Early Christmas!

Christmas has come early for Connor! He got this last night as an early Christmas present from Grandma B! It's pretty neat. It has 2 speeds and reverse. The second speed is disabled for now. It goes fast enough in the first speed... It did well in the pasture! So sorry for the wind, I have no clue how to add music, etc.



Facebook

So one of the trends on Facebook lately has been to post pictures with words/quotes. Some are stupid, some are downright funny and some just make you think.

Updates

Our Chick-fil-a opened last week! We went for opening night. CFA is a big deal in this house. My husband grew up eating it in Georgia. It's a southern chicken fast-food chain, but they are one of the healthiest fast-food places. They were extremely busy, but very well organized. We got our food within 5 minutes of walking in the door. I went back the next day and the drive-up was wrapped around the building twice. I went today to pick up lunch, and it's still wrapped around the building twice... They've been open for 8 days and still have to have someone directing traffic. That's awesome. You don't see that with a McDonald's opening! I forgot my camera at home, but got these after:


I am now an independent consultant with Lindt Chocolate R.S.V.P. Lindt has been making premium chocolate for over 165 years. Here is a pic from my Grand Opening Party last weekend:


Connor had fun with the chocolate tasting :) I also served chocolate fondue, but did not get a picture of it. I've got parties booked and quite a few vendor events lined up next month.

My First Egg!

My first! Laid yesterday. I locked them up last night in the dark and somehow didn't step on it. I found it this morning before I let them out. I'm assuming it's from my Rhode Island Red, Ruby, who was hatched on Mother's Day... so she's what, 22 weeks? I found another egg on their perch, but it was a soft shell and was cracked. I don't know if she's just been busy, or if one of my other two are laying. One is a Brahma, one a Buff Orp, both supposed to be a month older than the RIR, but I think the Buff Orp is younger. She's just now not sounding like a baby chick.

Pics!

Our newest additions... a Red Haven peach tree and Bing cherry tree. I will need to get another sweet cherry later on to pollinate the Bing. I'd like to get apple trees also.


Connor loves to play on the tractor with Daddy!


And chickens!
