Spring Update

In the last days at Nick and Sara's we had a few chicken scares. We thought we had lost Meredith, the cutest of the chickens, but it turned out that she was just sleeping under another chicken when we were looking for her. We spent the night all worried and sick with fear that a fox had swept her away. Another day we thought a chicken was in the process of dying, and we were saying our goodbyes to her. She was all heavy breathing and sweat on her brow, with other chickens looking on. A few minutes later, she dropped an egg, and then was completely fine
We'll miss the eggs and the fresh air

Penn from the Bean was due on march 15th. She had her baby (Ella Dee Flashner) on March 10th.
For fun the other day, Sonya and I snuck into the Sears Photo Studio in the Foothills Fashion mall. We took some of our own pics with my camera before we got all paranoid and fled.



On a sad note, the Hallmark store closed. It used to be called "Roley's", and it was the only place in town to get cards and little knick-knack gifts. My dad still has this tiny little (about the size of a ping-pong ball) kitten figurine that I got him for his birthday one year. I remember looking at it in Roley's and thinking that he'd like it (I was about 6 years old). I also remember loving that store, getting lost in the colors and wax products (candles, etc). It was sights and smells and colors, all potpourri and reds and blues
