Rain, chickens and songs


This week, it rained. Quite a bit. All of Monday and Tuesday we spent seeding and potting on (moving seedlings into bigger pots) in the greenhouse. This is awesome because sometimes we listen to CD's, and when we forget to bring the CD player, we figure out what songs everyone knows. and then we argue about the lyrics. One of the main discussions this week was on the lyrics to the song "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something. The correct lyrics in question are below:
"And I said "what about breakfast at tiffany's?" she said "I think I remember the film. And, as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it." and I said "well, that's the one thing we've got".

below are the renditions of some of the crew:
Me "...Oh I recall, my place, we both kinda liked it" (although, this whole discussion started when I admitted that years ago i used to hear it as "Oh, I recall, my place, we both sat on high chairs"

Don "Oh I recall, I think, we both kinda hated it."

There's lots of time where we're far from computers, which makes for good "wonderings". Wednesday was really strange weather, where it wasn't that cold but it was snowing off and on all day! This brought on the discussion of whether you could get a rainbow when it snows and is sunny at the same time. I'm not sure it exists, but if so, I think it's a "snowbow".

I got to move the oldest 4 chickens back and forth
between their two chicken tractors, because it was super cold (got down to 25 on wednesday night - Don won that bet). You can see the chicken tractors below. soon, we'll put the 96 younger chickens in them too and start to move them around the pasture. It gives them a spot to lay their eggs so we can find the eggs easily, and then by moving them around, we fertilize the soil.
