Happenings in These Parts

My egg gathers with three eggs from yesterday.  The hens seem to like their new home but need another nesting box. At night they all cram into the one box you see below.  It's rather comical.

Axel build this for the 4 hens and one rooster.  They need a bit more protecting when it's windy so we are adding things to it everyday.  Today we looked out the window and the rooster had escaped.  New netting added to the top, we live and learn.

The boat is finally in the water and getting ready for some fishing this week. Axel worked on it all winter, totally redoing it.  It looks awesome with a new motor and all :)
I've come upon 2 bird's nests the last week.  I just feel awful when I have to move them only to see the birds don't come back.  This one was under a tarp that I picked up.  I guess at this time of the year it's important to look under things before moving them.  Another lesson learned.

I've taken it upon myself to stack all of our wood for next winter.  It's rather enjoyable actually.  This is were the first bird's nest was found.  I would have been a nice spot if the we wanted the wood to sit on the grass in  a bit pile all summer.
