Gracious Rain

Ready To Rip

My sweet Jillian came over one day with her work gloves on…

and said, “Are you ready to rip out that carpet, and have a look at what is underneath?”

She’s a very brave soul and I’m more the contented with whatever, “Ummm, sure!” kind of person.

So, I stepped back and she started yanking–only took her about 15 minutes and she had the whole thing loose and curled up in the middle of the room.

Sure enough–there was dusty, staple-y, positively potentially lovely hardwood underneath that blue carpet.

I am officially the staple remover, duster, sweeper lady now. When that’s finished, I think we’ll have a dang pretty floor here.

That’s my bet.

Free At Last!

We let them out into their yard as a trial run–and then didn’t have the heart to put them back in that silly little tub.

So, I’m afraid this is home now–come rain or shine.

Pretty sure they love it.

So we scrimped and we saved and we gathered every penny from the couch cushions and FINALLY were able to march right on down to the IFA and buy the chicken yard of my dreams. It’s enormous. Rhen had it put up in no time.

But the very next day…

this crazy stuff started pouring down. As badly as I want my little chicken girlies to be free and roam about in their new yard–I’d like them not to drown in it. *sigh*

So, we’ll have to wait a bit for dryer weather to try it out.

Pray for my anxious, crowded birdies–and for some sunshine. Will you?

Tight Space

Well, it’s time. These little girlies are getting so big that their tub-housing just isn’t going to cut it anymore.

We’re working on getting their coop set up outside as quickly as possible. If the weather would just cooperate and warm up we could put them in a run outside–once we have one.

I’m afraid if we don’t hurry…
