I am in trouble!




My old buddy Kim got on me today for not being a responsible blogger and not updating my site...Guilty...So here is the low down. We are currently raising 2 baby chicks. Carter's class hatched them and we offered to adopt 2 of them. Our friend Scott, also has 2. We are taking all 4 up to the farm to join Grandma's new flock. She has a refurbished chicken house for her brand new chicks that she is raising for eggs. Carter named his chickens Fluffy and Mr. Feathers. Can you just imagine that trip to WY... 3 kids, a dog (because Champ goes everywhere) and 4 chickens. Oh my, a travelling zoo!

We put them in a box in the laundry room with a heat lamp and a screen for a lid to keep out Dogs, Cats and Olivia (not necessarily in that order). Surprisingly the cats have no idea they are even here. Olivia is quite content to just watch the "peeps," as she calls them. It has been Champ that we have to watch. He runs downstairs and goes on point at the box every time the laundry door is open. So again, Imagine that trip to WY!

A little quote or two...

“There is in every true woman's heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving

BOOK HOUSE from the paper of my Grandfather Sidney W. Campbell

I always think the cover of a book is like a door Which opens into someone's house where I've not been
before. A pirate or a fairy queen may lift the latch for me. I always wonder when I knock, what welcome there will be. And when I find a house that's dull, I do not often stay But when I find one full of friends, I'm apt to spend the day. I never know what sort of folks will be within you see. And that's why reading always is so interesting to me. ~~Annie Fellows Johnston
