Happy Tuesday!

I hope today is a wonderful Tuesday for you.  We have a storm coming hopefully some rain that will settle the dust. The chicken house is coming along very nicely. I thought I would share with you some of the progress from this weekend.

 

It is going to be such a nice little house, I keep telling Ron that it is too nice for chickens. The wind blows through the trees out there and it is so peaceful and quiet. I have a fascination with those teeny-tiny houses that people are living in and I could see how this one would be perfect for a tiny little getaway.

 

The nest boxes will be right here. It will have a little door to lift so I can just reach in and get the eggs without having to go into the hen house.

 

He reused one of the windows from the fort he tore down for the window here. The man door is big and nice so I can clean it easier than the one I have now. I would love to have a Dutch door on it but chickens don't need a Dutch door. I love those things.

Here is the little hen door. It will have a door on it too so I can lock them in at night. I have a door now on my coop and they don't like to be locked in much. The hot wire has worked so well I am not sure if we will have one on this one yet. We used the book Building Chicken Houses for Dummies. It is a good thing Ron isn't a dummy. There are so many errors in the plans that he has had to re-engineer so much of the plans. He finally said that the plans in the book were maybe just guidelines.

 

We went out at sunset last night and picked some pomegranates. They are very nice this year. My chickens love to eat these. I like to pick the ones that have split and take those to the chickens. I love watching them pick out seed by seed and smack their beaks as they taste the juice. It makes me laugh. They get a faraway look in their eyes as they first taste the juice.

Yesterday the boys told us they found a new T.V. show for us to watch. I am in no way endorsing  this show for the record. Ron wanted to watch it, so we found this show called Sleepy Hollow. Since I love the story by Nathanial Hawthorne, I thought well okay. I had nightmares all night. I don't do well with head chopping.
Any way it was dark and We live back from the road and we don't get many people who come all the way down the driveway. I was already creeped out from that silly show, when someone rang our doorbell.
Ron went to the door, and it was this woman who comes to our door at weird times. She always asks for someone named Gordon. She turned and left and walked off out to the fields. They put in a park at the end of the street and now we have the weirdest things going on now.  Do you notice where you live that times are just getting stranger and stranger?

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day, here is keeping my fingers crossed for rain, and clouds.
