So for the past couple of weeks we’ve had only two lonely hens pecking about the yard. They won’t be lonely for much longer. Yesterday a batch of newly.hatched chicks arrived and now, of course, the Hatke house is buzzing with Chick Mania.
And you gotta admit they are cute.
IN OTHER NEWS: I will be traveling to New Orleans at the end of June for the American Library Association Conference where I will be giving some talks, presentations and interviews. I’ll also have a little booth with art and books. More information about my involvement can be found here and here.
PS: Starting with the sketch of the chicks above, I'm going to be putting little drawings and sketches up on EBAY in hopes of starting a little Spelunkers Fund for the Hatke girls this summer. You can find the Chicks here and the Girls on the Porch sketch here. If you have seen a piece on this blog that you're interested in, drop me a note in the comments or email me: ben (at) hatke (dot) com.
