It’s been many months since I saw any grandchildren. On Saturday, Rob and Tara stopped by with Aryana and Caleb.
More joy entered my house that day.
After lunch, Aryana gave me a brief gymnastic demonstration by doing a backbend.
The future will bring more fun with my children and grandchildren.
Eventually, we’ll have another Manzke campout in my backyard.
I can’t wait for summer when my world will open more.

My four hens took their first steps outside yesterday.
The day before I opened the coop door but they didn’t go into the yard. They were afraid.
This time they made it all the way to the front porch. There they checked to see if the cats had left any food.
Chickens have good memories. First, they were afraid to go outside, thinking the coyotes might be lurking nearby. Second, they remembered about the cat food.
Each day I will weigh if it is nice enough to let them roam the yard or to stay inside. Wisconsin weather can be fickled and if snow happens to return, the hens will stay inside. They hate putting their feet in the cold snow.

Rebecca, Sunny dog, and I went for a walk down the farm lane yesterday. We didn’t plan for mud. We should have.
It was a great day to be outside.
I debated about posting this video of me limping. It’s not the best look. My excuse is that I was getting tired and my shoes had a heavy layer of mud attached.
Next time we’ll bring the cart out and hope not to get stuck in the mud.
