Home on the Range... { Or something like that }

Mowing season has begun. Christina was teaching James to mow the field. 

She had to keep a hand on the mower at all times 

otherwise the lines were all swerving... 

 

This is not a good thing.

Caught a flock of cute little tweedy birds

systematically snipping the apricot blossoms off one by one.

They caused quite a bit of damage in a short amount of time.

So we posted a guard.

She had to do homework anyway.

And the view was good.

The sunshine pleasant.

The hum of the bees deafening. ;-)

Today is chick day.

James is the official 

Farmer Freckle

24 chicks are his.

There are silver laced wyandottes

black Australorps

and Easter Eggers.

I'd say he's in business, but they are all of two days old 

and he won't have any blue, green or brown eggs for sale 

anytime soon.

Missy has one chick. 

The white one.

Exciting day!

This is an educational and business venture for James.
