New Mailbox

Our old mailbox was leaking water because it had been backed into sometime before we bought the house. Daniel found a new mailbox at Ace Hardware for $10 (regularly $50), it's bigger than a regular mailbox, so nothing has to be folded to fit inside it. He painted and repaired the post and then put the new mailbox on. It looks much better than the old one.

New Chickens

Today, we got 4 new chickens:

2 silver laced wyandottes:

2 black australorps:

When it rains, it pours...

Not wanting to be out done by a white leghorn, one of our rhode island reds decided to lay an egg this morning too.

And the winner is.....

The first eggs came from one of our white leghorns:

Happy 26th Birthday Rachel

I ripped our wedding DVD for Rachel's birthday to make video clips that are more accessible and easier to sort through than the dvd. To see more videos, search for "DRFWedding" on http://www.youtube.com/ or visit our youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/DRWolfpack)

Aerial Yard Pictures

While up on the roof fixing the chimney, Daniel took some pictures of the front yard and back yard.

Chicken Update

Still no eggs from the chicks, but they are getting bigger.
