Wild Things

Spring is getting busy! We're about to plant our garden and we also got some clothes line poles from Sam's cousin that I'm excited to get put up. We'll be getting 25 baby chicks next month. Sam is going to Florida for some training next week and a few days after that I'll be going to Arizona to visit my best friend Stacy, her husband and their little boy. I'm super excited!!! A little worried about the long day of travel, but I'm sure it will be fine.
Well this post got a little out of order, so the wild things I want to show you are at the bottom. I'll start with my favorite wild thing first.




Naps have been a little difficult lately since Delight has figured out how to stand up in her crib. The second I lay her down, she sits up. I just have to let her do it and eventually she'll lay down on her own, or I'll rock her to sleep.

If you look closely, you can see her cute little bottom teeth.

She's a horse lover can't you tell? She especially loves green plastic horses :)

Farmer Delight

Hanging out with her cousins Hope and Zoie and Sonel (we just pretend he's her cousin)

Went mushroom hunting and looky what we found! A big rat snake! It was the biggest snake I've seen in Indiana. Sam told he to leave it alone, but.....

This is my little mourning dove friend. Our friends Brad and Emily found her. I didn't have high hopes for her. I hadn't took a bird in since I was a kid and I always killed them, but thanks to some helpful information on the world wide web, I've had her about a week and she's doing great. We named her Joy. Get it? Joy the Mourning Dove...Aren't we funny.

I just couldn't help myself! He wanted me to pick him up, I could tell. He was actually quite calm and nice, but Sam I couldn't keep him :( My uncle Steve (in red) came down from Wisconsin and was helping me identify some wild herbs in our woods. My dad came too and he found a huge elephant ear mushroom.
