Our first egg from my chickens!

You might think I am a little bit off my rocker, but here they are! Pictures of the first egg from our chickens! I was so proud and happy when my boys brought it to me! I almost cried...not quite, just so glad that I didn't buy defunct chickens! It will go into scrambled eggs tomorrow morning for Sunday breakfast...mmmm good!

Updates...

Well, my big guy has the flu. Our sweet assistant pastor's daughter is a nurse practitioner at the medical clinic in Louisa where the boys doctor at. She was able to see him, and they did the nasal swab test for flu, sure enough, Strain B. which she said wasn't as bad as strain A. So she wrote out prescriptions for him for Tamiflu, and then she wrote them out for everyone else in the house also. Insurance covered the boys, but not mine and Eugene's. Our was $94 per prescription. I did not buy it. I hope and pray we don't get the flu, but if we do, I will probaly be glad to pay for the medicine. lol Everyone pray for us, that we do not get sick...Eugene has no sick days at work, and I do not want to be sick...

Sick children, has to be Monday

See what cute children I used to have...how much they loved one another? The bigger one in the photo is Conley, my oldest son, he was 3 in this pic, and the little one is my Middle boy, Kenneth. He was 18 months old, I was pregnant with the baby, Josseph when I took this picture. Cute, weren't they?

Well, I can sure tell that this is Monday! My oldest is home, sick with what web md tells me may just be the FLU! My son, the healthy one, the one that usually eats like a horse, the one that never gets sick...is in his bed right now, knocked out on Tylenol cold & Flu nighttime medicine, until I can get a call in to his doctor, so I can get him in there. I hope it is just a cold, because with one child in this house who has asthma, we DON'T need the FLU virus circulating...luckily, my asthma sufferer is the one who has the FLU shot every year, because after 3 yearrs of hospital stays from the FLU, I don't want to go thru that again. So everyone, please pray for my boy, and my others and the treeman and me that it will be just a cold, ( but I doubt it, with a fever, body aches, sneezing, coughing, eyes hurting, headache, I doubt it) and that no one else gets it.

March Serenade

March Day Serenade
The frosty days are put to rest
As winter turns to spring
We cast an eye up to the sky
To what this month will bring.
A day when dark clouds gently brew
With not one leaf a stirring
When thunder peals as lightning cracks
A raging storm, enduring.
As shifting winds blow here and there
Without a rhyme or reason
When Ides of March come out to play
A turbulent sort of season.
We've waited long for nature's song
For freshness in the air
For rainy days and purple haze
For breezes sweet and fair.
A time of kites and windy days
A time when dreams are made
A time when God blows forth a kiss
A March day serenade.

A must see movie

I just finished watching Fireproof, and it is a movie every Christian should watch. It IS about saving a marriage, but it could be applied to any kind of relationship that is in trouble. Now, I just need to convince my husband to watch it too. lol.

more cute puppies, and Cute Chickens? Are Chickens cute?

Do you see what I see in this picture? My tulips around my mailbox are coming up, and I am worried they won't make it through the cold spell we have coming up tonight and the first part of this week. So I went out today and put straw around them, hoping it will protect them...fingers crossed...maybe we won't get the 2-5 inches they have fore casted us for.
These are two of the 7 roosters we have. They are on death row...lol. Seriously, we are going to butcher them and put them in the freezer to eat...chicken -n-dumplings anyone? mmmm good!

Here is a few cute pictures of puppies, or in the case of this one, puppy tails...this was about all I could get, because those lil boogers are fast...

Here's all 4 of them around Jobug's feet. They are rambunctious lil guys.

She found Luci's toy. Luci is the boxer who we can't keep chained, penned or anything. It is an insult to her if you have to put her up, she will find a way to get out.
