Happy Tuesday

It has been so busy around here that I barely have time to eat let alone sit at the computer and type. My 10 month old is all over my house and I cant take my eyes off him. Gone are the days where I could plop him down with toys to play. Now he wants to pull himself up on everything, dump things out, etc...it been a bit hectic. Not only that, not sure about anyone else but my allergies have been outrageous the last few days. I am not much of a medicine taker, but daytime meds have been needed or I wouldn't be able to function. It is working its way out now I think, started with the eyes and nose...it is in the throat now. YUK.

Anyways, it is finally beginning to feel like spring here in Connecticut. We did get this wild and random storm about a week ago that brought nickel sized hail to town. It was one of those days where its beautifully sunny and hot, next thing you know the sky is dark and the wind is starting. This IN-conveniently happened right after I planted my vegetable garden. The picture there does not do it justice. Our tomato plants are still standing...how I do not know. The lettuce looks a little iffy, but that can always be replanted. Its best to rotate lettuce anyways so you continually have some. Besides that crazy day, it has been very pleasant here.

Our chickens are getting very big! The hubs fenced in a good sized area around the coop he built, so they have plenty of room to move. Our last group of chickens was not fenced in...which if we had the land we would probably do again, however they laid eggs in the strangest places and a lot of the time we could not find them....until months later....EEEEW. Probably about two more months before these ladies begin to lay. I cannot wait. My little one LOVES to go see the chickens. It is so funny because I believe this is his first word. All day long he says "DADADADADADAD". But I don't think he gets that "DA DA" is his daddy. He just makes noise. However, if I say to him, "Do you wanna go see the chickens?" He will reply back every time with the same sound that sounds JUST like "chicken".  You know you're from the country when your baby's first word is not mumma or daddy but a type of poultry.....! Hahahah.

I hope everyone is having a splendid Spring. If you are reading my blog posts thank you! I am obviously still new at this, but I love writing. It gives me something else to do while I stay home. Of course now that he is moving, we will see how often I can get posts up!

Enjoy the day!
