Chicken Barn Roof Deleaking Extravaganza

The roof in the new chicken barn has been leaking a bit all summer as we worked in it, but it leaked like a sieve when the last 2 hurricanes passed through. Tanya had to listen to me grumble about it when she was down helping with corn, so she invited her siblings to a roof deleaking party, to coincide with our Thanksgiving meal plans. One of them forwarded the invite to everyone in the facebook world, but only the Fav Five showed up. No pics of them working, but after they were done they definitely wanted their pictures taken. A light rain last evening didn't show any leaks, so hopefully when the next hurricane passes by, my hens will stay dry. Thanks guys! Afterwards Grandma and Gilbert came and we enjoyed a great turkey dinner, with turnup, squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, dressing, apple and pumpkin pie. And wine & beer. And we all told what we were thankful for....



This Week

Wow, 10 days since the last post. Some things we have done this week. I took Carrie and some of her friends (Lexie & Beth pictured) to a movie last Saturday. We have been working on the chicken barn all week. And working away at the corn, half a load a day, waiting for silo to settle so I can get it all in. 3 more loads as of today. Friday night, Tanya came down and took Carrie to see Carrie Underwood concert. TJ bought the tickets for Tanya, but he is busy digging potatoes. He is half done he says, so we hope for good weather for him. Carrie was kind enough to come out to the farm for me to take her picture.
