Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

[Smokerbill]

This afternoon I stirred around the rotted woodchips that the chicks are living on, made some big hills and valleys (to them, anyway) to explore.

One of them found a little earthworm a couple inches long.

Chickens are stupid from the hatch.

First thing it did was start running around, starting the keep-away game, and signaling to the others she had something to hide. Luckily, she kept it until she felt safe to swallow the thing.

Why don't they just play it cool. Pick up the worm then calmly swallow it. None of the others would have a clue that they missed out.

Got my tomato starts moved into seed cells, along with a dozen more bok choi plants. And finished mowing the yard.

I tend to take heat away when birds have feathered.
I bought a bonsai seed for a mandarin orange tree.
Planted it in bigger pot I had.

The chicks came outside today. Cooper is very sweet hanging out at the fence line with them.

I'm going to start giving the chicks few ounces of starter crumbles mixed with water every morning to cut down on waste. Dry crumbles end up getting lost in the woodchips. They eat the moist crumbles like it's a treat.

Cleaned and refilled the big girls' water bucket. I screwed up and let it go empty this morning.

I raked up several piles of grass clippings from mowing yesterday. I'll used them to mulch the garden today after I pull out all the little weeds.

We are headed to see DH today.

The chicks wandered back into the coop on their own. They are acting like big girls now. So much fun watching them grow.

I ran the weed eater for 90 minutes today, got a good workout. I might have energy later to rake up the piles of grass in the yard and move them nearer to the raised beds for mulching.

Got a pot of beans cooking with celery, chives, pork and spices. Might bake a loaf of bread in the machine to go with the beans.

Ah, DH is mowing the lawn today, second time this year. He used the weed eater last week. Not sure if he will today.

I'm having a cooking day. Making Guyanese Pepperpot now and will make an egg casserole later that needs to refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours before baking. Then later I'm making smothered burritos for dinner. If I have time, I'll fit in making a couple dressings, but may leave that until tomorrow. We have enough until then.

We got home about 7 again called into Nachos they have become friends.
She was upset only two orders I told her he is in the hospital just now.

How is he doing?
