John was worried that my last blog post would make people think he was an incompetent carpenter. He wanted me to clarify that he did put a post up for the baby gate but I asked him to take it down because it didn't look pretty enough. That is the truth. So in case you are still questioning his carpentry skills, take a look at the chicken house he built on Saturday. He really impressed me, as he always does! It's not quite finished but he did all this in just a few hours!
The kids have been taking care of the "chicks" for the most part, with some supervision from John. I went down there a few days ago to find out the "chicks" are chickens!!! Man these things grow fast! I hope we'll have eggs soon. We are learning this farming stuff as we go. Let's hope we didn't end up with all roosters! (Sorry Trisha, I had to give you a hard time :))

And look at this luna moth we found on the side of the barn last night. Luna moths do not have mouths, so they can't eat. They have a lifespan of only about a week, just long enough to mate and make baby luna moths.
Have I mentioned how much I love living in the country?

ya think then God made these moths just so we could see how creative He is? Interesting how they can't eat. Makes you wonder what else their purpose could be other than for God to show us something.
Cluck...cluck...You need to order some Banty hens On Line..these are the real HOMESCHOOLER Momma's for the little kids...ask your Nanny! If you're going to do chickens, go exotic, get the ones maybe that lay green eggs that have no chloresterol.
Great job John!
Wow, that husband of yours did a fabulous job w/ chicken coop.
I love the luna moth, I had no idea that they couldn't eat. Very interesting. Thanks for teaching me today.I can't wait until I am in the country, too.
message to dog: don't eat the chickens!!!
There never seems to be a dull moment in the Urban household ! =] I love & miss you guys.
Heather ! <3
Have I ever mentioned how jealous I am?...So FUN!!!
So weird that I just learned today that ALL giant Moths are lackig a mouth. All they do is mate and die....
