Today’s run was toasty.  11 miles.  88F 60% humidity.  Boy, was I ever glad to be done.

I had staggered into the house and plopped myself on the sofa when #1 Son comes to me and says, “Come here.  I want to show you something.”

Now, I was beat.  Felt like I couldn’t take another step, so I said to him, “Just tell me.”

“Nope.  You have to come and see.”  He answered.

*Heavy sigh*

“Alright.  But this had better be good.”  I grumbled.

My feet felt like lead but I followed him outdoors into the yard.  He had me follow him over to the chickens.  Next, he had me peek into one of the nesting boxes.

“Do you see it?”  He asked.

I strained to see because it is dark in those nesting boxes.  I heard it before I saw it.

“Peep!  Peep!  Peep!”

I searched frantically in the dark and then I finally found it!

A baby chick had hatched during the night!  How awesome was that!?!  Rover (The Mama) and Peter (My Rooster) are parents!

Does that make me a Grandma???

Here is the pic.  It is dark because Rover is a black hen and she it protecting the chick.  Hope you can see it.
