J said the woodcock was acting very funny around him and then he realized why- baby woodcocks nearby! He also said the bird looks like a very large flying mosquito because of it's odd beak.
The other exciting news is that we (meaning J) have moved the chickens (I just can't call them chicks anymore) into the chicken coop. They are very happy and warm! I'll post some pictures of them in their new home in a few days. They are no longer fluffy as all of them have their big boy and big girl feathers now. Magnolia continues to be the most tame of them all- probably because we hold her the most as she is only one of two that have a real name. I'm hoping to name the rest once we officially have the hens and the meat birds separated. Currently, they are all together as the "chicken tractor" has yet to be constructed.
We are sick of the rain and hoping for some sunny weather. Unfortunately, the forecast is full of rain and thunderstorms (but at least a little warmer.)
The house is coming along. My goal this week is to hang some pictures and start to organize the basement. Then the task that all mother's dread-- putting away/sorting the small and out of season clothes and bringing in the warm weather outfits. I was planning on doing this a month ago when we had our warm streak...I'm happy I didn't as it's been pretty chilly outside.
On the work front, I have two weeks under my belt. Still loving the commute but hoping to continue to feel less like a freshman and more like at least a sophomore or junior. And the good news-- a definite friendship is blooming! J recently got great news that he will be able to teach a summer class this year!
Tomorrow we are trying to decide if we are going to try another new church. The boys and J think we should stick with the first one that we tried...and loved. We also will have a visit from my brother and his family! We are very blessed that our farm is bringing many loved ones to our doorstep (via the mudroom, of course!)
