Chick love...



The new girls are here and have settled in.
The sounds of little peeps ring once more at my humble homestead.
It's chick love.......
I'm smitten.....


On an entirely different note, Shane, our 15 year old, became very ill yesterday.  We've been to the vet and are still waiting on some interpretations of the tests they ran today, but, I have a heavy feeling in my heart about this. 

Please keep Shane the Ruler in your thoughts.  He's having a rough spot.

Quite honestly, after I picked the chicks up this afternoon, all I could think about is the circle of life.  Theirs just beginning as another one may end.  I know this song, but, it doesn't make it any easier.

  1. Oh dear I don't like the sound of things for poor old Shane but he is 15 after all. At least with pets you can do the right thing and ease their way.
    Thinking of you.
