Babies are doing great.

K went out to let the poultry out of the coop this morning and since it's a really cold morning none of them wanted to come out. She had to chase the ducks out though as they are the only ones who will not use the window (our "pop" door).

She was a little upset with them because she would run them out and as she was getting one last one the others would come back in. They can go into the barn to stay warm, so no worries.

But K wanted to ride the bus this morning so she's in a rush. I've been taking them back and forth since B got kicked off the bus for vandalizing the seat of a brand new bus twice! It's a good thing we're only about 5 minutes or so from the school or I'd be madder at him than I already was over it. Thank goodness the school didn't decide to bill us over it...the bus had only been in service 24 hours when he did it the first time!

Vinnie is starting to grow fur back over his rump. I was afraid he wouldn't since the fur and skin were ripped off and he was down to the meat but it's coming back.

I've got some updated pics of Vinnie.

Here is his rump. It's a huge improvement!
Kind of hard to tell what you're looking at since it's mostly grown back.

And here he is cuddling with me. His ear has healed nicely, but of course will never grow back. He's become such a lovable guy...he will bump my chin and I'll kiss his nose. Who would have ever thought that I'd fall for a rabbit.

And some fun pics of DH's spoiled cat, Chowdy. She's the one who helps us round up chickens every night.

She rides around on DH's shoulders as he's doing chores.

And taking a ride on some hay bales.

That cat hears DH's voice and will come running...she hears his car pull in the drive and meets him when he opens the car door. "Helps" him with chores and either follows him around or rides on his shoulders.

I'm not sure about our animals sometimes...they have quite the personalities.

Thanks!

I went to meet with them tonight at 6pm and they tasted my stuff and said "Bring us everything that you have in stock tomorrow at 9am. The store opens at 10am."

I went then then and finally

I'm so excited! And I'll deliver more mid week every week! I can hardly believe this!

That is so fantastic, I am so happy for you. I have missed chatting with you

Oh my gosh, it's been a fantastic day today.

First I got good news at the doctor when she told me that my vitamin D level is finally in the normal range and I don't have to take toxic doses anymore.

Then the meeting with the store.

And just now I found the most decadent package I have ever received on my doorstep. An almost 3 foot tower of chocolates!
