Feathery new additions





Well I haven't met them yet but apparently Mami went with Tia Becky yesterday morning and picked out two baby chicks for us to have in the yard. They are so tiny that Tia's daughter is going to raise them for us unti they're big enough to come home. Meanwhile Mami and Abuelo are going to build a chicken house in the back hard big enough for them, plus a safe fenced place for them to be so that the raccoons can't snack on them.
I've never met chickens before so I don't know how I feel exactly, but Mami said they're black like me and Lulu and when they get big they'll be bigger than both of us! Their names are Betita and Viola. I bet when they get a little bit bigger they'll want to say some things on the blog too!
Meanwhile, it is 70 degrees and sunny today, and I am outside panting in the yard. Mami has been working like crazy on the garden since it's finally nice outside, and because the forecast calls for rain so she knows this nice sunshine isnt going to last. She's done so much work in the past two days it already looks like a brand new place! Lulu is spending her time by the open windows sniffing the air. I am just looking for a cool spot to take a nap!

I don't know if the world is ready for chicken blogging.
