Chooks!

I have already announced summer projects one and two that have been eating up my time. This is number three. Over Christmas break Mrs. Lemming pointed out that I was spending more time preparing for chickens than for our second child. This would have been funnier if it wasn't so true.

The poor girls came home in the rain yesterday- I don't know if they have ever been outside before, but they were certainly bewildered by not being in a cage with dozens of their sisters, and they had to be shown into the hutch to get some cover. When the sun came out this afternoon they perked up a bit, though. And by evening they had discovered the delicacy that is fresh green grass.
