A Busy Day

This a.m. the sun started breaking through the clouds and encouraged the guys to get outside and do a couple of the tasks on our "to do" list...
Last winter a strong wind tour off some of the siding on the end of the garage. Today the rest of the siding was taken off and newer boards put up so the replacement siding would have something to be fastened to. We also had some storm windows that used to be on our front porch that Wayne thought would be a good addition to the end wall (it's south facing). As Matt and Nathanial worked the wind picked up and the black clouds started filling the sky. They pounded in the last board as the first sprinkles started and the 3 storm windows were screwed in place just as the rain picked up. There's no "after" picture yet, but you can be sure it looked a lot better than it did when the guys first started.
Marc worked in the garden. He helped fill in the raised beds that he, Rachael, and Wayne put together Thursday.
And here's the latest picture of 'the flock'...currently 37 chicks. They can get quite noisy in the mudroom. Wayne and I are looking forward to them 'graduating' to the workshop...hopefully within the week the brooder can be moved. Jonathan says they are whistling. He also calls them "chicken children".
