Happy Pioneer Day!

We will be celebrating and commemorating the day Brigham Young entered the Great Salt Lake valley on the 24th of July, 1847. We will be going to our Ward (neighborhood) breakfast. Customary activities in Utah include parades, devotionals, sporting events, feasts, dances, excursions, and reunions which often serve to remind the Saints of the religious foundations of their heritage. In our family it also means another day for McKay's favorite things....FIREWORKS.

I integrated our new stock of chicks with our remaining chickens and they are still learning to get along. I think they will figure out how to get along soon. To help the chickens get along I've include this rendition of The Blue Danube Waltz, by J. Strauss Jr. I'm sure if J. Strauss Jr. were alive today he'd get a grin out of this rendition.
