It's a rainy Monday here, but I'm not complaining! We need the rain so bad. The rivers are down, the dirt roads are dusty, and the grass is dead. They're calling for rain for the next three days and I will gladly take it. This weekend was a busy one. We celebrated my niece's birthday before she headed off to college. It was an emotional day. She's the first to head off to college out of the kids. It's amazing how time flies. I still remember when all the cousins would get together and play. They spent a lot of time together when they were young. One of the many advantages of living close to family. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Let's get on with Happy Homemaker Monday with Sandra!
Be sure to stop in and visit Diary of a Stay at Home Mom!

More adventures of the Fairie Gang...
Violet, Rosetta, and Silvermist (black and white ones)
Tinkerbell and Periwinkle (gray/lavenaer ones)
We named them after the Disney Faries since the smallest lavender Orpington was named Tinkerbell.
She was so small. We didn't think she'd make it.
They love exploring outside. They did get scared the first Colonel Drumstick crowed. They all hid under my legs. Now they are getting a little braver and wandering a little further. They still flap their little wings and run back when they realize they are too far away. The love Therese. She's the baby chick whisperer. They love to climb up in her lap and take a nap.
