My adorable baby chicks are getting their adult feathers now. Hi!

My chickens are getting big.  Growing up!  About four months old now.

Yesterday I visited my parents on their farm in Wisconsin. It's not really a working farm. My father is retired and they lease their fields to other farmers and grow enough vegetables for themselves.  They also have chickens.  They also have a creek for fishing on the Nippersink.  There is a foot bridge where the grandkids go to fish. My mom likes the color red.    My brother gave my mom this funky pot last year for Mother's Day. My sister gave her this chocolate chicken from France.

There is a place on St John called Miss Lucy's, which has some great brunch and dinner specials.  These are conch fritters with mango sauce.  The conch is the pretty shell that people hold to their ear to hear the "waves".   Anyway, eating right by the ocean is a treat in and of itself.  A curious chicken sat on a chair at our table eyeing our dinner. Here is her little one. There were also goats running around the property next to the restaurant.  Here is a pic of a cute baby goat.

I celebrated Easter today with family.  My parents have a farm in Wisconsin.  They had some new baby chicks, just a week old.   My mother and daughter.  Quite the height difference! My mom always has a fun time decorating for the holidays.
