A Weekend of Simplicity---of sorts

                                           
 Yesterday, like today, was a beautiful morning.  We got an early start on the coop and made some definite progress.  Didn't end up getting it completed to go pick up our chickies but they will come soon enough.  We checked hogs and got ready to meet a group of friends from church for brunch.  Wow!  It was really good and their house was amazing.  Just made us think about how great it will be to someday be out of debt and overhaul our house to look that great. 

After brunch we went to the hardware store and worked on the coop some more.  My father-in-law came over to help a little bit which we were definitely thankful for.  I think right now we are slightly over our $150 budget...but I will rework the numbers later.  There might be a few boards that we can return to get the supplies to come back down.  Every penny counts!




Here is where we are right now on the coop

We had to take a break on the coop to go check ewes and move some pens around.  Didn't take a long time but we were so tired (and a little sunburnt) so we decided to call it a day on the hen house.

We are a little sad we aren't able to spend more time with the sheep lately because of this darn coop...but once it is done, it will definitely be worth it.  We already have 7 people wanting to buy eggs on a regular basis!  Those hens need to get here soon so we can try and "re-coop" the money we spent on this coop...I know lame joke....
