Bad bad bad ....cuteness overload......

What do you get when you combine one indulgent loving marshmallow of a husband with one overlyspoiled no self control wife?????  

WARNING!  DO NOT GO TO TRACTOR SUPPLY, GEBOS, OR ANY FEEDSTORE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SUCKED IN!!!!!


There are 10 little teeny tiny bantam fluffballs!   3 possibly 4 silkies, a handful that look like cochins and one little strawberry blond teeny tiny little thing that I have no clue what it is.  

This last weekend I bought two fully feathered Americauna chicks and intended to get some more this weekend... but when I stopped to get chicken food tonight TRactor supply had these guys... I couldnt resist... of course I am married to a man that is SUPPOSED to say NO!!! BUT instead he was scooping them out of there as fast as I was.....      

I am still considering getting out the incubator and getting some hatching eggs.... but at least I can start with these little buggers and get used to raising teensy weensy chicklets!!!

OH YEAH... I AM LOOKING FOR SOME TURKEYS TOO!!!!  MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Spring is almost here.... so Im not!!!

Its been unseasonably warm(except for that snow on Friday bleck...).
everything is turning green, the birds are on the prowl! The feed stores are getting in baby chicks! (WHY is this pertinent you ask????Muahahaha!!!! Cause I am getting some!!! So far I have 2 little Americauna pullets(young girl chickens.) and the plan is to take Wyatt to see the itty bitty baby chicks.... and probably bring some home(thinking barred rocks there...) I cant decide if I should go get a few more of the Americana pullets or not) Why Americanas??? Becuase instead of your boring white, or the pretty brown... they lay light blue or light green colored eggs... My only downfall will be ducklings! I must resist the ducklings!
Husband of mine is not too pleased... see once before we raised chickens, ducks, geese, guineas, turkeys you name it I had it.... until wandering dogs decided they were a tasty fun self propelled flock of cool toys.... Chainlink fences didnt even slow them down.... But I am trying again!

Of course with all the pretty weather I havent even tried to get anything done jewelry wise, I am to busy enjoying the outdoors.... so I am giving it up for a while. Ill get back to it eventually. I just need some time to be and outdoorsy farm girl for a while. I have a garden to get going (Brand new Raised beds with irrigation systems!!!!) Pretty soon if everything worked out like i hope I will be busy with a litter of Aussie puppies! My friend Stephanie is expecting Corgi puppies and I cant wait until they arrive. Life is just crammed packed full! With all the good comes bad too.... The CAR decided it doesnt like me and the overdrive went out on the tranny so we arent driving it... we are a single cab pickup family for a while.... which drives me INSANE!!! This comes a week AFTER the rear end on Mikes pickup died a loud screaming death... luckily his generosity towards the world was returned and instead of a $500 rebuild or a $100 complete rear end swap, a guy he recently helped out popped up with the parts he needed and he ended up spending $15 on seals. Happy dance! Just in time for the car to go caput.... at least they werent allat the same time... Cause sharing ONE pickup just wont work. we would KILL each other... So now we start pricing transmissions and deciding what to do.... I cant gripe too much cause all of our vehicles are paid for.
Lots of other stuff has gone on lately and I really need to take some pictures and upload others, but the sun shines and calls me outside to play in the dirt!!!!!
