FIRSTS

For some reason, with the rain came A) more rain and B) more work... everytime I feel like perhaps I could get a move on the big projects we have I have to stop everything to clean out the coops. And then, it rains, so I can't work on any other outdoor projects... and then the coops are swamped again so the circle continues. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about the work itself, I just want to get other - much needed - things accomplished. However, this post is about the firsts happening this week!

1. Baby Ducklings Arrive Tomorrow! They were supposed to arrive at the post office this morning but sadly (for us and them... the rate at which they die increases DRAMATICALLY every day they spend in the mail) they didn't get here today. So bright and early tomorrow morning we will go pick them up:) We rushed around and worked so late LAST night to prepare their habitat, so at least that is all set for their welcome to Twin Oaks.

2. Solitary Egg Delivery! Renee has a bunch of office-work to do tomorrow and will have to be around to monitor the ducklings first day here so I get the honors of the Seaside egg delivery. A little intimidating but according to Renee, she gives "GREAT" directions... we shall see... along with my mother's genes, I also recieved her sense of direction;)

3. First Seaside Farmer's Market! Saturday morning is the first of this season's farmer's market at Seaside. We are going to have preserves, eggs, and homemade ice cream to sell. And since Saturday's are technically days off for me, I will be gracing the ocean with my presence for the first time since arriving in Florida!

Those are the big "firsts" for now... keep your fingers crossed for the ducklings this week!
