Labouring on the long weekend

Work on the south side of the big barn is coming along nicely with  all the worst spots opened up.  The placing of the new boards was halted as the long weekend is designated as chicken 'processing' day.  I think I'll just share a couple of the pretty photos. ;^)

A nice rooster was saved to greet the morning and keep the new laying hens happy!  I do wish his tail was perkier but he is still quite young.

Josh is part of the assembly line in the barn this year.  Eliana isn't quite as keen so I keep the girls busy with preparing coffee breaks, meals, and clean up.  The table was set very pretty. 

It has been raining.  Because we do have that big barn to work in we finished in two days.  Weather permitting we can get back to working on the outside.  Looks like another busy week as the work schedule picks up and fall appoaches.
