Well today the feathered kids get a special treat... We're boiling up about a hundred eggs and scrambling another hundred. We'll give the pigs some too.

Happy Easter to everyone 
Bingo! It's the roasted garlic that makes the potatoes special!
They look like they're wrestling
@Teila nice to see your chicken girls again. The pictures were great! I love tree frogs (we used to see them a lot in FL).

And the feathers he has to pull out of his teeth!
@Teila, another one?? I thought I knew where the Bermuda Triangle was - now I'm not so sure that it's not right off your coast! Storms to get sucked in there and stay there!
@JaeG How do you get anything done? I'd be standing there with my face against the side of the brooder just watching the overload of cute!
I like frogs too, and in that photo he looks just comfy! But my favorite critters are turtles - they don't get anywhere unless they stick their necks out!
Had a fun day with the kids and grandkids here yesterday. Kendra discovered strawberry shortcake. Yes, she's 6 and it was her first time tasting it, which seems weird, but I haven't made it in a long time. She ate hers. Then she got down from the table and stood next to Jenny, snitching bites of hers too. We're trying to discourage that kind of "Helen Keller" behavior (remember the movie with Patti Duke as Helen?) so Jenny gave her a gentle scold and put her back in her chair. She told Kendra if she wanted a little more she'd have to ask for it. I grabbed her pencil and paper so we could have her write it down, but she was so doggone focused on staring at Jenny's plate she wouldn't do it. Oh, well. It's not going to work every time but Katie did get her to say the word "more" so that's better than okay.
I can't believe Evan is 13 years old today. What a whirlwind of energy and fun that boy is! Trying to catch his thought processes sometimes is like trying to catch a dandelion seed. Yet he's so quietly compassionate...just goes about what needs to be done for someone without anyone even asking. At dinner he was sitting between Katie and Kendra. Kendra's spoon handle ended up in her orange salad and he just took the spoon, went to the sink and rinsed off the handle, then gave it back to her, all without a single word exchanged until he said, "All clean, Kendra." Little example but he's like that all the time in things big and small! So proud of him!
Gonna get some housework caught up today. Everyone pitched in yesterday and the kitchen and living room were put back to normal in short order, but I've got that stoopid endoscopy and dilation tomorrow so I want the last of the laundry caught up and stuff like that.
I hope that each and every one of you has a blessed Easter, that you find the smile you thought you'd misplaced, and that something of beauty will catch your eye. You all mean so much to me!
