The chicks are teenagers now😄. They all have their own personalities too. They love to hop out of the chicken tractor and run around the yard looking for creepy crawlies to eat 🐛🪲. They are great pest control😊.

Well, we started off the day bathing roosters. This is the reality of owning chickens. My 2 roosters who were raised together and have lived together for 2 years decided to start fighting. They really beat each other up. I'm bathing them, and clean/ treating the wounds on their combs and waddles. They will recover just fine, but they will look rough for a while.

The chicks got out for the first time on fresh grass! Needless to say they are really enjoying themselves. Dirt baths all around😄🐔🐣.

The chicks are getting big! I'm going to put them all in the chicken tractor soon, that way they can get some sun and fresh grass! Pictures to come😊🐣.

Every year in Virginia, usually beginning in mid February to Mid-March, these frogs come out and start calling.

These are called Spring Peepers. They are LOUD.

It's the warm weather and wet conditions that bring them out, and in Fredericksburg the past week, we have had both.

Their "Peep! Peep!" calls are distinct and have been heard by us the last few days in Stafford near Crow's Nest and near Poplar Road, in Fredericksburg near the river, and in Spotsylvania near Fawn Lake.

Spring is near.

For those of you that have been following our story, you know we have been batteling VDACS on this exact thing. I have also been in contact with the Institute for Justice since late August about this and other things VDACS is attempting to do to small home businesses. Let's hope this is the beginning of change for those of us that fall under the exemption of cottage law!

A Richmond-area baker's "side hustle" was upended after a warning from the state over selling at a holiday market and promoting her cake pops online.
