Well, that remains to be seen.

Thanks, but no :p

My step dad has already called wanting Ernie to go to the house their moving out of and help rip out carpet, remodel the bathroom, and who knows what else. We still have so much to do here to get ready for winter, it ain't funny.

We just today decided that the addition to the red coop is going to be put on hold so we can use the materials from my mom's old coop to build an 8x8 coop in the Welsummer's pen. The woodbox coop will be taken back out of their run and made into a pen for someone else. This way I can winter them over in the pen they are currently in, enabling me to keep them separated, and therefore pure, all winter long!

Sounds like Chase and Boss are really happy with the new pasture!

Not my best morning.

Woke up, my right eye felt funny. It felt heavy and wierd, so I went to the bathroom to check it out in the mirror.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparantly at some point yesterday, I got into some poison ivy. Must have had it on my hands, and then touched my face, because my eye lid is swollen THREE TIMES it's normal size with it!!! :barnie :he It itches like MAD but I'm trying NOT to scratch it.

So I can see OK out of it, so I get the morning coffee started. Next thing I know DS1 is coming out of their room to tell me that DS2 is in the bathroom vomiting. Great, just great, we've a sick kid. Not even five minutes later he starts screaming DS3 is throwing up on their carpet.

:he

So I get that cleaned up. Yuck. Thank goodness the baby is actually behaving today, compared to yesterday and his all day long screaming. Ask Becca, we were on the phone and she could hear him. I'll be glad when that tooth he's cutting is through.

Drying laundry this morning, and yes, I'm using the dryer, as the house was a bit chilly. I figured it would help warm the house up a bit and take some of the dampness out.

Lots of heavy dew outside this morning, and last night was quite a bit chilly.

Plan for today is to work on the Welsummer's winter coop and the run to the red coop. We're re-doing the run like we did the other pen earlier this year, framing in the wire and such.

Hope the boys feel better soon!

OUCH! Sorry to hear about the poison ivy. :hugs DH used to get it a lot when he did equestrian ring construction. Do you have any jewelweed? That is good for poison ivy.

It was 48 here this morning; sweater morning. :)
