Peepers 2.0

We got a new chicken house from a neighbor a few weeks ago (crazy story of getting it to the house), and felt compelled to get some new birds.



Introducing Thanks and Giving, the new turkey chicks.



They are adorable, with the softest, highest pitch peeps you can imagine. So cute!



Yesterday was the first day they were allowed to be outside. They sat in one place for nearly two hours before they started to move around. I think they enjoyed themselves once they got over their skittishness. Here's looking forward to a summer of fun bird watching!

End-of-year thank you notes and gifts made their way to my desk the last few weeks.

There were quite a few handmade alpaca cards and a llama drinking bottle in the mix. So thoughtful of my students to remember my passion for these animals and so polite to write heartfelt messages! And a good reminder to me that creating and writing notes of appreciation completely make someone’s day. I am starting my summer with that lesson and returning some personal emails. Letters to follow!
Happy Writing!

Let’s start with the reading, which was featured in January as well. I am actually going to through-hike the 58-mile-long Knobstone Trail this week! Just a little reading to brush up on the details before I leave early tomorrow morning. I am beyond excited!!! Woohoo!

I’ve been wanting some mindless knitting and needing some quick end-of-school thank you gifts for the secretaries. Washcloths to the rescue. Now I can’t stop, though, so if you know someone who needs a washcloth, message me!

This is the little gift combo I came up with for some important secretaries: reuse cute pails that a student gifted me cookies in with a handmade washcloth, some organic handcrafted soap, and a thank you note.

Happy Summer and enjoy your crafting!
