Ahh … the blog post at last.  That means I am kind of done for the week.  It has been a long one.

I will start out with last Sunday and an ox in the mire situation.  The chickens for the Egg Ranch where not handling the 110 degree temperatures in the compound. It had been really hot to say the least. So my daughter brought them into the spare room for the duration (and btw they poop their weight every day). Man did it smell.  Meanwhile yours truly went to grandpas to get a patio cover that he bought a few years ago and never used. Instead he spent thirty five thousand dollars and built the patio cover that his swimming pool contractor (again yours truly) had said his pool needed.  I took it over to the Ranch and assembled it into a really neat Great Huntress proof aviary for the three surviving birds. There are plans for flock expansion next semester.

Her is the newly minted Crazy Chicken Lady, the cooler aviary, and of course my Grand Puppy the Great Huntress.

Started Sunday night and finished Monday and Tuesday in excruciating heat. But, DA DADA DAH I like it for the time being.  It is shady and has plenty of light.

So much for the $100 Challenge.  It has been a challenge and I am afraid that it success will be in the coming year vs the coming month. 

Now for something good for my soul.  This is the thing I liked this week from the various literature that I have read.

“It isn’t that I live without fear — it’s that I choose to live with my fears until they subside; I walk alongside them, embrace them and then harness them into a means of preparation and self-navigation… It’s this method of not allowing my life to be ruled by the question of “What if?” and choosing instead to get out there and feel the world around me that has consistently brought me pain as well as every next great chapter of my life.” – Nicole Donnelly

This is really a good statement about how one may approach life.
