Homestead Update 2

Sidekick finally got her new bike. She grew out of her last one while we were in California. We don't have any hard road here, but this one does great on the dirt, rocks, and grass.

Sadie Mae is a snuggly dog and even hugs us. However, we do curb her random jumping and trying to teach her to only jump up when we ask.



This one's funny because it looks like Sadie Mae is choking her! She's not.



This was the day after Grapes died. We took the kids out shopping at Goodwill, then ate lunch at a restaurant, got the new bike, and then got iced coffees and smoothies at a nearby *new* coffee shop. Sidekick was sick the day before and I just wanted to give the kids a good day away from home to get their minds off Grapes.



We had two days of HOT summer weather! Winter to Summer = not cool Mother Nature!

The bunnies stayed in their hutch, it was too hot to go out to the grass.



We gave the duck girls a fresh pool of cool water which they quickly dirtied up. No surprise there!



The forsythia are blooming, but not a vibrant yellow just yet.



I moved the chicken fence to a grassy area covered in leaves. When it was time to return the Henny Pennies to their run, they'd mulched every single leaf! Thanks girls! :) Just what I hoped they'd do!
