This house is going to the chickens!


Sarah Katherine and I decided to do some landscaping a couple of weeks ago when we had that beautiful weather.  We opened all the windows to freshen up the house and we headed outside. It was a vicious cycle of us laying down the mulch and then the chickens scratching it all out into the yard.  By the time we finished putting down all of the mulch, it looked like a tornado had come through.  I have learned that nothing will stay in the same place when you have chickens, dogs and a little piglet running around the yard.

After a frustrating morning of spreading mulch, we came inside for a snack and some milk.  I handed Sarah Katherine some milk and crackers for her to take in the playroom to watch cartoons while I washed eggs.  She came running back into the kitchen and said, "There's is a chicken in my chair! It's eating my crackers! Get it out mommy".  I thought that she was playing because she is a 2 year old that has a WILD imagination.  As I walk into the playroom, this is what I see:


Sarah Katherine's imagination wasn't running wild but the chicken was inside my house!

Sarah Katherine had lost the fight and abandoned all snacks!

Shortly after me screaming at the chicken, she went right back outside the window that she came in through.  I guess that I will have to put the screen back on that window!  There is never a dull moment here on the farm!
