Chicks on the Farm

So the chicks are the way to their new home. Grandma and Grandpa just picked them up. They decided that coming in to the city for two chicks wasn't worth it so they stopped by the hatchery and picked 54 more. Some won't be layers though so they won't have to worry about egg production too much I suppose. Then again maybe not.

The cats are confused as to where the chicks have gone. Haha.The orange and white one kept sniffing the spot where they were. Oh well at least they seemed to realize that we were not going to allow them to hurt the chicks and so left them alone. They were watched. Fiercely! But left alone. My mom and dad think the chick that had the bum problem may be saved, but only time will tell. They laughed when I said Bear's teacher wants pictures of the chicks in about three weeks or so. After all the chicks were going to be running loose amongst all the other ones. How were they going to tell. They were not about to build a run for two chicks. Quite frankly, I do not blame them.

Anyways Mom brought more plants in for Smiles and me. After all Smiles is the gardener but guess who does all the work?! Still she likes the plants and does care about them so I am willing to put up with and try it for this summer. We now have tomato and cucumber and geraniums to plant. Hmmm. Too bad its raining or I would probably be doing that right now. Then again maybe not. I woke up with a wicked headache this morning, scratchy and raw throat and a slight fever.

I did go swimming last night and am supposed to be going again tonight with Raven, but I don't think I'll get many laps done tonight if I do go. Last night I went swimming by myself because Raven was working. I did go to her place and drop off the thread I said I would buy for our projects. (So far we have gone through 2 spools of 1000m black thread and its only fair I get the next spool) I did cut out my black wool cloak and then discovered that the lining I was going to use wasn't a big enough chunk. So I searched the bits of cloth lying around and finally found a piece big enough for the lining. Unfortunately I screwed up cutting it out. Then I screwed up sewing it. So I have decided over night that I will have to rip the lining out and I will end up using it as a pattern piece for future cloaks. Raven keeps saying she should make me a pattern piece of my own. Now I'll have one. The only thing is now I don't have a lining for the black wool cloak. Still that should not be a problem, I am sure eventually we'll find one for it. So the main hope I have for today is that Raven is over the migraine she came home with last night.
