Birthday Fountain

My mom and step father gave me some money for my birthday and I bought a fountain. I had been wanting one for a while now and found the perfect one last week. For now it is sitting on our porch but I think it will eventually be moved into a new garden area I have planned. I will post another picture once it is in its final place but for now you can see it here. Thanks Mom and Buddy! I love my new fountain!

I love listening to the gurgling sound of the water running down the side of the fountain

Chicks

My mother and step-father ordered some chicks and they arrived this week. We had Hannah here with us this weekend and when I took her home this afternoon we stopped by my mom's house to see the chicks. They are adorable! Below are a few pics I took of them.

they love to crowd together

they are in a kids swimming pool lined with newspaper and pine needles and a heated lamp, when they are big enough they will move to the chicken coop Buddy built for them a few months ago

Peach Blossoms

I finally got around to taking some photos of the pretty peach orchards around here. Below are a few of my favorites. Some of the orchards have already peaked but others, like the ones below are right at their peak now. We had some freezing temps one night this week but hopefully the peaches are safe.

Varmits!

update:

The "varmit" is named DAVID! I was telling him all about how some wild animal had ripped up the grill cover and he confessed that he was the one who ripped it when it opened it up. And to think I was blaming a poor little animal. LOL.

I just took Millenni outside to pee and discovered that something had been into our charcoal grill and ripped up the cover. We cooked on it Sunday night and apparently some animal smelled something it wanted more of. We just bought the grill over the weekend and that is a brand new cover. It wasn't terribly expensive or anything but still, I'd like for it to last longer than a few days.
