Laboring on Labor Day

Labor Day weekend gave us three full days to work.  We hung lots of siding and did some exterior trim work.  We lost one day to rain, but overall we were pretty productive.

Jackson got the farm stand up and running after school one day and he has had sales each day.  He has been selling eggs and lots of honey.  He even is perfecting his sign flipping.  You know those guys who stand on the sign of the road twirling their signs?  Well,  Jackson is getting good at twirling his honey sign!

We added a couple more chickens to our flock to keep up with the farm stand demand as well as add some more color to the flock. We got barred rock and orpingtons as poullets.  There were a couple of hen squabbles,  but mostly they are all getting along.

The photo is of our front door.  The step, stone and door all look so nice,  we can't wait until we have the siding on to complete the picture.  Notice we wasted no time in moving our cushy chairs to the porch.  It is an amazing spot to watch the storms and the occasional deer that wanders by.
