this is the second bait of them we have enjoyed. the most amazing part is that they are growing in our yard. not in the field or the forest but where we infrequently mow our yard. kassi discovered them and has an uncanny ability to spot them. she calls it her secret eye.
i managed to get a few hours in on the chicken coop today. yes annie it does look a bit like the design of your house, coincidence? i still need windows for my celestory. not my normal mode of operating. i usually collect stuff like that before hand and alter my design to accommodate. it will likely be difficult finding the perfect windows for free or very cheap since my criteria is narrowed.
toly was one of my helpers
although tristan was the most present. toly flitted between the coop and the house while tristan stayed and truly helped. i am always amazed by him. quite often he'll be standing there holding my next tool as i start to look for it, "here you go daddy."
his mind is so present for a six-year-old. when he starts to drift off i encourage him to stay focused because there are lots of dangerous things happening at a construction site. the best piece of safety equipment is an acute mind. a good pair of safety glasses can't hurt either.
here is the remaining pile of steel.
i still have quite a bit left. i might get a few more hours of coop work time this afternoon. i'd really like to have it done before my parents arrive for their visit.
super toly

Morels aren't in season here until July so to say that I'm a tad bit jealous would be an understatement ;).
The coop is looking awesome!
No fair! At least we found some friends with land who said they have morels, so we're hoping in the next few weeks we'll be able to find some.
It's looking awesome! Like a chicken condo... lucky chickens!
The greenhouse goodies are looking great too (from the other blog)... yum... I guess the long wet spring is good for salad, huh?
We went looking for mushrooms this evening, didn't find any though. They look mighty good!
The coop is looking great. It's nice to have a helper. :)

I'm so jealous of the morels. For some reason they hide whenever I am near. And they'd better, lest I fry them in butter and flour and eat them.
The chicken coop looks great.

What a great "secret eye" to have. Morels are an enigma. I found one growing in the middle of our road.
Your coop is really looking fantastic. Good help is so hard to find.

I need to scout around for morels here. Wow! those look great.
Wish we were closer: I have a steel window frame that would probably fit your coop perfectly. Kassi could spot me some 'shrooms for a trade! LOL!
Up here in WV, the yellowish morels that come this time of year are often called molly-moochers. Ever hear that name? Anyhow, later, the darker morels come in here...
