Chicken To-Do's abound!

Our chicks were born today. Forever, until it matters no longer, I will refer to November 8, 2010 as the birthday of the newest additions to the Hislop family. They ship today or tomorrow, and will arrive on Wednesday... we hope. If they fail to arrive by Thursday, their doom will be most absolutely imminent.

In other news, Ryan and I built a chicken coop while he was here on vacation. It's almost finished- I just have to build the roof. It's pretty fancy, and apart from the nails, built with recycled materials. The wood used to be a deck, and the roof was some scrap left over from another project. Just as soon as I (really, probably Faith) is able, there will be pictures posted of both the coop and the babies!! Eggs will be available in about 5-6 months on a limited basis-- determined by the amount of affection we feel for you. Yes, you.

In other news- new design on the blog... would love some feedback, but only if it's positive! That's a joke... any feedback is welcome.

Faith always closes with "Until next harvest" but I haven't come up with anything catchy just yet, so I'll leave it with a simple ciao.

Ciao.
