The Stork Is Coming!… Sort of
I’m so excited! I feel like I’ve just signed adoption papers. We’ve thought about this for a while. We’ve discussed it as a family, my husband, my two kids and myself. I mean, this could really change us. But we finally made the decision and in the third week of May we’ll be getting eight brand new babies! Don’t worry. I’m not the new Octo-mom. I don’t have any book deals and no one’s offering big money for my story. Today, we ordered chickens!
I won’t pretend, I’ve never had chickens before and I really don’t know much about keeping chickens. But something about hard times and economic pressures has prompted me to want to do more for ourselves and to return to my roots. I’m a country girl and it’s true that you can take the girl out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the girl. I’m not talking buyou country, I’m talking about Maine country. The woodlands.
So anyway, I thought some hens to provide eggs might be a great adventure and a good learning experience for my kids. Young Master is seven years old and Little Maiden is four. They are also very excited! What a great way to have some quality family time… preparing for chicks!
