Waiting for spring

In day 29 of 30 with rain here, I'm not feeling particularly inspired by this spring.  So much rain...  

I took Pepper to the river for a walk on the beach, but the river was so high there was no beach in sight.  

Alex found a way to entertain himself at the Big River Grill in Stevenson after an exciting evening at the town garage sale.

Those chickens grow up so fast!  29 days old today.  Even though I try not to, I'm picking favorites, like this thoughtful feather footed cochin.

 The frizzle is having a bad feather day, I think.  Must be all the rain.
