Bread Art and a Trip to the Farm

Have any of you seen or read about the “Bread Art Project“?  It is a group endeavor to fight hunger in the United States.  The Grain Foods Foundation and the Feeding America Project have raised $25,000 in donations so far to provide 175,000 meals to families in need. 

Go ahead and have some fun with it. Click above on the “Bread Art Project” link and create your own piece of bread art.  It’s free and it’s fun.  Once at the site, see the lower left corner of the window where it says “Make Art”?  Click there and you will take a ride on an elevator to your own canvas.  Pretty cool!  Let your kids have fun with it!

Remember the other dayI told you about Donna, Shane’s Dog Sitter?  The other night, we were invited to Donna’s farm to meet the baby chicks and the cats, and the cock-a-toos and….all the other wild life. What a beautiful farm it is.  Here is the picture tour…

Nice Do!

A very pretty kitty ... wanted to paw my camera!

You wouldn’t believe what is involved with raising the chicks.  From making sure they don’t deform their legs on a newspaper surface to not drowning in their water.  Then Donna had to make sure a place was built so they could roost when they get older.  A trap door was put into the renovated heifer barn so they will eventually be able to  get outside into a fully enclosed gated area (and I mean top and sides secure), safe from wild life such as coy dogs. 

What a wonderful visit!  So enlightening and such a view.  Thanks Donna.
