A Science Lesson ............

On a beautiful early spring day .....................



Leslie , the nature lover/science girl, took Bennett and Hannan down to the pond to feed the ducks ........




and gather tadpoles. She explained that the tadpoles would grow into frogs.


 

 Bennett said, " I don't think so!" But he later came around and now he is a believer too!


 

 Bennett waded in the edge of the pond and

 

Hannan watched from the bank. ..............



while inching closer and closer.




This is too intriguing!






Suddenly,  their shirts  were off and ...............


............  both were in the pond.



Hosed off and as good as new! Now that is school!

( Area patrolled by Dooley!)

Happy Chickens


 If great cheese come from happy cows ...............


then surely great eggs come from happy chickens.

 

And I believe we have happy chickens. Hannan loves giving the girls a little treat.



Janie likes a little pat on the back and seems to say thanks for the treat! If Janie is out of the pen and the back doors opens, she runs as fast as her little drumsticks will carry her toward the house  for a little attention. She sort of squats ( can chickens squat?) down in front of Jimmy for him to pet her.


Yep! These are happy chickens ........


and they are giving us plenty of eggs again.



We are almost ready for Easter egg hunting with all of our colors and shades of colors. No blue egg to share today. It must have been someone's breakfast.




 Happy chickens and Happy Boys -who watch them, feed them, gather their eggs, hold them, and  chase them.
