My Birthday!

I had a wonderful birthday yesterday.  It started off with a brunch of crepes made by the kids all by themselves with a selection of toppings including homemade chocolate spread, freshly squeezed lemon juice, brown sugar, agave nectar, honey, confectioners sugar and chocolate chips.


I opened a present from the children - a hammock!


We built an addition to our chicken coop for the chicks and created a new garden bed which we planted with a mahogany tree, a pigeon plum tree and banana trees.  The day ended with dinner with all of my favorite people at Seafront Sushi!






HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Chicks - Then and Now

Our chicks have grown so much it is hard to believe it!  They were just tiny balls of down when we got them and now they are miniature chickens.


They were so cute!!!



Look at them now!

Eggstravaganza!

We have now had a grand total of  . . . FIVE eggs from our hens!  The time between each egg has slowly reduced and now there has been one egg for the last two days in a row.  We hope they keep it up because, once we had three, we couldn't wait any longer and ate them all.  They were so delicious.

Free-Range Fowl on the Foredeck



The chickens have been free-ranging - on the deck! They seem to like it.
