Our Country Life in the Big City

Today has been good, busy but good.  We started out the day early as Hannah had to be at the therapist at 9.  David usually feeds the chicken some scratch feed when he is leaving but I told him that I would feed them this morning and they were quite confused!  I always give them laying mash about 8 so when I went out, I put the laying mash in their pan and no scratch feed.  A couple of them started eating but the rest of them just looked at me like "Where is Dad with the good stuff?".  I went in, checked the hen house (I have a couple that lay around 6) and came back out.  They were still staring at me.  I had the scratch in a pitcher in my hand and one of the girls jumped up and tried to knock it out of my hand.  She is my oldest (4) and knew what I had.  I threw just a little on the ground and they stared at me like "AND???".  I dumped it all out and they decided I might just be ok.  I planted some new seeds Monday and I had to spray them.  We had been getting up into the 80's and are back into the 40's now in the am.  This will slow germination a bit.

When we got back from the therapist with Hannah, the allergist with Elizabeth, and Sam's (the kiddos think I need corndogs for my birthday-something we never eat) I went in to check on the girls and still no eggs.  I think I made them mad this morning. 

Elizabeth gave me a beautiful rose named "Elle".  It looks almost like a Peace rose but smells so so very awesome!  I can't believe the aroma of this rose.  Now I have to figure out where to plant it, I can't wait.

I have a friend taking me to lunch tomorrow, that will be fun.  We haven't seen each other in quite a while. 

Well, I am off now to clean up some and fix lunch.  We have church tonight so we will be celebrating my birthday with my parents tomorrow.  Tonight, we are having corn dogs, french fries, and strawberry shortcake (the kiddos planned the menu) for birthday dinner.  I always make them eat healthy so they like to splurge on special occasions and I had told them they could plan this one.  What fun!
