Happy Friday 4/3/20
Happy Friday! How are you holding up? We’re moving slowly around here (per our usual) but are about to ramp up construction on the chicken coop. We have chicks due in 10 days! This is the first time we’ll have chicks (we adopted our last flock after they were grown) and we are beyond excited. The kids are already naming them and Daphne’s calling herself their mother hen and it’s a real bright spot around here!
Another bright spot: the giant rainbow on the front of our house. We’ll be sharing it on Monday over on instagram and we’d love it if you joined us (more on that here).
