Memorial Day Weekend

Our Memorial Day long weekend has been quite the busy one. We decided to buy a dog run kit as a run for the chicks. At least this way we can easily break it down and take it with us when we move. It is 7.5' x 13', and 6' high and was quite easy to put up, everybody helped :)

Getting it located was a little bit of a mission, but we managed okay and finally got it where it belongs. We had to bury the one side a little to get it level, but all in all I think it looks great, and the chicks think they are the bees knees! Once they were released into it they ran around like hooligans chasing each other and attempting to fly all over the place. Funny chicks :)

Because of the roof overhang on the front of the coop and the height of the run, we couldn't have the run right against the coop, so we had to make a caged tunnel from the coop to the run. Hey, you do what you have to! LOL!

We left as much greenery as possibly for them to peck at, I'm sure it won't be long before it's all gone and just dirt.

I also took some time to plant the pots out front.... because of our huge tree I can only put in shade plants. I LOVE hosta, and got two different types.

I think I prefer the first one, but variety is the spice of life, or so they say! We've also reseeded the grass out front, so it should be looking real pretty this summer!

And, as always, Impatiens in the two big wooden barrels :) I also love Impatiens, so pretty.

I found a stripey pink one, pretty eh?


Well, that's our news for this weekend. We hope those of you in the USA have had a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend, and took a moment to remember the fallen.
