Starting The Outside Section Of The Coop....

Since it was such a nice warm day (69 degrees), the Beast got started on the *yard* section of the coop.  He put up the support that will be for the gate including the hinges.  That's in two sections so that he has something to attach the chicken wire to although I'm not sure how he will do that and produce a gate.  I'll get to see it once we put the posts in which we will do after he gets home from church tomorrow.  He borrowed the post hole digger from our friend and neighbor, Dennis, today and we will attempt to dig the holes and then cement the posts in.  After that, he will put up the chicken wire to enclose the area that the chickens will be allowed out in when the weather is good.  I have no idea how he plans to make the gate into the area for us but I will see.  I'll take pictures once it's done and post them.  I'm not sure how Baron will react to his not being able to interact with them but he also won't be able to chase them either.  Not sure if he would or not but better to be safe than sorry.

I sat outside on the deck for a bit today.  It really was a nice day out.  No wind, just a gentle breeze.  The little female cat came over to be petted and didn't mind being in my lap at all.  The little male came over and you can tell he WANTS to be as trusting as the female but he's still a bit too untrusting.  He did let me pet him once but then darted away.  I'll persist, however.  I'll do it at his pace.  Eventually, he will learn that I have no intention of hurting him.  

Other than that, my day was rather boring.  The Beast is talking about making his own shampoo from some recipe he found on the internet.  I didn't see anything like a soap among the ingredients he bought so I have no clue just what this will be like once he mixes them.  He bought two bottles for it so I think one must be to clean his hair and the other to condition it.  But the ingredients are strange.  He bought apple cider vinegar, baking soda and apple juice.  Any ideas, anyone?  I think he's losing it.

Time to post this so I will just remind you all that I love you.  Be happy.  Be good.  And remember to tell the ones you love that you do.  Thank you for your prayers for Bratfink's friend, Betty.  She's feeling much better and will be released from the hospital soon.  No clues yet on whether or not they will be replacing her *bionic* part to control her Parkinson's but when I find out, I will let everyone know.  Enjoy the good weather.  There is worse to hit us all around Tuesday of next week.  ***Hugs***
