The tree was pretty!

But there is nothing 'prettier' than a father enjoying the beauty of something alongside his daughter.

Princess has been loving our library story time visits.  She gazes at the books for the entire time and has begun to 'allow' her older sister to read to her.  Usually she only wants me to do the reading but, thankfully Rose has won her over.

The sister bonding time over a book makes me very happy!

At our library's story time, Rose was selected to be play the dragon from the story St. Gorge and the Dragon.  She took her part quite seriously and had the audience in tears from laughter.

As a bonus the balloon storyteller allowed Rose to take the dragon (plus the wings and fire) home with us.  It's been fun!

Deciding on a picture for our 'real' moment of the week was hard.  We've been in the garden a lot this past week.  Our 'ladies' pictured here, have been a focus.  They've slowed down their egg laying and there has been talk over retiring them for a new little flock.  Since we don't have the space to keep our original 4 hens (one has already died) retiring them means getting 'rid' of them.

That's a pretty real concept around here.  Everyone has an opinion of where they should go.  One young boy, I won't mention names, thinks making soup out of them would be great.  He looks at them as food!  And they are...really.  Others are seeking alternative methods that don't involve a stove.  I have my views but I won't mention it since I may get a certain young girl upset with me. 

Then we see this picture of Georgia looking in on Mrs. Chirp to see what she is up too....they are soooo nosey!  They are funny-social hens...so funny in how they interact with us.  We'll see where they up in a month or two.
