The Quack Shack

[Miss Lydia]

We couldn't get it to stick at all here! Classic much ado about nothing! Did come down for several hours but nothing to show for it this has been quite the let down for the kids this winter! Usually we have at least one they can play in!

We usually have 2-3 nice snows this is our biggest so far about 2”. But I will say I am too much of a southie to live where it gets any worse like up in @duluthralphie neck of the woods.

Agree with that!! Don't mind a couple snows but I like dealing with it for a few days and gone!

That "S" word isn't even in my vocabulary. But don't you worry, I have plenty of other "S" words to make up for it.

So, day one of The Quack Shack construction is in the books. It was mostly spent trying to figure out exactly how to construct it and getting supplies. Once we built the floor, I realized that it was so big that it would be impossible for me to lift up the roof to clean it out or reach all the way across to collect eggs. It's 8ft x 4ft, which I didn't think would look as big as it is. So we decided mid-build to just make it a walk in shack. So we'll have to get a few more 2x4s to finish, but that's no biggie. Everything else we already had except for the metal roof.

We're building it under a tree where there's shade all day, but it's going to go back behind the chicken enclosure. Chris seems to think he can just lift the whole thing up with the forks on the tractor... I hope he's right.

If you need an extra pair of hands, or paws, Tinsel the farm cat is your go-to guy.

Obviously farm life is hard.

Jello Puff isn't real sure why we need a Quack Shack... she's not too keen on the idea of adding anything that quacks to the farm.

These guys got to free range today and no one died! It's a spring miracle!

I'm alive Ralphie. Bella got his name from Twilight, that vampire show or whatever, niece named him. I did think for sure Bella was a female, she had know signs of being a drake till like 3 months ish ago.

Haven't been talking much or visiting much. Sisters getting sent to a mental hospital (Being transported to another 9 month stay) and wants my parents to "Un-adopt" her.

Mom's aneurysm is being checked after 2 years of not having health insurance, so life is busy right now... also siblings are getting at each other lately so a lot of stress going on between me aving to make sure my mom isn't stressed while she attempts to quite smoking, taking care of the animals, trying to convince father to go to the hospital (He's been horribly sick and refuses to go to a hospital) Ugh, I thought most people didn't grow up till... early 30's?

Right now everything is starting to settle.. today sister sent a horrible letter, though. Mom is getting an apointment, which was good to hear, most likely going to have to go down to Philly, which is where she use to go.

Lucky will be gone within 1-2 days, hoping Bella will brighten up.

I'm sorry you're going through so much. Hoping things start to look up for you and your family.
