Around the Farm.

I'm really a bad Blogger....lol. Well, I took some pictures from around the farm today. Hopefully these will help make up for the lack of posts.
Not much has been going on around the farm lately, mostly hatching, hatching and more hatching. I have out five batches of chicks right know, and more on the way. I'm really working on getting the black and blue Leghorns out. I'm also trying to hatch out some LB Dutch chicks, since the Eastern Dutch National is going to be at the Ohio National this year!
I've been working on some drawings, nothing major right know. I would like the get started on a series of drawings I have in mind. It would be a series of Secretariat the race horse....but I haven't really started on that yet.
I would also like to mention that the movie "Star Trek" that is out right know is by far the best movie I have seen this year! The graphics were awesome, the acting and story line was very close to the original TV series. Not only was the movie the best, but the previews were amazing! Previews for G.I. Joe, Terminator Salvation, and Transformers 2! All of the previews looked awesome. So if you can get a chance to go and see Star Trek in theaters, it will be well worth your time.......LOL! I know I'm a GEEK!
Well enjoy the pictures!
