About Annie

Welcome to the Curious Mind Garden. My name is Annie, and this is my little patch of cyberspace. I post about things that interest me, and I find a lot of things interesting. :)

Homemade Lemonade

Okay, I’ll admit as an opening post, it lacks pizazz. Still, it was a
moment to remember. I made homemade lemonade today. My two oldest boys,
who are 6 and 8, juiced the lemons by hand. One cup of lemon juice, one
quart of water and a half cup of sugar later, we had lemonade and a
some big smiles.

Now that the boys are in bed, I’m settling down to knit, knowing that we created a good memory today.

New Arrivals

Over the six years we have lived on our property, we have gotten to
know the local fauna. We have wild turkeys in the area that trek
through our property once a day as part of their feeding circuit.
However, I have seen them for a few weeks.Today, the reason became apparent. This is a hen and her new babies.

Turkey hen and chicks

In the coming weeks, I hope to get an accurate headcount of all the chicks
and get to know this little family better. Welcome to the neighborhood!

 

Moxie

Today, we added a new family member. He is one and a three-quarters
pounds and nine weeks old. His name is Moxie. You can ask the vet techs
who drew his blood this morning if it’s appropriate.

Welcome, Moxie! We wish you a long and happy life!
