Just Stuff

Thought I had better drop in and say...Hi. I have been very busy at work. It is a fun kind of busy, but busy non the less. I have been planning an Open House for our 4-H program and the big day is this Thursday. I have had the help of my 4-H teen ambassadors and we have been busy making posters, putting up fliers around town, writing articles for the newspaper, etc...the past few weeks. I still have a few posters to make and a trip to the store for extra supplies and decorations. Hopefully all will come together nicely on Thursday afternoon as we set up for the Open House. I have eight clubs participating and we sent out enough fliers for all of the fourth, fifth and sixth graders in the school system, so we are hoping for a good turn out.

Tomorrow is Earth Day. Countrychick and I will be at our local Community Garden giving presentations on poultry and using chickens for organic pest control. Chickens love bugs, but they will eat your plants too if you are not careful. It should be a fun day as we will be presenting to first, second, third and fourth graders. Some of these young children will be seeing a chicken for the first time! I can't wait!

Okay, it is time to get back to work on our monthly 4-H newsletter. Another of the many things I have going on this week.......

Wonderful stuff going on in your world, Deserthen! It must keep you feeling very youthful to work with all those young kids all the time! What a great opportunity and I'm sure you are enjoying it!

And, actually, what I meant was its a great opportunity to teach....not just an opportunity to feel youthful! :)

Whew! You really have been busy. Did the poor chicken deprived children get a thrill seeing their first chickens face-to-face? I would have loved to see their faces. Too cute!

I'm glad you are fun-busy :)
