My job has gone nuts in the past two weeks. This means two things to Farmer Allen: lots more kid-time and lots less farm-time. This also means two things for the blog: no time for me to write and nothing I'm doing would be exciting enough for any of you to want to read about it. Thus... lull in posts.
We did just hatch our first 4 silkie chicks, of which 3 appear to be gray and one white. They are about a week old and ab-so-freaking-lutely adorable. We also have a ton of mice hanging around the lean-to. Not so ab-so-freaking-lutely adorable. Mainly just freaking aggravating. I guess they are enjoying this lovely weather as much as we are. Other than chicken upkeep and lots of tractor riding (I think maybe he just likes to ride the tractor and listen to music b/c, really? How much time can one need to spend on a tractor?!), the summer heat has slowed down the farm. We are all ready for fall....
Speaking of good weather, should I feel bad that I LOVED how the hurricane made it feel at my house this weeken, dispite all the poor people put out of their homes, dealing with loss of power, flooding, etc?
And finally, in upcoming news.... we have actually scheduled our FIRST family vacation since our honeymoon that did not involve a set of grandparents being there as well. Granted it's only 3 days long, but it is 3 days in Charleston in late September. Of course, we will be getting some Gran-Gran time while down there (Allen's g'ma), but I am choosing not to count that as family joining our vacation since she will be staying in her house; we will be staying in our hotel. Now the question becomes: beach with a 4 year old, 2 year old, and 1 year old: vacation or hell (for lack of more appropriate term)? Guess we will see...
