Several months ago, Gma announced to me that she thought it would be a terrific idea if we had some chickens. "Huh?" I said. "You heard me", said she, then went on about how easy it was and "she read bla bla...", and "she heard bla bla..." and so on and so on. Well I says to my self, "self", I says, "you know I do (practically) everything Gma wants, or how else is it we'd been married so many years?
So Mothers Day and Gma's birthday are usually one in the same, so I surprised her by getting her a book, and some other chicken necessities, and told her I had been secretly building a chicken coop. So we (CJ and I ) proceed to try and complete the hen house. I decided to try and make it kinda nice in case I had to move into it some day.
Is this a surprised look, or what?

We I think it was around May 14th when we told GMa about it, but several things popped up, including someones wedding, delaying the project. We finally put the finishing touches on the coop today, July 8th. We had to get it done because we now need to turn our attention into preparing the back yard for another wedding!
Famers GMa and GPa!
Stay tuned. We hope to get chickens next weekend!
