Sleep anyone?

What a day! Today started early, way to early in my opinion. Jack's award ceremony for school started at 8:30A.M but we had to be there at 8. The ceremony went great, Jack got a fun award for how far he has come this year!! He finished 70 books, twenty more then the rest of the class. Good JOB! The rest of the day went by quickly. My grandma and I saddled Indy(5th time. . I think) she did well but still is not ready to began riding. She is so reactive we have to be really patient with her - I'm hoping once nicer weather starts up we'll make better progress. Speaking of the weather, will it ever be nice???? Can someone please tell me there is hope, I'm begging you. Today was better then most the other days, I will give you that, but still! It's almost JUNE and I'm still wearing a sweatshirt with a light jacket over the top. Crazy!! The weather did give me a big enough break to mow the jungle, erm I mean lawn. haha

CHICKS SHOULD SOON BE HATCHING!! Eeppp I'm so excited. I've been waiting forever(Welllll 21 days Sunday but who's counting??). Honey(we call the mommy Honey ;]) is being such a good momma. I really just hope she doesn't give up before they start hatching. Yes we have had hens do that, they gave up and there chicks died because they got cold. . She is sitting on 6 eggs, I'll keep you guys updated on her. We also have another hen sitting on 6 eggs, we decided to call her Momma - it seemed to fit her well. She's a first timer so is being slightly stupid at the moment. And yes, I will admit I've been having conversations with her trying very hard to explain that she has to sit on ALL of the eggs for this to work. Not to mention she's decided she'll be doing it on the ground, Honey is smart enough to hatch her brood in a nesting box. Momma has moved her eggs I don't know how many time - I believe she has finally stopped moving them. I think this is going to be a very LONG wait for her eggs, I just hope they hatch -crosses fingers- . Oh and the ducks!! We have the cutest baby wood ducks swimming, or rather running around on the pond. They are adorable! So tiny too, and not to mention outgoing. They always seem to be scattered around, watch out for the heron little ones!!

Well everyone, that is about all I can handle. My eyes are ready to close for the night. I hope you all have a great day tomorrow(or today depending on when you read this. ;)). I don't think I'll have the time to post everyday, but I will be sure and try my best to post every other day - or whenever something worth while happens. You all are in my prayers! Please keep me in yours as well, I have been missing my family, friends, and church so much today. BUT I'm still having a great time, I'll be okay I know the summer will go by quicker then I want it too. :/ Love you all!!!
