Our Chickens are Growing Up

....

Our chickens just keep getting bigger. They've been spending their afternoons outside, in a portable pen. Robb was feeling well enough to go to the hardware store to buy some more supplies. He was sorting through the lumber when I called him. While he was talking to me, some opportunistic fellow swooped in and took all the wood that Robb had set aside for himself. 

I'm hosting (but not teaching) a workshop on natural dyeing this weekend.  Rebecca Burgess, the author of Harvesting Color will be showing fifteen local fiber artists how to work with locally-foraged dyes.  I'm very excited about this, but it does mean that I won't be working on the chickens' coop.  Again.
