A few days before our family’s arrival, Jenna pointed out the chickens in the cucumber garden. No cukes this year! Roland is mad!!! He decided that we would quit feeding and watering the chickens and return them to where they came from and pen them in so they cannot come on our side. I told him to wait until after the kids arrived as I thought perhaps Randy could assist as he is tall. Before we sent them on their way, I was hoping Devan would have at least one experience with feeding them and collecting eggs.
Carrie enjoyed the free-range eggs
and says it is something she will splurge on as the free-range are healthier
than most of what is sold at the grocery store.
I personally don’t care about the cucumbers. I couldn’t see Richard eating all that would
grow – but now we will never know. Not
this year anyway.
The chickens are still in the
yard. Levi’s dog had chased them away –
but only temporarily. I wish Bonnie
would do that. She isn’t as intimidated
by the chickens as she used to be, but certainly not a threat to them. She was to Levi’s dog however and so he
called for someone to collect her so that there wouldn’t be any trouble between
her and Bonnie.
Levi worked hard on tearing down the
deck and improving the yard – only the chickens are still there and returned to
their favorite haunt though in a different form. I hope the chickens don’t inconvenience what
Levi is meant to accomplish.
