Upcycled bag
An old pair of pants and some vintage fabric=a new bag for me. That's been twice that I've made something for me as of late (last was this dress). I really should make stuff for me more often.
(More) chicks.
A friend gave us 10 fertilized turkey eggs. I popped them in the incubator. 28 days it takes to hatch a turkey. 21 for chickens. 7 days in, I slipped in a few chicken eggs, just for kicks.
Hatching day and after, all that's hatched (even though there was some development in the turkey eggs) is chickens.
Womp womp.
I already take care of 70, SEVENTY, chickens....and all that hatches is chickens. Like I need more chickens!
Seriously, I'm meant to be crazy chicken lady.
A friend has had a really rough couple months with her chickens...something got them all. So these little chicks will be gifted to them.
However, for the next few days, they are ours to snuggle, which we will enjoy thoroughly. Can't get enough of that day old fluff.

Thankfulness
Today there was an incident around 8:30am with our little goat, Serena. At 12:30pm, I found she was *still* bleeding. I put pressure on the wound for an hour and it was still bleeding quite a bit.
Now, here comes the thankfulness...
1) My dad (a veterinarian) is 6 1/2 hours from our home in Maine, but only a phone call away. Although he may grumble, it's so comforting with all these critters to know that that if something is wrong, I can ask and get some really great suggestions.
2) Although Ms.Audra had *ahem* a very challenging morning, she pulled herself together and was such a helper for her little goat, Serena. She sat with Serena and me and with just Serena for an hour and a half total. Adrian kept her company.
3) The bleeding finally slowed down.
4) Once Audra put Serena back in the pasture, Serena immediately peed. Thankful Serena is a smart goat who did not relieve herself IN our house, but waited to be returned to pasture.
5) Serena looked just fine tonight. Thankful for that.

SHE made it.
She cut and shredded the zucchini with the food processor. She cracked the egg, melted the butter and dumped the ingredients in that I helped her measure. She dumped in all the chocolate chips except for the one that was a perfect little snack. She used the rubber spatula to get all the batter off the beater.
And when she was just about to carry it to the oven, she held it up and asked me to take a pic to show her daddy, complete with chocolate on her forehead...well, my heart grew 5x the size with love for this little girl.
Bon appetit!

County Fair 2016
It's about time I post these! The first fair Adrian could participate in as a 4-Her. He got his first ribbon and did his first demonstration at the fair. He worked in the food booth and really had such an awesome time.
