The chicks have really grown in the last month, Silas calls them teenagers now. They've changed so much that I can no longer tell them apart, but the boys can easily recognize them.
Si & Genevieve.
Levi & Zappy.
The flock.
We're still hoping that they're all hens, but we've got our suspicions about Gwendolyn Rose. She is super fast and hard to catch, much more so than all the other chickens, which makes us wonder is she might be a he. Time will tell!
Silas, Levi and I spent the day sprucing up our tiny city garden. Because we spent the majority of the past four years out west, this little space has been sadly neglected, but things are starting to look a little better.
If you enjoy gardening with kids, you should get your hands on a copy of Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots, I really love it! The boys & I have a number of fun projects planned for this garden and most of them came from that book; I'll share some of the great ideas once we've got them under way.
Silas recently discovered this spider on our blueberry blossoms. We'd never seen one before, but have since learned that it can change color from yellow to white, depending on what flower it is hunting on. It must of just arrived on the blueberry tree, so Si was able to spot it by it's bright yellow color.
