Gettin' it done

 

It took eleven strong lifters (good friends all) to get this heavy chicken house hoisted up on a borrowed flat bed truck yesterday. Then the hens made the six mile trip over to the new farm in the back of Tom's truck. 

Their next door farm neighbor helped get it situated on the property with his tractor. How kind and helpful people are-- just a tiny rural community on the edge of the wilderness. 

As of last night, the hens were settled and apparently none the worse for wear. I don't know about the humans! This last moving crunch has been really tough on everyone.

But look at that perfect fall weather-- a real blessing how the snow is still holding off this month. Which probably means the first blizzard when we go over for Thanksgiving.
