the chickens are huge now. i wonder how much bigger they will get? they're 14 weeks old now. and pullets/hens can start laying at around 15 weeks, but may take as long as 22. i hope to get fresh eggs soon! i'm all ready for them to be in the egg laying stage. i've bought their oyster shell (for calcium), i bought a bag of grit which i started scattering instead of pecking at sand, i have the beginning stages of a nest box ready for when they start to lay. bring on the eggs!
so this weekend i spent time in illinois visiting college friends both named K. sweet to visit with them both. and i went to my first drag racing event. an all day event on saturday in byron, IL. it was much more enjoyable than i expected (considering i'm not a car person). it was fast paced because there were races every 60 seconds or so, and there were a bunch of cars, trucks and motorcycles, along with vehicles that i do not have a vocabulary to describe. they were fun to watch fly down the track. I got to meet most of K's family, and I got a great tan too. :o)
this morning i attended the rez, which was cool. i really need to find a community of faith and worship to belong to in madison.
last weekend we washed and then re-stained our back deck. this was a huge feat, because we have a monstrous deck! it too two days with three people working on it and now it's finally done and hopefully will repel water for at least another year. and best of all we used an old gallon of deck stain in the garage so we didn't have to buy that expensive stuff.
in other boring house news (hey, we're homeowners, that's still crazy to realize) we got a new stove/oven tonight. this totally rocks. when we bought our house it came with new appliances, all except the stove. the stove we currently have doesn't work properly and is not reliable. luckily our next door neighbors are remodeling their entire kitchen and sold their basically brand new stove to us for a very very good price (it's only 1 year old). maybe this upgrade with entice me into actually making healthy meals from scratch more often.
