Knowing we were receiving around fifteen more chickens next weekend we focused all hands and attention to the building of an enclosure or fence around the chicken house. Ricky and Fred began on it Saturday morning while Little Ricky and I went to his 4H Shooting Club's archery lesson. When we returned we joined in the project. By the late afternoon we discovered we needed more supplies and one negative about living out in the country is there is no hardware or building supply store open after noon on Saturdays or at all on Sundays. Yeah, I know - how many times does a man run to the hardware store during a project? At least 4 or 5 times was my experience in the city. But I digress. So we said we'd finish Monday. We'd mow the yard on Sunday because the grass was getting high and out here that's not a good thing since critters like to hide/live in tall grass. On Sunday afternoon Ricky went to mow and the tire/wheel on the mower was not able to cooperate, so we had to put that off 'til Monday also. Then Monday morning we awoke to a ominous forecast of severe storms with 100% chance of rain ALL day. And to continue for the next two days. Oh, no. No chicken enclosure or lawn mowing! But God's grace "rained" down on us! It was sunny most of the day! So when Ricky and Fred got home from work Monday afternoon they completed the chicken enclosure and mowed the yard! The rainy stormy weather waited until dark to begin and it has been raining through the night and continues as I write. God is awesome! Now we're ready for the chickens this weekend!
