Free Bird!

Just an update on the chicken coop which is now finished and has eight happy fowl living the good life inside. The kids are always crowded around the coop and love watching their little chicken antics.
The school is holding an election for their names, but almost for certain the little polish gal will be called Einstein. How appropriate, right? We have to thank Miss Jane for coming up with that one!

Here's the finished coop before the chickens went in.

Teagan and Jane got to leave school early just help with this, lucky girls!

(Look there's ^Einstein^)

They have been in the new coop for about two weeks now and they look happy, well as happy as a chicken can look anyways.

Now that the chicken coop in done the Borton Community Garden can begin!
We meet with Lisa Shipek from Watershed Management Group (http://www.watershedmg.org/) this morning about holding a rainwater harvesting workshop to use earthworks for retaining water for our edible garden at Borton!
But that's a whole 'nother blog.

Hey, it looks like you disabled the comments for your previous entry, but I wanted to tell you that I hear what you are saying.

I love your blog and almost posted a link to it, but then I thought maybe you wanted to keep it more personal/private. But you have such a great voice. You have such a great voice. If you are comfortable with it....
