“It’s spring fever…. You don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!”
- Mark Twain
cooking
… spinning
No… wait… spring cleaning
… the chickens
… going for a hike
Or… knitting
… I know… get a new cat
There is… this book I’m reading
… a project at work
… picnic with friends
… decorating the house
… work in the garden
… sit on the floor and listen to music for three hours
… organizing (Everything. My whole life.)
… go somewhere & take photos
… a little nap wouldn’t hurt
Or… sit in front of the television and ignore everything
… head out to the coast
But… there’s all this remodeling we need to start planning
… write for the other blog?
I could always… sit here and stare at this blank screen.
So, yeah, Mark Twain kind of summed it up.
Here’s my current spin project:

Gotta fly!
I know I’ve been quiet. I’ve got a million things on my mind and a post to that effect that I’m drafting. Just can’t concentrate right now.
Anyway, we put the chickens in their coop for the first time tonight. I’m really worried about them getting too cold. The photo above is of the one chick we’re pretty sure is a rooster. He’s pretty, though!
We have had such a wonderful weekend here… two full days of sunshine. On Saturday we made up a pen out of four posts and some burlap & bird netting and we let the chickens into the yard for the first time. They loved it, and it made me really look forward to when we can move them out into the coop.
I don’t know why Flickr’s having some trouble with uploaded photos right now and cutting off the bottoms on a few of them, but I don’t have time to investigate. I’ll try to fix them later. All of these can be clicked to see larger versions at Flickr. Check out that middle shot… they’re establishing pecking order all right.
Our magnolia tree is covered in blooms and just between yesterday and today, they’ve opened up even more. Here’s a shot from yesterday:
And, today I started on a project I’ve been wanting to do for a while — painting the chairs on the front porch. This blue is just going to make the porch so bright and inviting.
Ummm, please ignore the fact that I need very badly to sweep! The porch will need a fresh paint job this year, too. Actually, the whole house will… and that is not a project I look forward to.
