Back Yard Fun!

Have you been outside lately? It is gorgeous! Every evening we hang out in the back yard and enjoy the weather while it lasts!
Here is a picture of our beautiful Barred Rock Hen! I just love her bright red comb.

Did you know? The hen with the largest comb is considered the most beautiful and desired by the roosters. I guess she is quite the hottie!



Can you see that in the background? Well, that is just the beginnings of the new Coop! I can't wait until it is finished! Can you say egg salad? Egg omelet? Boiled Egg? Egg whites? Egg soup... Eeeww!



Is that really irrigation? Nope! Ed flooded the yard with the hose, I guess because he thinks he knows how to cultivate super nice turf? I used to love playing in the irrigation as a child. My brother would hook up a tube or piece of wood to his three wheeler and pull us through it! Kinda like a white trash ski boat! If we were feeling super adventurous he would damn up the ditch and we would all hop in the tube, pull the plug and Let R' Rip! Who needs white water rafting?

Kingston sure loved his push from sis!




Can anyone see Dede?
