still in place then and no one was allowed to get out of the cars at the cemetery. That has really bothered grandpa as he was buried beside his mom and dad. He has also been saying the last 2 years he was wanting to take a drive over into West Virginia to show us where he was born and grew up until he was 12. He also wanted to stop by the cemetery where his grandparents were buried.

We just have not had the time, and or the money to drop everything and go when he has brought it up. They left at 8 am this morning. Me and Rosie were also welcome to tag along but we chose to stay home. Mom deserves to spend some one on one time with her dad. Grandpa's health is starting to fail and she needs this.

I now have a 3 days weekend with nothing to do and no one to try to make plans for me. Well, besides Rosie who is wanting to go down to the 2 day horse show at the barn tonight and tomorrow. That's ok, we had been planning on heading down anyway after I got off work each night.

After they left this morning and I got the chickens taken care of, I sat in the recliner to watch tv and just woke up. Best nap I've had in a while. I have half a sink full of dishes waiting on me from the breakfast I fixed for grandpa while waiting on mom to get ready this morning. I get them done, afternoon nap until it is time to head down this evening.

My plans for tomorrow, absolutely nothing. Sitting with the chickens and or napping.

Rosie has been warned, absolutely no one, not one person is allowed to come up to stay this weekend.

Happy 4th of July my friends. I hope you all have a great weekend with your family and friends.
