#GRATEFULVIBES - ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE/WEEKLY THOUGHTS - 25 APR 2023 - 30 APR 2023
Good morning, Steemians! 😊
We were worried when we lost power for a few hours during the first week of our second batch of hatchlings being placed in the incubator, but we were blessed with 8 of the 12 eggs hatching out during the past few days, so expect loads of chick pictures, like this one of a freshly hatched chick we’re calling Ducky, in my next few blog posts. 😊
Here's Ducky after a few hours of drying time. 😊
Here’s Ducky after he got his first drink in the hatchling box. 😊
These are two from the first batch that went through the incubator. We’re calling the smaller one Pansy and the bigger one is Cappuccino. 😊
Floyd (the dark one) and the rest of the first batch of hatchlings were happy to welcome the second ones, which was good, they’re one big flock now. 😊
Pansy loves to climb in our hands when we feed them. Here she is in my handsome husband’s hand. 😊
Pansy and Floyd having fun in the garden. 😊
Ducky and his newest flock mate. We’re going back and forth on what her name will be, so I can’t tell you what her name is yet, but she’s going to be beautiful. 😊
Some of the hatchlings getting comfortable for a nap. 😊
How many chicks do you see here? There are several piled together, so just wondering if you can tell how many there are, from this picture. 😊
Ducky (left), Speckle (middle) and Mocha (right) are always covered in woodchips thanks to the bigger hatchlings. 😊
Pansy coming up to check out the camera as I snapped a few pictures of the younger hatchlings. 😊
We’ve been blessed with some very tasty meals this week, like this Shepherd’s Pie, always a hit on a cold or wet day and we’ve had those all week. 😊
The always lovely Nacho stopped by for a snack and chat this week, we had a nice long visit before she had to leave. 😊
Floyd being a brave boy, checking things out. 😊
While the younger hatchlings all cuddled in the corner, getting ready for another nap. 😊
Pansy, Dot, and Rebel, (foreground to background,) always run over here everyday and clean up the sunflower seeds and food that gets trapped under the waterer when we take them out to clean/change them for fresh water. It’s fun to watch them get so excited. 😊
We seem to be doing well with our second batch of pepper plant starts. 😊
The younger hatchlings got to meet worms this week and they had a blast. 😊
Soon these bigger hatchlings will be joining our main flock, but until then, they’ll have a great time searching the garden for bugs and grubs. 😊
Some of our hatchlings are shy and others are bold, can you tell who’s shy in this shot? If you guess the two facing away from the camera, you’d be right. 😊
The rhubarb gets better and better each year. 😊
The Tulips and Bleeding Heart are looking happy again this year too. 😊
Daylilies waking up and looking good. 😊
The main flock heading over to work on the fence line garden bed with the Daylilies Tulips and rhubarb plants. 😊
The always handsome Half-Penny, coming back for the third or fourth year in a row, welcome back old friend. 😊
I made a nice crock pot of chili to feed us all weekend, yummy. 😊
Some nice homemade buns and coconut cookies to get us through the weekend. 😊
Our handsome bull Prince Lee watching us while we’re watching the hatchlings. 😊
When we took the older hatchlings outside to have some quality garden time, Pansy decided to fly up onto my handsome husband’s hat instead of down to the ground, so I had to snap a picture of her being adorable. 😊
After getting Pansy safely onto the ground she joined the rest of the flock in their search for worms and slugs. 😊
Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! 😊 I’m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. 😊 God bless you all. 😊 Have an awesome week everyone! 😊
