chillin' with my peeps

Well, I guess we can call it McCalico Kat's Farm these days! After adding a dog, we have now built a chicken house and filled it with two chickens - Marigold and Hazel. No pix yet, but I'll get some and post when I do.

They have settled in very nicely and seem to like their home. I'm hanging out at www.backyardchickens.com and learning everything I can about making my girls happy and keeping them healthy. Maggie and I pulled a lawn chair up to their run last evening to sit and watched them pecking around in there. It's amazingly peaceful and relaxing -- who knew? I also got a dozen strawberry plants set out in the larger of two raised beds in our yard. Some might not make it, but 5 of them look fabulous! Don't know if they'll produce their first year, but we're crossing our fingers.

Mom and Jim were here for dinner last night, and headed home to Florida today. We had a nice visit, and the girls got to spend the night with Gr'ma at the hotel last Saturday night so they were thrilled.

Saturday afternoon, Max took Gr'ma and I to see "Riverdance" --- ok, he bought the tickets, I drove the car ;) It was fabulous! Mom had seen it in New York and said this production was just as good, and the soprano singer was even better! It was just fantastic and we enjoyed ourselves.

Today, the license branch - oh, joy and rapture. My plates need renewed and I need a new license. Should be a great time, ha ha. If I don't make it back here, someone please come call my number at the BMV, ok?
