I suppose that it is time for an update on our flock of chickens. They are, beyond doubt, the most spoiled hens around! Before he left for Oilville, The Wood Artist moved the TajmaCoop into place using 6" PVC pipe. This was quite an operation as he had built it at our garage and the garden was a few hundred yards away. He had to roll it on the pipe all the way.
They didn't know what to think about the green grass and approached it cautiously. I wish I knew my camera better and could capture the birds better. They are so pretty.
Later in the summer, we decided to show about 1/2 of them at our county fair. So we gave them each a bath and spruced them up.
This is Laughing Water's hen, Truffle Hunter.
Mr. Blueberry Eyes with Spike, our one and only rooster. Everyone of them took a blue ribbon and we learned a lot about poultry! Now they are hunkered down for the winter are ramping up the egg production. I must say, we are going to have to sell an awful lot of eggs to pay for all we have into them, though!
In recent news, the children had their big holiday choir concert lastnight. They just loved it! Their director does a wonderful job of coming up with fun songs for them. Laughing Water is also in the select choir and they will perform with our community choir in December.
The kids have a piano recital coming up, too. Mr. Blueberry Eyes is already just sick with fright. I don't know how far to push him on this one. I'm trying an incentive (read: bribery), but I don't know....
We've had a super busy week and I'm looking forward to some down time soon. - Nanette

Hi, it was so nice of you to send us a Christmas letter. I wish we could come see you. We have a lot of similar things happening at our place, including chickens! Could you send me an email through the one on my blog?
And please keep writing! You are going to be on my regular reading list. Maybe we should talk on the phone too.
Hugs!
