If you go to google search engine, type in "find Chuck Norris" and click on "I'm feeling Lucky" something sort of neat pops up! Try it out! (It's safe, so don't worry!)
I am also wondering if this heat wave will be broken today somewhat. I know the high temperatures are forecasted for a while yet, but it has clouded over, it's getting rather dark and the wind has picked up a bit. I've brought in my laundry from the line and brought the chicks inside, just in case! Some rain would be a cool change! (remember how I was whining about the continual rain? am I ever happy with the weather? LOL I enjoy warm days, but humid 37C is a bit hot for me!)
anyway, I just heard a rumble of thunder, so I am off!

The Chicken Project
I grew up with parents who raised their own food. We raised various animals over the years, from chickens and turkeys to pigs and goats. One of the things that chafes me about renting is the "no livestock" clause. why live on a large property with a small barn, if you can't keep a few chickens?
Anyway, I have been mulling for a few years now about the fact that my children are growing up not knowing where their food comes from. Last year, we had a garden, and they saw how to grow veggies. This year, it's project chicken! I've purchased 15 day old meat chicks, and we'll see how it goes! My neighbour, who has her own flock of chickens and ducks said we are welcome to raise our birds there, so we are doing it! for now, though, we have the fuzzy yellow bundles of fluff in our laundry room, heater on, ensconsed in a small chicken cage. We lost a peeper last night, but the others are doing fabulously!
Pictures to follow :)

The clean- up
Just thought I'd post few pictures of the claen- up! My neighbour has a wood stove, so we were happy that he was willing to clean things up for us :)

It's winter again?
May 8th, and we had snow. Imagine that... grass lush and green, lilacs in full bloom, trees fully clothed, and we get snow. in sounthern Ontario. It didn't stick, or anything, but it was only 2 degrees Celcius, VERY cold, and not at all like spring!
In fact, the wind was so harsh, it split our big maple in half.
