However, it does help that we decorated for the occasion! This is a little tradition I started for the last day of school each year and the kids love it!
Today is Piper’s last day of camp! Even though summer vacation officially started last Thursday, I don’t think it will truly begin for us until she’s home full-time again, which starts tonight!
Life has slowed down a bit lately, and I’ve been using the time to catch up on all the things that piled up during the busier months.
One of the big things on my list has been getting the garden in order. It’s been a slow start, but everything is growing! I still need to get the squash planted, but aside from that, I’m feeling pretty caught up.
The baby chicks we brought home in February are officially teenagers now—and ready to be introduced to the rest of the flock. If you’ve never done that before, let me just say: it’s not always a smooth process.
We’ve started with short, supervised introductions in the backyard—what I like to call a “soft introduction”—since there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The real test will be when we move them all into the same coop. I’m praying that goes smoothly!
