Our four new family members....:)

So, Dean and I have adopted four Rhode Island Reds....aka chickens!! We are havin so much fun playing little house on the praire! Dean decided one day that we should get some chickens I thought 'um ok but where are we gonna put them?' So dean one day had a brillant idea to fix a little part of our barn and hooked up some wire to keep the critters out and then Dean's mom found someone where we could get chickens from and we brought them to our country home. So now we are the proud owners of Martha, Ruth, Nellie, and Ester!! In the pics we are cradling Martha (she is the most outgoing one). I've never been around chickens before so i'm kind of uncordinated at holding them but I've been practicing and Im getting better.

On saturday Dean was fixing our dryer so he needed some nylons and as he was about to go downstairs to the laundry room he asked me if i had ever put them on my head i hadnt so we tried it and I think that is the funniest thing ever!! The things we do to entertain us!!! (I never knew how much eyebrow hair i had until doing this, and Dean looks like something from Narnia:)) And the other pic is of our well growing garden. It is a lot of work!! but I can't wait until we have some veggies blooming!! Well, that's the latest news from the Hansens....until our next adventure...
