A little Photo update

We added a new light to the entryway.  Which I didn't think at first would like....but now that hubby has installed it I do love how the light is casting.

Doesn't it give the entryway a cozy glow?
Hubby has been busy after work building our 5th bedroom. Here is hubby teaching one of the boys how to measure and cut.

Floor is being built. Not bad for once being the garage!!

I love seeing progress being made:)

I will post more pics as the room is being worked on

Poor chickens

I'm saddened to say our little flock of chickens are slowly dwindling down. We now have 3 girls left. The "runt" of the girls got trampled.
The other 3 girls seem to be doing good. I just wish they would start laying eggs!! They are not impressed being shut in their coop at night but the last 2 nights we have had a frost and I definitely do not want them getting too cold.
We are going to move their coop closer to the house for winter so I do not have as far to walk to feed them.
I believe next year we are going to make a barn out of pallets. We were going to make a chicken coop ouy of them but could not find any pallets. Of course now that we bought a little coop we have found quite a few pallets.
This weekend we begin building the 5th bedroom. I will be happy when that is finished and we are able to paint the entryway. Hopefully in the spring we will finish putting siding where the addition is.
I certainly do lover our home. Eventually we will out a covered porch on the back side of the house.  We want steps down to a patio where we would like an outdoor kitchen covered by a pergola.
Time for me to bring our son and daughter to school. Have a great day!!

Fall Decorating

Today I put up our Halloween Decorations. I have not taken any pictures of it yet but will soon.
I am going to post a pic of our front door decorated with Corn stalks from our garden.

The wind keeps blowing them but I do love having them add a little touch of country. 

We are getting ready to build our 5th bedroom and to build our mudroom/entryway. We will have hooks for shoes and coats but also we will be building 5 "lockers" for the kids to put their school shoes, backpacks, sports items, etc on them. I will try to find the pic of what idea from pinterest we are using. 

*****All photo credit are attributed to the original pines on pinterest *****

Here is the basic plan:

So where the shoes are on the bottom we will be making 2 shelves. One open for shoes and one shelf containing a basket.

On the top of the original picture instead of cupboard doors. I have convinced Huby to put shutters like these instead:

A pretty neat combined idea!! I will be sure to post finished pictures whenever we finish that. Our first priority will be to get the bedroom done.

The boys need me so I will close for this evening.

(My girls still have not laid any eggs yet)

Supermoon Lunar Eclipse

Here are some pics from Maine taken last night.

It was nice watching it with my family and "virtually" watching it with family and friends.

100th Post

I can't believe this is my 100th post!!! So for this post I am going to share something very exciting to us. Our pumpkins finally grew!!!

Finally

Bought the girls a coop they will be toast warm in throughout the winter. They did not seem impressed but I'm pretty happy!!

Sad News

Today I had to say goodbye to one of my ladies, Houdini. She was acting really strange a couple of days ago. She had an impacted crop. Even though I gave her a warm bath, massaged the crop and gave her some olive oil she just didn't make it. She was the one that would let you pick her up. She always flew up if you were standing above the run. She would be the first one out the door when it was opened.
Sad part of livestock.
