This week the sun never showed. It has been gloomy, rainy, and cold. It sure puts you in an unpleaseant mood. On Tuesday we picked up the chicken coop that we purchased from a neighbor I met through homeschool. She is young and very sweet with 5 children under the age of 9, The coop consisted of a little shed with a run. The boys took the day off from school to help Mark and Tony pick it up and worked on it all day. They had to take it apart, load it on a trailer, and haul it home. Then they had to build a door for it and anchor it into the concrete. It was an all day project. Jake was pretty excited and proud of his little coop. He couldn't wait to put his hens in it and sat in a little chair watching them. He is quite the chicken farmer. He has his favorite chicken, Dolly, who we is the only chicken to survive from the beginning. Then there is Helen, she came from Tony and talks to you and follows you all over. I had a doctor appointment in Des Moines and ran a few errands so was gone most of the day. In the evening we celebrated Karen's birthday by having her over for dinner. Mark grilled steaks and the kids made a cake.
