Moving Big Chicks to the Coop

Mel and I decided to move our 3 big hens from the pen at the barn to the coop behind the house.
I held 2 hens and Mel had 1 while he drove the Mule for the transfer.  I'm sure we were quite a sight!!
It is quite a challenge to hold 2 hens and attempt to take pictures at the same time!

The hens and chicks coop

Our hens settled right in, especially since they can wander around the yard.

They are enjoying being by the door on the front porch.

The patio is another favorite spot of theirs.

All seems well with our hens and chicks!

I think the "Girls" are more than happy with their new home!

Jett Spends Time on the Farm

School was out so Jett could spend extended time on the farm.

Holding the baby chick

Mel needed feed from the feed store so we stopped by there before we delivered meals.  The store has unique candy and gum.  Jett bought the Gold Mine Nugget Bubble Gum.

Choices, choices, choices

Waiting to get the meals

Jett handed me the dessert.

Back at home, it was time for hot dogs!

Jett worked on fold-n-fly airplanes.

He also built a wooden model airplane.

Cedar Fence

Mel had been thinking of what to do to cover up an unsightly fence next to our entrance ( it is owned by a company that does not take care of the fences.  On our way to Texas he had seen cedar posts at various entrances.

On our way back from meeting the Woods Family, we stopped at Teskey's Farm Supply Store in Weatherford, Texas and bought several cedar posts for our project.

Getting the posts ties up

Now to add mulch and landscape timbers

Off to an antique store to purchase some items for our project

We found a corn sheller, wagon wheels, and cream can at the antique store.
