Lately

I've been slacking off on the blog intentionally. It's not that I don't have the time, I do. It's that I feel self conscience for even having one (a blog) the name is ridiculous and it seems like if you are on face book you can share pics with friends and fam easily. Regardless I update tonight because I have hopelessly let coworkers be friends and I just don't know if I can let them into the life on Harvard, the farmstead is buzzing along and it only feels right to share with the fam.

So here are some updated pictures of the chickens. My first batch are now Poulettes, it seems french for teenage chicken. There seems to be two little roosters with terrible sense of time and crowing abilities. Seth thought someone was hurt about 5:30 am the other day, it was just Tonto. Now Fluffy is in on the game crowing terribly (sounds like he is choking on something) too. And because Seth and I are simps we now have another family of chickens, a beautiful crazy mother hen named Courtney Love and her 8 delinquent chicks. The chicks are very young, maybe a few weeks and when we put them in the cage with Mo Town and crew there was a giant fight, many fights I eventually tried to break up with a hose than Seth stepped in with gloves! We now have two chicken coops and one giant unfinished fence to house the chaos in. I have put some pics up.

Besides fowl farming we went blueberry picking with Scott and Ash and have 4 gallons in the freezer now.

I include a picture of a salmon or sleeper shark we found on the beach in Haines, I took a trip with Rose and Ashley to see Pat and Caroline, very beautiful.

Also included is a few pics of M & G's trip here and my birthday dinner at the Saltry, so lovely in the sun. We stayed one night in Halibut Cove than roughed it one night at Bear Cove. Also took a day trip to Whittier and saw whales, glaciers, ice bergs and caught lovely shrimps with Melissa. Overall a memoral summer.

ANCHORAGE HAD 31 DAYS OF RAIN! When I hear mention of heat complaints it comes to mind that Anchorage isn't very ideal for summer activities like swimming or laying in the sun, it was 50 something for a month!!!! O.K, enough of that, it was sunny all weekend and of course it has been lovely sun since the first day of school last Wednesday.

Hope your last month has been exciting in a good way too.

RIP Harley.
