Harbinger of Spring

My Spring countdown clock says there is 6 days and 22 hours to wait. However last night I went to my brothers house to babysit my nephews and got a true sign of spring....eau de skunk! Although on normal days (?what's that?) I hate the smell of skunk -last night I loved it! It motivated me to order my baby chicks, which I did this morning. I ordered 15 Light Brahama's...http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/product/light_brahmas.html and 10 Silver spangled Hamburgs... http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/product/silver_spangled_hamburgs.html and 5 Blue Andalusians... http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/product/blue_andalusians.html and I get a free "exotic"! So on June 13 there will be 31 little peepers!!!!

And I am even going to dig my way to the greenhouse and start cleaning it up from last year! Then over a hot cup of coffee I will plan out the three gardens. Yes I guess I have been biten!

On the fiber front I knit the umbilical cord hat, actually two of them...In a demented moment it even makes you want a baby to put it on....when reality came back I shuddered and decided I will pack it away for future grandchildren...God I am getting old...I said grandchildren.....
