Oh well, chicks are exciting, more so in spring than winter.Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390734722041024250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-90361185212551330332008-01-29T18:29:00.000-06:002008-01-29T18:29:00.000-06:00Hey, just wanted to say I love the new header pict...Hey, just wanted to say I love the new header picture up top!sugarcreekfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655268212094370061noreply@blogger.com
