ALL BECAUSE.....

...the ladies and a few gents needed a warm dwelling,

and a little confidence on my part (over confidence, maybe), I attacked a few projects outside. The ladies' sleeping quarters is snug as a bug and tight enough the "rat" is no longer feeding on the chicks' grub...so I thought maybe, just maybe I could make a few improvements on our ole garage.

Its windows were rotten, the door needed replaced but that's not what I was up to. I thought I could insulate and put up some panel to make it a bit nicer. Then get a hand (actually just have someone put in a door)! Well, Mr. Husband, seeing my work (pretty good for me) asked our hired hand to help me out and now.....Mr Hirehand is doing it for me(us) AWESOME!!! Hmmmmm, what should I try next ??!!!

the new door... 2 windows going in as I blog!!! Its gonna be wonderful....sigh !

If you have had kids in the last decade or two you would know the book....

"If You Give A Mouse A Cookie"

that kinda what it is like on our yard...make and improvement it just goes on and on and on andonandonandonandon......................

that's how I feel now, will I ever get the mess cleaned up? But it gotta start somewhere and its worse before it better........ right?? So that's how the world turns here....

Kids in school,

Together each evening we check on the ladies and close up their coop,

gather and count the hens' offerings.

Its a great feeling to get so much accomplished.

So long and happy Fall Y'all!
