Well.........today is a day that I realize why I love Colorado so much! It is raining and the weather person just said it is highly possible that we will see snow! The weather in Colorado is always changing & surprising.. So the first order of business this morning was to check on the baby chicks & make sure that the heat lamps were turned on........they are still babies after all!! There are many reasons that the rain is good news........free water for all of the plants here on the farm, the rain water always washes the surface of everything giving it a new clean look, & my favorite reason for the rain today is that I can take a break from helping Papa Medina in the yard. I helped him all day yesterday and today I am more that a bit sore for over doing it yesterday. Its been years since the fitzer bushes have been trimmed, pruned, and cleaned so that has been my focus. It is starting to look great and I am looking forward to planting flowers in the new open spaces created by cutting the bushes. Still lots to do in the yard but it will not be accomplished in a few days but more than likely will be an ongoing summer project. Still have to plant the garden......hope to do that in the next few days. Also planning on painting the iron furniture......tables & chairs will be black, the smaller tables will be a variety of fluorescent green, pink, & yellow........just to add a bit of whimsical fun to our patio!!
The baby chicks are doing great even though we have lost 3 to date. I don't think we should loose any more as they all seem very established and perky. They are so adorable and it always amazes me at the rate at which they get their feathers and grow. I need to remember to take some more photos to document their short infancy stages!
