Hen House - Phase Three
This is what the hedgerow looks like now! All cleaned out and free of barbed wire fencing ! But this is what it looked like before I got in there with my trusty pruning saw, strong arms and cable cutters:

Chicken House - Phase Two
Since my best friend started the hen house we had a foot or so of snow, but now we have clear skies and another bout of ambition! So here's the next phase. While Larry was hammering away, a hawk was screeching at him from the tippy top of a cedar tree right above the hen house!! He seemed to be screaming: "When will they get here? I'm starving!!" We'll have to seriously make provisions for anti-hawk attacks from above!
I have been working hard on the hedgerow, too, removing all the old barbed wire fencing, and the dead scrubby brush. It's beginning to look quite smart.

Down By The River
To walk leisurely down to the river. To breath deeply the sweet, pure air. To hear the shrill call of the hawk. To taste the glory of the deep woods. To see, to notice, the tiniest leaf pushing up through the moss. To sense the very presence of God. My heart is full!

Goodbye Mister Meow
Our hearts were so heavy this morning, as the moment came to bid Mister 'farewell'. And so, quietly, gently, he fell asleep in Hannah's arms and crossed over into the land of endless bliss: plenty of spats; unending supplies of catnip; no boundaries; no kitty litter needed there! He was laid to rest next to Caleb, with forget-me-nots planted on top of his grave, and a great view down the back hill to the river...He had used up all his 9 lives, and how!! Goodbye, dear Meow!
