Miss J is off to Public School for the first time this morning. After spending almost every day of the past 9 1/2 years with her, this is a BIG change for both of us! She is excited and did not appear at all nervous. This afternoon will be another first: riding the school bus to my friend's house for me to pick her up.
I am feeling a bit teary, but am pushing on. L has Cyber School to begin today, the kitten has a Vet appointment for shots, Soccer practice for both girls this evening, plus my monthly Library Board meeting. Whew! What a day!
We had a pleasant weekend. My parents invited us for dinner on Saturday night. Afterwards, the girls and my Mom presented a short play entitled "The First Strawberries". They had made costumes, props, and scenery, and even memorized their lines! We had shortcake with berries for dessert after the entertainment.
On Sunday, we did some chicken herding. We needed to clean out under the pullets pen, so while things were moved, we thought we'd put the pullets in the area with the larger house. Easier said then done, particularly when you are dealing with 44 birds with brains the size of a pea. We ended up with one casualty...the tiniest, sickly barred rock pullet didn't recover from the stress of moving day. I wasn't sure if it would have been healthy to eat her anyway.

So this morning, we have all our ducks (chickens?) in a row, and are off to a good start: J off to school with JP, 20-some minutes on the elliptical, then L up and at it. She is presently checking for eggs, then we will start her school work!
Here we go...
