Our hen Penny had gone broody over some eggs that we're pretty sure her nephew Clem wasn't old enough to have fertilized (though goodness knows he was trying!) so our neighbor Theresa gave Lance 11 eggs (Cochins and Rhode Island Reds, I believe) that none of her hens were trying to hatch on Sunday the 6th. Last night we could hear some peeping and sure enough this morning two were out already, both Cochins. Darned cutest thing you ever did see (those fluffy feet!).
Lance has been working on a bathroom remodel in town (usually taking Isaac or Gideon) and putting a torque converter on the minibike so it has enough power to make it up our hill at slower speeds. I've been busy keeping up with daily chores without them and planning for the upcoming school year. We've been working on preparing a floor pad and consolidating firewood on the spot where we'll eventually finish a woodshed as well plans for an outdoor screened kitchen pavilion. And we've been coming along on getting Dan's house prepared for plastering, moving all the junk we've been storing under his roof to the sheds, insulating the roof, and putting in windows.
