IT'S CHICKEN DAY!

Wahooo!! It's chicken day! Now that we have so much space, it's time to get some chickens.
Callahan's by the airport carries all sorts of country things- so close in, so far out!

We're going for chicks because they are so danged cute. Something like 1/2 of them are supposed to die on me. That's a total bummer. Not sure what to tell Celeste about death. She's only 4. We talk about bugs dying in the pool, but that's been pretty much the extent of it. A friend had some ideas that we could just say they flew away. Hmmm... she might catch on to that one.

So- CHICKENS CHICKENS CHICKENS CHICKENS!
I'll post photos later!

The magical growing yard

So, we've got this yard- it just grew 3 times larger. It's a little intimidating! There was a fence closing in a section of the yard by the house. The other 2/3 of the yard was out sight, out of mind... it's grassy with a nice grove of trees and a creek. It's a great space, mind you, but boy, that's a big project.

I've got to step up to the plate now and figure out the least expensive way to remove grass and make it look nice. I guess all that planning comes in handy- break it down into small steps.
1. plant vines to hide the chainlink
2. put in soaker hoses for the vines
3. build a fire pit

It will be good to sit with the space for a while and get a feeling for it. The hard part is visiting great houses and trying to figure out how to do what they did in my yard AND not go broke AND be low water.

The real first step is that patch of grass I ripped out right by the mailbox. I'm totally stuck on that. It seemed like a good idea and I've got a complete block on what to do next.

Here's a question for you-
What will not need mowing, doesn't get tall, likes the sun, and won't mind being driven on occasionally?
