In the six months I left this blog stagnant, several things happened in our family. In March, we took the children on a major field trip. We went to Los Angeles-- a city that, inspite of me being a 7th generation Californian, I have never been to. We spent several days in Southern California, visiting a mission, a zoo, the La Brea Tar Pits, the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History, seeing the "Holywood" sign and swimming in several hotel pools. We drove nearly 500 miles south in our minivan, and ate our meals picnic-style out of a cooler in the back. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, and our hotels were clean and comfortable. I wish we could afford to do more "major" field trips, but they are just too expensive! We lost two hermit crabs; the cause of death was never determined for either one. We did, however, begin keeping poultry again. (Last year a storm knocked a branch into our hen yard, ripping an opening in the fencing which allowed access to some hungry raccoons. They killed all 6 of my birds.) My last chickens were six black sex-links, now I have 8 very young Rhode Island Reds... My baby girl, nicknamed Hampster, is nearly two years old now, and getting cranky. Time to go put her down for bed. Goodnight, everyone! |
