Sit'n on the porch

[Grandmas Coop]

I was up at 4:15, [ 5:53 now]
We too are very sore and tired, That fall off the cabin roof back in 2013, 11 broken bones, has him still with 7in screws in his pelvis, very bad knees, he get more done than most would at 74 , he got the sheet metal screwed down,
we will put the trim back on either after church or tomorrow, it will be to hot out after church & lunch so, most likely Monday morning.
I put towels in the washer,
That shank I slow cooked had just enough meat and made a very nice beef & barley soup with mushrooms.,
Coop News-
Broody #3 stepped on an egg, so she now has 5,
#1 &2 are under the nesting box / brooder area, when I had DH make it I was hoping that the space would be big enough and it is.
the rest of the 8 hens are doing fine, need a hiney was- why the get such a poppy backend I dont know- I just hold them- spray it off with the garden hose--



I did got my house work done last night after dinner, I helped DH as much as I could, he is very tired and sore, I set out a frozen chicken last night, I'll cook that up for lunch.
Boy I have really enjoyed Alister Begg's ( Truth for Life) sermon series on the book of Jude, so well done! I have listened through all of them twice now.
they church Parkside Church in Ohio goes live in 45min. Pastor Begg doesnt preach every Sunday anymore, as he is getting older the associate Pastors preach too.

Good PNW 5:30 to you all ,up at 4:30,
Its 52 out this morning, we are expecting a high of 90 today, I opened up the coop, Broody 3 is not drinking enough water, she has her very own and food and I set her out on the coop floor twice a day so she will get the blood moving in her legs + drink & poop- but thats all I can do for her.
I let the soaker hoses run slow all night on the veg garden, watered the potatoes and front herb beds last evening.
As soon as my coffee wake up time is done I'll get that chicken I thawed out in the oven and go water the corn.

We started in on the coop roof at 5pm last evening, it was much cooler then 1:30pm,


We finished it at 9pm, got all the tools hauled to the shop, and DH said "you have no idea how glad I am that that task is over " getting up and down on that roof plus on his knees is a killer for him,




On to my next task-
make sure I have fall veg seed planted- I want more
spinach, cilantro, kale, beets etc...
getting all those herbs dried out and bagged up,

Dorothy, I don't think we're in New Jersey anymore! Having coffee at 5 AMon the back porch. No air traffic noise, road traffic, or dogs barking, locked in by fog and the only sound(s) are the wings and chatter of Humming Birds other birds chirping, frogs croaking and a Great Horned Owl in the swamp. All is "right" in my world! All natural PEACE.
