Thanks everyone! Life is busy, but I am making it happen.

After three failed broody mommas this year, we finally got one to hatch a few out. She started with six eggs, and hatched out at least three from what I can tell. She is being very protective so far...

I needed to see this after a long and stressful work week.

Thanks Cindi!

Here is a better photo of momma and her babies. She hatched three in all, and looks to be a rooster and two hens. I have them set apart in their own building as of last night. If had done that before, I probably could've hatched more...oh well.

School is cancelled today. We are in the midst of major flooding in the region. Luckily, we are unaffected because we live on top of a cliff. If it floods here then the rest of the world is gone.

I'm going to try and go to the doctor today. I don't feel bad, but I have kept a fever all weekend. I am sweating up a storm right now. My glasses are steamed up. Not sure why I am doing this, but its happening nonetheless.

I also want to check my late green beans. They should be ready. They're probably too mature.

Chicks always make us feel better!

Still not doing well. I didn't work today. I took a day of sick leave. I woke up in sweats this morning. I have been feeling better this evening, but was running another fever about 20 minutes ago. I don't understand. My cough has gotten worse, and I have gotten more congested. I plan on working regardless tomorrow.

Any good tips on improving health? I have gained some weight, and also hate being sick...

I have spent the day catching up on paper work, and looking up off grid properties... :love

Sounds like you need lots of rest and lots of fluids! A hot toddy (with or without a little hit of bourbon)...or just make it with hot water, lemon and honey. Get better!!
