Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

Got a surprise call from the UPS Store where I keep my mailing address - "Linda, your chicks are here. please come get them because their chirping is going to make me crazy."

Uhhh..... I was "watching TV" in my sofa recliner and the cat was sleeping on my phone.... I retrieved that message almost 2 hours later. It's my "negotiated" day off (replacing the Monday I had to work this week for a special, HUGE project implementation), so I'm at home, NOT expecting chicks at all.

So I called back to say I was an hour and a half away and on my way. And I was! Despite the fact The Storm has arrived.

14 WCB Polish chicks from dickhorstman! WAHOOO!




Now, my personal opinion of The Storm is huh? The news was all upset about this? Granted, I am below the snow line, but it's just wind and rain, folks. I've driven in worse when I first bought the house, during the surprise May snowstorm which was just rain at the altitude where I drive. NASTY rain, that was. This one? Wuss.

Although there was some sleet on the drive back... I had a stop first; I gave six of the fourteen chicks to HHandbasket. Then I zipped home and put my 8 chicks in with the Silkie chicks in the brooder.....

I'll be back later, just wanted to catch up with some substance this time!

Lookit their cute little polish heads!
 
I'm wishing I were in Maine just about now....

It's tempting, but let me think....................snow in Maine vs making my own brownies................I think I'd preheat the oven.

Nah, instead of angry outbursts I decided to make double fudge brownies instead and calm down.

Double fudge brownies make everything better.

Double fudge brownies make me realize that paying 500$ a year for 15 years to NOT be married to him is worth it.

To those going/been through divorce, this is the reason why at the young age of 22 I've decided that I'm going to be a crazy chicken lady.

ETA: I wanted to add that we've had some slightly rainy, but warm weather today. Gypsy skirt and tank top for me today.

Smart girl !

And send some of the warm weather north please, right up the coast would be very nice.
