If 1 is the loneliest number and Bo Derek was a 10, what does that make me?

Yes, it seemed like just yesterday...

in the world of the blog, 1 is the loneliest number.

It is like that tree that falls in the forest...

If no one is there to hear it does it really make a sound?

I always thought that was a really stupid question,

of course it makes a sound...

it is just better if someone is there to appreciate the noise.

Well I have hit the double digits thank you all very much and have 10,

yes count them on both of your hands, I have 10 followers. 

 Best of all for me, you have some of my favorite blogs out there...

Reality Jayne, what can I say.  You were my first...we love the swamp(people that is).  I love your blog thanks for doing what you do the way you do!

Suzette, again what can I say.  So much fun to keep up with the Predicament, the mini and the mama. You do remind me to enjoy the everyday things and to take pictures of them!

Blooming Cottage... you had me at that beautiful yellow cake!  So talented.

Mommie Dearest, I always thought the 'f' word ended with a 'k', but not in your house.  Love your stories!

Janie, blather away.  You can blather to me anytime! So strong and faithful, you inspire me.

Stitchfork, let's here it for moms of boys! I love your designs and photos. I am glad you break the rules because you create unbelievable stuff.

Scribe...so glad you are still here! I love to see what you are creating, keep sharing! I also love your fun fone photos! I haven't seen another blog with them, you are a trend setter : )

Nicole...you totally put the OM in the OMG! I have so much fun seeing what is going on in the great white north!

Theresa... you did it, you put me into the double digits!  I look forward to following your blog, it is beautiful and I appreciate your insight keeping a blog anonymous.

I can't thank you all enough for getting me off to this start and

giving me great blogs to follow and look forward to catching up with.

I also want to thank you all for your comments on sharing not sharing my blog.  I am going to keep mine on the down low for now, but I do have a new rule.  Unless I am ready to send someone a link to my blog then I shouldn't say a word about it to them.

I hope you enjoy my blog from time to time...I am still finding my way.

I do foresee some additional installments of

"How the Chicken Coop Turns"

and I will also post day 14 of the chicks, the awkward teenage stage.

Newsflash...Perry we now believe to be a rooster

and a Golden Polish(not Silver)

We are also anxiously awaiting the arrival of our

9 Rhode Island Red and 3 Black Star hens

due to arrive in the next few days...

 stay tuned....

Thanks!
