Spring cleaning on the land!

Lots going on out on the mountain.  John just finished our chicken coop and brought 4 chickens, Matt finished the rain collection system at the shed, and I gave our porch a makeover.  

 One of many beautiful sunsets!

Chicken coop construction

The men...being manly!

Red waiting patiently for the chickens to come out and meet him.

 Almost finished, just needs some fencing.

The lovely ladies

Inspecting their new palace..

 Bribery with a tomato to keep the chicks around.

I love the white one!

Finishing touches

Our lettuce patch

 Delicious!

Ready for some company!

Landen likes relaxing out here too!
