A Farm

My other half has officially declared us a farm! We have livestock now ( 6 pretty ugly chickens). The kids are in heaven and I can't wait for the eggs. Getting them was a chore, being that I have never touched a live chicken before. The gal that I got them from just threw me in there to help catch them and we had chickens flying everywhere! We finally caught my number and down the road we went. They seem to like their coop well enough, but we're going to have to make some adjustments as we go.
The girls have named them so they are here to stay. I'll post pictures later of our "lovely" ladies.

My Oh My!

It has been quite awhile since I have posted, sorry about that. We've had an ick that ran the gambit of the family and kept me busy.

Now that the end of school is near, tomorrow!!!!! We have been getting into spring and summer more whole heartily. My garden is coming along fine and the old shed has now been transformed into the chicken coop. Wednesday the chickens will come home to roost! ( I hope). We went to look at them yesterday and I was warned that they weren't pretty, but oh, some of the little ladies are in dire need of a coat. They had molted and been pecked bald! They were truly some sorry chickens, but we will love them anyway. I guess I could use it as a teaching lesson somehow about beauty and eye of the beholder and not on the outside but inside that counts....... I don't know, my girls may not buy it because I don't think I can sell it hard enough. The chickens were pretty pathetic.

Well, it's hot and humid the way a good Kansas spring should be. I was beginning to worry that global warming was hitting us, the way it had been so cold and wet. Bring on the sun. Off to my next project of the day, plumbing.
