My kids, Greg and Jackie, clearing the area they are going to build a chicken pen for the chickens Patsy is giving them. Jackie is going to pen up her chickens and gether eggs so she does not have to buy eggs in town. She will not have show chickens like Mom. They are supposed to start on the chicken house today, but I have not heard any hammering for that direction. I think they may be following the Lords directions and taking a day of rest. 
I have one yellow hen, gift from brother in spring of 2004; one reddish yellow hen, daughter of Old Yellar, born spring 2005; 2 black and one white-black speckled pullets from red-yellar born fall 2005; One rooster that wondered down from brothers place in summer 2004. They room free and take their chances with the varmits from the Rock Quary. Last year we had many chicks, but only these 4 survived. Curently Whitey is setting on a clutch of eggs. Maybe we will have baby chicks and maybe the varmits will have a feast. Our chickens are show chickens, ie for show only, as we do not bother to even try to find their eggs. I buy eggs in town and let the chickens do as they please.
It looks so peaceful, but later in the night, these clouds brought rumbling stroms throughout the mid-section of our country.
I now live on a 50 acre slice of land in the Qzark hills of northwest Arkansas that was part of the farm my father bought in 1945 when he came home from WWII.
