Helpful hints for building coops

thanks cappy, I am just starting with cinnamon buns. going to tweak a few things to make them more to my liking, less brown sugar, less frosting. going to try to make glazing like we had when I worked for
Dixie Creme donuts.
cool looking chicks, how do you get them to pose for you ?

Low 50's to high 40's, blue sky and no wind. Windy and pouring rain last night and should be the same tonight but beautiful out right now. Went out and planted the last of the new shrubs and did some yard tidy up.

DP harvested some of the winter mustard greens and we had them with bacon and the black eyed peas. Those were the best mustard greens I've ever had. I wonder if they are that good when grown in the spring or summer? Since I now have 8 raised beds I might devote 1 bed to greens.

I am longing to get my new fish tank set up, but my back hurts and we need to move the furniture around.
Weather is mid 50s and rainy.

Pictures please once you have it set up.

I am longing to get my new fish tank set up

I've got a 55 gal here that's been empty for several years,
it's yours if you come and get it

Got TWO eggs today
Sure was nice to see a hen in a nest this morning while I was choring,
surprised to find 2 eggs when I collected later.
Might actually be 3 different birds laying.

Got a jar of arrabiata for a gift(long story) made a pan of lasagna with it today.
Wonder if any will make it to the freezer this time....or will I eat it all week?

Will do. So far I assembled the undergravel filter and put the background on. We rearranged so much furniture it was almost like moving!

Yeah, too far to your place for a tank! And our log cabin is pretty small, no room for a big tank. But thanks anyway
