Welcome to My Blog!


Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

Faster Than . . .

Posted in School Things
The speed of light? Sure, we've all heard that one.

Faster than . . . the speed of sound? Slower than light, but faster than us.

Faster than . . . the speed of feathering? Hmmmm. We might be on to something new. I mean, really, who knew how fast God could cover a helpless fluff-ball chick with the feathers they need?

A lesson in speed:

The day of hatch just a few hours after eggs-iting and drying off.

Late that evening in the brooder, just 10 hours after eggs-iting.

Just 7 days old in the brooder!
(Remember we could barely see any feathers just 24 hours before this photo was taken.)

This is at 9 days old in the brooder!
(Roughly 36 hours after the previous photo.)

The lighter silver chick a mere 10 days old in the brooder!!!

And this is both of them at 10 days old in the brooder today! They are flying up pretty high in the brooder when startled now, so we'll be looking for a better solution soon. We don't want anyone running around on the floor.  :'O

I told you it was fast!  ;') I'd wish you "Godspeed" today, but I'm a little terrified at the concept in this moment. . . .

Have a great schooling day, friends!
