Those who plant in tears will harvest SHOUTS OF JOY. They weep as they plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the HARVEST.

Papa Gary's post









Here are some pictures to kind of bring you up on what had happened so far this spring in R.O. Iowa.

The kids wanted some chickens...... so grandpa was asked to help build a chicken coop. these are some pictures to show how things went....... bear in mind that there were other projects that just had to be started while building the coop.









I had lots of help with building........
















Trying to get it right........















Accuracy counts........















More measuring ..... we will get it right...




















We keep going, and measuring......













I had to keep talking to my 5 year old to convince her not to run......









Working to get it right..........














Go in dog gone nail...........







Well I got the other one in, I won't give up on this one.............









There is suppose to be 6........ looks like they are all here......

















HEY..... I was suppose to pet you...... you pecked me...........








See we have 6 baby chicks..............








They are all eating...........















Nice new home...... but the kids make me nervous............

I have chicken envy now!!! Like my daughter, above, said ~ we want chickens so bad!!! You girls did a great job building the chicks house with G.Gary! Now long before you'll be hammering again Emily - building the bigger coop!!!
Nice face making Mac! Leave THAT to you! And little B.Butt - just being cute ~ it's what she's good at! We miss you all so much and are planning a trip this summer to visit (at some point), I hope! Blessings on you and your new birds!

The kids all had a great time. We are now working on what I would call a chicken playpen. We will have a portable coup so they can wander around the yard and only be in the small coup at night and when it is really cold. We will send pics of that once we figure out all the technicalities to it.

Can I come and live next door?? I think that it is SO...beautiful there. I can't believe we live in the middle of the desert when we could live with trees and green. Ah...I am jealous and I am certain the bible tells us that is a sin.
