Spring is teasing us. We have had almost 2 weeks of lovely weather. It is doing wonders for scaring away the winter blues. The chickens are emerging from their dark cave and wandering around the yard. We are taking advantage of the sun as long as it sticks around, but I'm not holding my breath. I've been a Michigander for far too long to believe that Spring is here to stay.
We are getting ready for spring in other ways too. We purchased 3 more baby chicks from the farm store at the end of February. They are of unknown variety, but supposed to be good egg layers. They are pretty hard to tell apart right now, but from smallest to largest we've named them Gold (Goldie), Frankincense (Frankie) and Myrrh (Murray). They are currently in a pretty awkward stage, but here is a picture when they were still cute and fuzzy.
I've also started some garden seeds to add some green (and gardening excitement) to our house. EG helped me plant them and is having fun watering them and watching them grow.
We've done a few home projects this month. I painted our hallway/stairs to the basement and the downstairs bathroom using leftover paints from our basement (mixed a few colors together to make a color I liked). And a (very) long awaited home project was completed last weekend as part of my birthday present. We removed the 90's blue carpet from our living room and hallway and revealed our beautiful oak floors. They hardly have any marks or scratches, just a few paint splotches, staple holes and character dings. We feel like we have a whole new house!
We are all looking forward to Spring and all that it brings, but for now we will enjoy our pre-Spring warm weather as much as we can.
