Celebration Weekend

Monday morning sure got here quickly! I hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was a busy one filled with projects around our house and celebrating Caitlin, who turned 14 on March 28th!

Work is almost completed with renovations on the chicken coop. My new Polish chickens are doing well and their feathers are growing in! A little patchy still but growing in nonetheless! While my husband was working on the coop, we let them free range, which I don't normally do for fear of hawks, but I kept a close eye on them, and they enjoyed themselves. What was funny though was that they only enjoyed their freedom for a short time and kept retreating to their home even as my husband was working with power tools on their run! No fear! They love their home and feel safe and secure. And trust my husband 100%! Here are a few photos of them but not all of them!

I also started purchasing my vegetable plants. We are extending our raised beds which I will fill with kale, butter lettuce, red and green romaine, broccoli and cucumbers. My shelves along the rear yard will have container planters of tomatoes, parsley, rosemary, basil and a few others that I still have to purchase but I did get a nice haul of veggies to start. All those I named, I bought and will plant this week. I love this time of year for the new plants both vegetable and floral. I love going to nurseries and just walking through the rows of flowers! I would love to hear about what you plant!

Caitlin's room continued with a makeover. She changed from "butterflies and fairies"from when she was four to a new "beach" theme at fourteen! Can't believe my baby is fourteen. Billy painted her room in the color of her choice and her new carpet comes this week. I will show you photos in a reveal next week! Very excited for this change for her. Here's the color and her new comforter:

We celebrated her birthday at the restaurant of her choice which was Japanese Hibachi! What a great night!

She had a few friends over afterwards and was surprised that we had a special birthday cake for her! Her favorite band is Panic at the Disco so that was her birthday cake!

So all in all it was nice weekend! I hope you had a great one and have a wonderful week!
