In my living room right now…
My first official day off was Friday which is always spent just vegging out on the couch, binge watching tv and movies. That morning, I found this newly hatched little chick in the coop along with two others (who didn't make it).

Flowers, flowers, and more flowers!
The flower bug bit me, and I am spending so much time outside now, playing in my raised veggie beds and planting more and more flowers. Wal-Mart marked their Wave Petunias down to 95 cents per pot.
