The deck starts to take shape

The posts for the deck were put up on Friday. Jonathan had the fortune to help. (He also had the unfortune of a backache for the next few days.) Today the cross beams were started (see last photo.) It's estimated for the deck to be done in a week or so...

We've been told that our logs have been cut and arrived at the company. They are to be milled and dried and then cut in a few weeks.

We've separated the little does from the nannies and are looking for a buck (to buy or borrow) to led his services. Little bucks seem to be doing well. Chickens are continuing to thrive. We're looking for eggs in a few weeks and are stock piling cartons... hope the kids like eggs for breakfast (and maybe dinner, too!)
