Week 7: Painting Chicken Town Red and Blue

Girls night in.  The storms

had all of us hovering for safe havens. 

The two chickens in the foreground look

speciously like roosters to me.  I've heard

of a rooster relocation program.  That's where

they're headed if they are indeed what they

appear to be.  

We shall see if those raccoons know how to
manipulate a carabiner.  

The color scheme is, of course,  Jayhawk red and blue.  Our
mistral-style wind is keeping me and the girls inside this
afternoon.

This week Jim installed the window on the back of the coop and made the door for the girls' run.  The coop is now rain proof; we expected more than the .5 inch that fell last night. Fortunately, the storms that swept over the state last night, spared us, but we did spend the night in the basement.  The tornadoes this season have been so severe and long lasting that we weren't taking any chances above ground level.  The girls spent the night above ground in their house, and they were on their own.  They survived just fine as did we.
