Catching up - out and about...

Occasionally we even leave TGGH to get out and about in the world!

Field trip with Common Ground Homeschoolers to Lookout Mountain Nature Center

We love co-op classes - this one was a cake decorating class with Common Ground...

 We went camping with some of the wonderful people from Lakewood UCC

I really need to do this more often than every 6 months...

So, here goes - massive catch up post! Since February, what all have we done around this crazy place? Well...

We moved the chicken coop forward about 4 feet so that we could add a fully enclosed day run on the back side because we lost 6 of our girls to fox during the spring.

We had our first ever "raised by mama hen" chick hatch on Mother's Day - dubbed Little Peep, she has grown into a feisty little pullet!

 We won a loafing shed from Tuff Shed - how cool is that??

We added some new girls to the flock - Norwegian Jaerhorns - the group of them are inseparable, and like perching anywhere they can be all together.

We started on the basement remodel - sort of - and then entirely shelved it for the rest of the summer.

We had a visitor - the chickens were NOT impressed with him coming by so frequently - in this case, on the fence about 10 feet from the coop.

We got pretty and cute little bantam eggs from our girls - yum!

It wasn't all work, even though it seems like it sometimes...
