Second Sign of Spring

 

So, Saturday night, was the first sign of Spring.  The turning ahead of the clocks.  Which I love to do, although all day I really think about what time it would be if we did not turn them ahead….

The Second Sign of Spring is the ordering of the chicks!  Which Scarlette and I did on Saturday as well.  This will be the third spring that we will have chicks, and I absolutely think they are the most darling things! 

So we put in our order for 3 Rhode Island reds and   3 Bard Rock (those are the black and white ones…”zebra chickens” as Scarlette calls them. 

Unfortunately we don’t always have the same number at the end of the summer that we did at the beginning.  Last year, we started with 6 and ended with 3.  They will be in the house for a few weeks, but as they get bigger, they will free-range the yard, and at times make tasty little meals for foxes, coyotes, and hawks. 

So, hopefully within the next two weeks they will call and let me know my chicks have arrived…..now, all I have to do is come up with some good names for them…..
