When I started this I wasn&#8217;t at all sure that I could do it. My son Steve insisted that I could and that he would help me. He set it up for me and showed me what to do. Steve is in I.T. which is very useful. He wrote me my own program which we call &#8221; the blog resizer&#8221;. He knew that if it was too difficult for me to put photos on, I wouldn&#8217;t bother and he said that photos are such an important part of a blog. He showed me how to put my photos into the resizer and then onto my blog and they will always be the right size. At first I struggled and had all my instructions written down but soon got the hang of it and now no longer need them. Steve said I could call him when ever I needed his help as this was our project and helps keep us close. I did used to call him in the early days with problems but haven&#8217;t needed to for a long time now.<\/p>\n<p>I got my chickens four months ago and really love having them. I wanted to record everything. I thought at first that I wouldn&#8217;t have much to say but soon found that there was always something new going on with my flock. I have totally surprised myself by how much I have written and can&#8217;t believe I have produced 100 posts in four months when I have never done anything like this before and am a complete technophobe. I have enjoyed it more and more along the way and it&#8217;s lovely to get comments sometimes too as I didn&#8217;t think anyone but my family would ever read it.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate this 100th post I thought I would put in some photos of the things my girls like doing best, apart from eating treats that is!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1776\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/scratching.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1776\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1776\" title=\"scratching\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/scratching.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/scratching.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/scratching-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We love scratching together<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1777\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/dustbathing.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1777\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1777\" title=\"dustbathing\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/dustbathing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/dustbathing.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/dustbathing-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We love dust baths together<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1778\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/closeup.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1778\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1778\" title=\"closeup\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/closeup.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/closeup.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/closeup-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1778\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We are ready for our close up<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1779\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/close_up_perching.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1779\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1779\" title=\"close_up_perching\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/close_up_perching.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/close_up_perching.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/close_up_perching-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1779\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We love perching together<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Although the second dust bath photo is a bit cropped, I loved the close up of their faces.
