A Great Memorial Weekend


The daffodils are blooming.


Our friends Nancy and Mark in Iowa called last night to shoot the breeze and it was so good to talk to them! Mark built a birdhouse/birdfeeder tree using an old peach tree and he's going to send pictures---I'll post one when I get it.


We went to a "fur and feather swap" to get chickens today. Yes---Jeff has finally agreed to chickens! Yea! I was so excited that I danced the chicken dance all day! Unfortunately the gentleman I'm getting the birds from didn't make it to the swap---and that was ok---we need to build a coop first. So if anyone has a coop design...feel free to pass along advice! We're going to get the chickens Tuesday or Wednesday when the coop is done!
