A Little Privacy, Please

This morning I went to see how generous The Girls were feeling (aka: check for eggs).  This is what I found when I opened the nesting box:

The Girls have a total of three nesting boxes available to them.  Which should be more than a sufficient number for 6 chickens according to all the research The Man of the House did before building the hen house.  And the other two boxes were both completely empty at the time.

So, why in the world these two hens felt the need to crowd into one box at the same time is completely a mystery to me.  Apparently they are not familiar with the concept of personal space. 

Busy Saturday

Today has been a busy one.  One of those Saturdays for getting chores done and things accomplished.  It didn't exactly start out that way.  I was pretty lazy for most of the morning.  Enjoying some coffee, some time with the grandkid, some doing nothing.  Then I got to work.

I laundered the sheets and remade the bed.

I have done several loads of laundry - hung on the line to dry out in the fresh air and sunshine.

I have cleaned up the kitchen.

I have rinsed down the chicken house and helped The Man of the House move it to a new location.  Also cleaned out their water and food dispensers, and refilled them.

I weeded out the flower bed.

I considered transplanting the Irises growing next to the garage to somewhere they will be more visible.

I have straightened and reorganized the pantry and storage closet. 

I have cleaned the main bathroom.

Yep, it's been a good day so far.  Now I am headed to fold some of that laundry. (Which is the worst part of any laundry day in my opinion), consider our veggie planting options, start a list of things  I want to get done around here this spring/summer, and hopefully still have some time left in the day to do some crochet and read a little. 

Happy weekend!
