Indeed I am now blessed with 17 little fuzzy chicks. As cute as they are, they can be vicious as I witnessed on Saturday. 1 chick has had it's eyes pecked so badly, I fear it may not see again. Why? Not sure but for now it's in a brooder by itself and I need to give it water and try to make it eat. This worries me. It chirps loudly after I water it but it doesn't seem able to see the water to do it itself.... If anyone of you are passing by, please pop in for some eggs! My hens are laying like crazy and the eggs are such wonderful colors!
On a yarny note, I have decided that 2012 will be pretty much the year of me using up my stash. Seriously, if I look hard & long enough, I have enough yarn for just about any project I would want to start- and eventually finish! My middle son turns 18 tomorrow. It was while I was on maternity leave for him that I learned to knit!!I will be finishing another 3 stitch waffle mitten for him as a gift: his request. Still plugging away at the February Lady Sweater. I'm just about at the section where you put the stitches on a holder for the arms..progress indeed. Sadly, I also learned of the passing of my aunt Kath, who was also my Godmother. Unfortunately, she lived in Regina. Since I am not working, I can't even consider a trip at this time, so a card to my uncle will have to be my wish of condolence & remembrance.
Loving the mild weather these days!My next project will be starting seeds indoors...I will wait until March for that, unlike the chicks. Apparently our bag of chick starter was the first one sold this year!! I will probably have the chicklet on my lap today as I peruse the internet for employment. Wish me luck!
Those chicks are adorable. How's the job hunt going?
