An un-knitterly post

I think it's about time for a post that doesn't pertain to knitting. The big news for the weekend: a family addition. Before you jump to conclusions (Scott had that procedure done, remember?), I want to clarify: we got 6 new chickens. After losing five of our flock, we decided it was time to replenish. We are now the proud owners of 6 year old Production Red hens. You might be curious about how we lost our chickens. Well, Tabby decided to play with them. And they don't make good dog toys. We persuaded her to change her opinion of chickens as playthings though, so the newbies should be safe. They are currently living in the guinea hen coop and will remain there until we can introduce them to the rest of the flock and help them socialize a bit.

Other news: Ky is sick. He's got the snotty nose, congested cough/cold thing that is going around. Meh. Otherwise, not a whole lot going on. I'm mostly hanging around the house today, cooking, knitting and taking care of those little projects that always get bumped for something bigger.

Hopefully something interesting happens soon that I can post about, but until then, I'll continue to try to make the daily hum-drum of our lives seem more interesting than they really are.
