birthdays and new gals

weve been having fun birthdaying around here. bennys was last wednesday, i got him a dartboard and made him a computer chair cushion and ice cream cake.
levins 40th was saturday night, there were so many soups to choose from (i LOVE soup!) and it was so nice to spend the night outdoors lit by fires and lanterns! Mums birthday was today, we had pancakes for brekkie and oma and opa came to visit. for all three birthdays i took just two photos at levins. note to self, must take more photos!

yesterday we went and visited mums neighbour loretta to buy some chickens. there were no red hens (orange) but some beautiful brown ones

first i chose hawkie (called hawkie because she reminds me of a hawk) and fell in love

then i chose a white girl for bennys cousin and a light brown one for us. i gave them a bath and suddenly had two white ones:)

i already have two white chooks so i swapped her and came home with hilda. shes got a bent up beak but she eats fine and we love her. there settling in beautifully, hilda seems like shes been part of their gang forever, hawkies a little shy and prefers to keep to herself but she seems happy with her new home. loretta also has some beautiful ducks which benny realy loved, hes thinking of building a cage so he can get some which would be realy great
