Hi y'all! I'm a single mom to a Senior boy. He'll be graduating May 24th. Supposedly going to college or he'll be finding a new place to live. And a daughter that has been doing dual enrollment her entire highschool career and she's a junior. I'm just trying to convince her she's not grown.
My boyfriend of 2 1/2 years is a wounded warrior. He broke his back in Desert Storm after serving 16 years in the Air Force as an airplane engineer. He actually bought me the chicks as a project. He loves eggs and eats them every single day.
So, now I have a dozen chicks to raise, and I love them to pieces. They are the cutest things ever. Even more cute than my white cat Daisy. Who I love to death. She helped me recover when I lost my greyhound last October. She stays at my house with our 2 other cats. And the chix are at Rick's. We just moved them to a larger "brooder". We are using a large kennel. They are about 2 weeks old now. We have a mix. I wanted Isa Browns the most. Then Rick picked out a bunch more. I know there's 4 New Hampshire Reds. The other 4 I'm not sure about, much less what their sex is. I find it so relaxing just to watch them.
I also love to garden. I find it very relaxing as well. I am relatively new to it. I've had mostly flowers in pots for the past 2 years and a few veggies. But this year's I'm trying to start everything from seeds and I want a raised bed, but Rick is busy with lots of other projects. And I don't think I can afford to buy them. My seeds are doing great!
I'm so glad I found a community to help with this new venture!
