Talk About Tuesday

You're all invited over for dinner! I can do that now because our 16 chickens have finally moved into their Chicken Palace that Stranger built and we have clean sidewalks and a front porch without poop all over them for the first time in two years. Yay!!!

You wish you were me don't you? Where getting to and from your front door without dodging chicken poop is the highlight of your year? The Chicken Palace still needs a door and some paint. Stranger scoffed at me when I said it had to match the house. Apparently farmers don't care if things match but farmer's wives do.

I didn't know this but chickens need poles to roost or sleep on and nesting boxes to lay their eggs. Look at these comfy little nesting boxes. Luckily they share so we didn't need a box for each hen.

It really makes me wish I could have just layed an egg and made the family take turns sitting on it for six weeks instead of enduring a nine month plus one week pregnancy (yes, I want credit for that extra week). We could have had nine little chicks in one shot and fulfilled all of Stranger's wildest dreams of having twelve children. If they could toddle after me from day one, potty trained and pecking crumbs off the floor that would be even better since I could save time on feedings and vacuuming.

No, actually I would miss that squishy newborn stage. Not the changing ten diapers a day but just the squishy part. I don't know what's wrong with them but none of my kids let me suck on their faces anymore.

I almost forgot to mention that Stranger also hauled in a couple loads of gravel so I can once again park in my garage just in time for this cold snowy weather we're having. After we had our cement poured it was too high for us to drive onto but now we can. Yay again!!!

What do you have to talk about this week?
