I had to share this picture I took today. These are the chicks that were born just a few short weeks ago at Jessica's preschool. They quickly outgrew a 10 gallon aquarium, then a 35 gallon aquarium, and have spent this week in a dog kennel/cage.But, they simply need more room, so they are going back to the farm. I honestly cannot believe how quickly they lost their down and started growing feathers. Amazing. The kids really enjoyed having them. I hope Jessica isn't too upset next week when she realizes they are really gone. The kids have been watching caterpillars become a chrysalis (sp?) this week and those are supposed to open up and become butterflies next week. Maybe that will be a good distraction...G'bye Peanut and Juanita...it's been fun watching you grow!
Acrylic discs, flowers and chicks...man I've jumped around a lot today, huh? LOLAh well, at least I've posted something...

Beautiful LO, Jeanne! I LIKE clean and simple...very refreshing! Purty flowers too. ;)
I, too, am surprised at how quickly those baby chicks grew. Won't be long now before they're hatching eggs for breakfast (or providing another source of protein -- did I really just say that?! lol). Hopefully the new butterflies will prove to be a good distraction for Jessica and the rest of her class.
I love your layout, Jeanne! Clean and simple is perfect as not to distract from the beauty of the flowers - everyone of which you deserved I'm sure!!! It looks like the chicks are well on their way to becoming chickens! What a good experience for the kids and grownups, too! Talk to you again soon.
Oh how fun to watch chickens grow...what an experience for all of you
