One day, shortly after Anthony's birthday, we got a call from our local farm store that they had new chicks in. So that afternoon, the kids and I drove to town to buy some chicks. They were already out of the breed we were intending to buy, so instead of waiting longer, we opted for a different breed. Our main goals were to get good egg layers that would also be a different color from the chickens we already have.

| Anne and Anthony |
 |
| Joseph, with Dom, the little chick. |
 |
| Catherine and her chicks. |
 |
| Our new chicks, Buff Orpingtons, travelled home in style. |
 |
| The kids helped me put the chicks into the brooder box, and then we had fun watching them get acclimated. |
On the second day of spring, we had a garden day.
 |
| Joseph and Dominic headed for one of the raised beds. |
 |
| Together, they worked to chop down the dead stuff from last year. |
 |
| Meanwhile, Anne, Anthony, and Catherine helped Daddy with the small side garden, where potatoes and onions were soon planted. |
 |
| Hi Mommy! |
 |
| Inside, the tomato and pepper seedlings grew on the window seat in Anthony's room. He took extra special care of them. |
