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.

Kate…let’s talk about porch painting. i have some info on hand from Home Depot, but it makes me think they want me to buy stuff that maybe i don’t need. this project intimidates me. what do you know? and. the chair looks very inviting for sure. ~anne
Oh so much to say about everything….. the chickies have gotten so big, so fast, I’m amazed. I love Magnolia trees, oh, you are so lucky to have such old ones, and lastly, it’s a beautiful blue that you are putting on the chairs. What fun you will have picking pillows too. A cool glass of iced tea, or chai tea, sitting in your beautiful chairs… ahhhh! Life is good!
It is hard to believe our little chicks will be that big in a few short weeks!!
From the picture your porch looks great!
