Branch: I have been letting my pigeons fly free, and they always come back home. I haven't done very much in Greek this week because it's been a really busy week and the Greek is harder. MOM wants to make sure that I understand what I'm doing before I go much further. I planted collards and peas in my little garden.

ChubChub: I have one hen. I like her. Thank you very much.

Josiah: I planted my potatoes. We weighed one of my roosters and he weighed 16 pounds! I didn't do very much Greek because I am lazy, but I did do a good amount of other school. I bought a pair of cowboy boots, a Smidt work jacket, about 20 butchering knives, and 2 Santa Claus caps (one for me; one for Chub) at a yard sale this morning.

Anders: I didn't do any Greek, so I have a lot to catch up on next week. I'm working on my APA speech for competition on the 20th.

The Girl: I did the same Greek as Branch. I finished my Reader Box, so I get to start on the next box, which is the Box #2. My tea party was fun. One of my friends was a new girl.

Stennes: I finished some of the review I'm doing in Mounce. It's going fine, since I went back to Chapter 10, so I understand it pretty well the first time through the reading. There are 4 roosters and 4 hens that my setting hen hatched; I chose a rooster for Pop of the 4 because his Buff Orpington rooster is getting old and has a cut leg. I think I figured out the rooster I'm going to keep for my own hens, and the 4 new hens are getting ready to lay.

Mean Ol' Mama: We went on a brief field trip yesterday to Birdsong in Thomasville. It was a beautiful day for being outside. ChubChub was excited to see an "Oreo" (Oriole). I've been on Spring Break from the College this past week, so I really have to get on the ball again before classes start back on Tuesday. We've been busy, as usual.
