I am in scottsdale.

This warm weather so soon after all that rain caused a wood door in the back of my coop to warp just enough that a couple girls were able to squeeze out and into the dangerous zone of my pit bull dog. Alas, one black copper and one easter egger are no longer with us. The door is all fixed now...
