Outdoor time

Last night, the whole family went out after supper to create an outside pen for the hens.  Again, it’s crudely constructed, but we got it done in less than 2 hours and were back in the house in time for the kids’ bedtime.  I didn’t get pictures of this process and that’s probably a good thing … you’d be able to see –forever—our disordered construction process!



We didn’t let the hens out last night, so this morning, the kids and I went out early to let them out.  That’s 7:45a and I needed to coax Graham out of bed – didn’t take much to encourage him once he realized we’d be letting the hens outside.  The morning was cool and windy, but the hens came out right away and started pecking away at the grass and exploring the area.
