Here are our 25 new chicks. Hatched 4/25 in Ohio. We raised 1/2 of these for David's friend Jennifer. It was something having 2 dozen chicks in the house for 3 weeks.
Mid May found Ingrid at NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association). Here she played her flute and was judged. She did great for her first time out.
Late April and May found us cramming for 4H Fashion Review. Here Ingrid is finish up her skirt - she copied one Grandma gave her - and Grace putting the final touches on her Harry Potter apron.
Ingrid and two 4H'ers in their skirts right before they were judged. I think they all got blue ribbons.
Here are five of the Thrills & Skills crew. After the Review - showing off their sewing and the tree planted in honor of David's Grandfather 20 years ago. This is the centerpiece of one of the gardens at the Albany County Cornell Cooperative Extension gardens. He was one of their first Master Gardeners in 1977 and is still talked about as a great gardener.
Well- the Subaru - after almost 13 years finally needed rear brakes. Here is David in true form - puttign on the anti-seize so that 13 years from now the job will be just as easy as it was this Spring. That's my David - always thinking ahead - WAY ahead!
After 3 weeks (well not even 3 weeks this year ) they HAD TO GET OUT OF THE MUDROOM. David built a pallet style brooder for them in the garage. They are all nice and cozy and the house is much sweeter without them! Everyone still alive and thriving.
Not only did we have birds IN the house - we had them roosting in the rafters on the front porch. This robin was really down to business with 5 eggs. Unfortunately they didn't make it. I think she got sick of flying in and out every time we came out to enjoy the porch.
