April thus far

We've had a bit of sickness lately but hoping we are over that. It's been really warm here and we've been spending a lot of time outside. It's been a treat for us, I definitely don't remember it being like this last April. We got the garden ready and planted. It's nice to have that mostly done. Baylee likes to help us dig and enjoyed dropping seeds for us.

The chickens are getting big and they have a new fence so they can roam outside and be in the coop still. Oh and clear of the big beast we call Odin. We definitely have a favorite chicken. Big Red is the friendliest and has the most personality. And Baylee grabs that one every time we go out there. She also insists upon holding the black and white ones like they are babies. Chickens don't really adore being on their backs, who would've guessed? At one point I looked down and see one of the chicken's wings not so politely folded up in her hand and the chicken hanging from it, I was told they were holding hands and going on a walk. And I had to follow it with a little talk of why we can't hold hands with chickens. It's been entertaining to say the least watching her with the chickens. I thought they would have gotten old to her by now, not even close!

Easter was pretty quiet. We did an Easter egg hunt with some friends on Thursday. Baylee had fun hiding eggs with me as well as finding them. Of course the best part was the candy, it didn't take her long to figure that one out! But it did take her a while to find her Easter basket Easter morning. She was excited when she did though.

I love spring time! You are so good to have animals. We are lucky to have a dog! Baylee sure is growing up fast! She went from toddler to little girl like overnight! She is beautiful though, just like her mom!
