Yesterday was extremely uneventful with the chickens in the backyard. The baby chicks have grown so much, and are way too big to be spending much time at all in their box in the garage. I have been putting them in a pen attached to the older ladies run for the past week or so during the day, so they can get used to each other. Well apparently they did get used to each other, because when I released them all together, nothing happened. I should be happy about that, but then again it makes for a pretty boring story. Are you on the edge of your seat with excitement yet? No..I didn’t think so. The only one who really seemed to care was Naughty. I get the feeling she isn’t as laid back as she had first appeared. She has certainly made it known to the chicks she will not be the lowest in the pecking order anymore. She is getting so bold she even pecked at Jackie, but quickly regretted it and made a run for it. Now that the chicks have tasted what real chicken life is like, I am suddenly the preferred hangout. I won’t go out of my way to disrupt the normal pecking order process, but they know I won’t let them get hurt when I’m around. Mamma Hen here.

Annie Adams
Genre: Romance | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
All florist Quincy McKay wants is success in business, a happy family and the perfect romance with Alex Cooper, the hottest cop in the state. Not necessarily in that order, of course. Is that so much to ask? The trouble is, between Alex’s job and planning weddings, it’s getting harder and harder for Quincy and Alex to find any time to themselves. Every time the flames of passion ignite between them, someone or something shows up to fizzle the fire, including her meddling mother, her formerly absent father and even Elma, the handsiest waitress in the West. Wedded bliss is contagious in small town Hillside. Should be great news for Quincy, except that one groom is missing and another is the prime suspect. Hard for a florist to make a living that way, and even harder for her to stay out of the investigation, especially when the suspect is her sidekick, K.C.’s fiancé. Just when she thinks nothing else could go wrong, a ghost from Alex’s past comes back to haunt them both, which could keep them apart forever, if someone doesn’t kill Quincy first. She’s stumbled into the clues to solve the case of the missing groom and finds a corpse as well, proving that planning a wedding can literally be murder.
