It's been awhile since I posted here.
We didn't put a garden in this year. :(
The ground needs much work to be rich again.
We did get some rabbits to help with that though.

2 chicks so far.
I figured I better move them into their own pin.
My wife has some show chickens that are now part of the main flock. We'll see how that goes.

I got to spend many hours catching up some of the outside work. Most of the mowing is done and I've start pulling the tomato cages and what not out of the over grown garden.
Hopefully next years garden will actually produce something. :)

The chick and it's mommy. :)
She wasn't to happy with me, but I brought some food for her and the chick, so she can get over it. ;)

Earlier this summer we had a hen that didn't like me messing with one of the nesting boxes. So I've been leaving that one alone and only collecting eggs from the others. I found this today. :)
It was still cheapening and kicking. I hope the little one makes a full welcome into the world.

Wife helped me make a pallet table.
Thankfully she loves me enough to maybe even use it.
