Egg-citing Times on the Farm!

With all that has been going on over the last week, I'm happy to say that there have been some bright spots as well. And I'm so excited to share with you what is happening right now here! Are you ready?!?

It's Spring! Kind of...

Well the official first day of spring has come and gone. Sadly, the only thing that really lets me know it's here is that I've now mowed the lawn three times! Other than that...it still feels like a dreary Seattle winter around these parts.

New Life on the Farm.

I can finally take a breath, and its not labored. During the last 5 days, there were times that I could barely breathe and sleep was little to be had. Why you ask? As you know I had 6 eggs in my incubator, and two days before hatch date they decided to pip!

Chicks are hatching!!!!

Just so you all know...the chicks are hatching!! I've set up a webcam so you can watch along!!

Chick's Hatching!

Follow along!!!!

Tick...Tock...Goes My Biological Clock!

Madonna's song is stuck in my head right now...Time goes by...so slowly. It truly, truly does! And the more time passes, the louder my biological clock ticks! So I'm doing anything I can to appease all of this! And it has come down to incubating and hatching my own chicks!

Life on a farm...in the middle of the suburbs.

Ever since I was a kid I dreamt of living on a farm or ranch. I've always wanted some land where I could have a big garden, horses, goats, chickens and maybe a couple of cows. Here I am, almost 33 years old, living in the suburbs with a yard that I've transformed into a mini farm and ranch. I guess I should have made my dreams a little more specific!

I am a bit hesitant to make this comment for fear of jinxing everything...but...I think it's Spring! There, I said it...now let me go look out the window to see if the clouds are rolling in to bring us a snow storm! ;-)

Chicks are coming...

Now if I were a different sort of man, "Chicks are coming" might have a different meaning. But as you all know by now, when I say that...it means baby chickens! Now that we've cleared that up, can I just take a minute to jump up and down because I'm going to have three little fluff balls to take care of again?!?!
