Meet Randy

Yes Randy the Rooster.
He might be a small (rooster) but we are certain he is big enough to get the job done.
Even if he ends up hen pecked.
Even if he seems a bit afraid of the girls.
Who wouldn't?
Poor Bantam.
I hope he's first in our line of defense against predators while we are at work.
God speed Randy!

Saturday Sandwich

And a surprise one at that! I turn 40 on Monday, and SP surprised me this morning with a getaway adventure weekend to Bar Harbor! I awoke to this, my mother arriving to care for the kids, and my truck packed including our bikes and kayaks! I will be kayaking to and island for the night on my birthday! Bring it 40 - I am ready!
