Been awhile. You have any news? We do have news. But let me being by saying, I have no idea what day of “quarantine” it is, how long we’ve been in this situation, nor how long it will be until we get out of it; however, we are doing our best to get through it all one day at a time.

As promised, I’m going to update you on the construction projects. Trent sure got a whole lot done for us last week. He finished all the initial projects, and we’re hoping to have him back over time to help with the big stuff!  For now, though, his done.

Blessings to you on this day! Today, being Sunday, and after attending to “virtual” church services this morning, I thought I’d share how God is working in our lives and helping us to share those golden nuggets with people all over the place. (Not, chicken nuggets, I mean eggs!!!) One of my Face Book friends, from High School, posted this photo of eggs today – I thought it was rather apropos of the season. I don’t know if she made them or not, but I shared it to the Wing and a Prayer Facebook page, giving her photo credit. Thought it was cute enough to share here (thanks again Cheryl).

Olaf

As everywhere, our weeks are not normal. We continue to do our every day chores and work on projects around the house as best as we can. This last week was a difficult week – we had to put down several chickens, including our much loved rooster Olaf. You may remember that he was being picked on by the goose and several others.

The chickens are nonplussed; they say they work from home all the time with out any issues. So, what’s the big deal, they ask. Not a big deal really. I suppose. Continue reading →

Hello to you on this first day of Spring! After a day of pouring rain, yesterday, our day is definitely Spring like. If it were not for the persistent wind, we would have had perfect weather. Continue reading →

Ok. Here it is the very long awaited and much missed egg report. I have no excuse for not sharing the numbers, save for sheer laziness. So, I’ve created a little spreadsheet for you. Hope it fills in whatever you’ve felt was missing from your chicken news life. 🙂  As you can see, the goose has not been contributing to the numbers in some time – lazy goose.  Everyone else is doing the best they can. Average daily chicken egg total for this part of the month is 26.8; duck egg, 1.65. Not bad as we work our way toward Spring.

We don’t have Bob the Builder working for us, but we do have Trent! My friend’s nephew lives in Bisbee and was hoping to get some extra work. If it’s one thing we have it’s extra work. I just wanted to give you a quick update on the work going on. Continue reading →
