Jeff worked on the new chicken coop all day yesterday. We're going to call it "The Yooper Coop". We got the rough-sawn lumber from the nice folks who own Iverson's Snowshoe's and if you haven't ever gone there to check out their operation....I suggest you do. It's snowshoes made the old-fashioned way and it's a fascinating process. Anyway, they have a lumber mill too---and we got some coop wood! 
I planted a few Shasta daisy starts this week and couldn't resist taking a pic of one of them. I just love daisies. Kim Gordon asked about the pink daisy I have in an earlier post, wondering where it will grow; Kim, I think it would grow fine in your area. Daisies are pretty hardy! I'd be happy to give you a start of my pink ones---I'm looking for rhubarb up here---it's a bit hard to come by. At home I had a friend who had a huge patch and I sure miss it now! Things grow so different in this climate; I'm just now getting veggies plants in the ground and still, we had a frost warning last night. Back to the rhubarb....I'm thinking about rhubarb upside down cake and vanilla ice cream!
