It's been a while.
It has been quite the change. It is rewarding. Time goes by much faster. And I have to keep a calendar so I don't forget the many things I have to do each day.
But I live for Tuesdays. We have no where to be. I can hang out with my cute little girl. I can get caught up on laundry, emails, and cleaning. I can stay in my jammies, play princess, and dance.
My little one is asleep, so I had better get this post done before she wakes.
Several months ago, Gary and I started to research about having backyard chickens. We have talked to several people, read countless websites. So we have started our new hobby. Last Saturday we purchased Chicken Little and Baby Chicken (these are their names, but we don't know who is who.) Names picked by Jill. Gary started building there coop. The chickens have been in cages since birth, so they loved being on the grass, scratching, and pecking at the ground. Gary built their coop from an idea in his head. He is amazing. We got two eggs from one chicken on the first two days here. And none until yesterday. We got one. They are very well behaved. Very quiet (thankfully for us and the Marlers) And love to come and greet us when we come out to see them.
We have been trying to train them to walk down their ramp to be on the dirt. This morning one was on the ground and one up in their roost. They were a bit more noisy. I think they are sad when separated. So I took Jill's little broom and tried to shoo it down the ramp. Instead it flew out of the coop right at me. I screamed, Jill laughed, and we corralled it and got it back into the coop. It was pretty funny. I think this is going to be fun.
