I've since learned that the term is an oxymoron.
There can be no such thing.
That is why we shall move to the country as soon as we are able.
No neighbors in the country who tell you to move the chicken coop you've just put money, time and lots of sweat into.
They are right. We will move it. Well, we can't move it. We'll have to build a new one.
Apparently there is a city ordinance saying coops need to be 25 feet away from anyone else's property. Why couldn't they have talked about it with us while we were working on the coop? It's not like we put it up over night. They did all this research before coming to us. Research is good, but so was the feeling of completing such a great project before summer.
I need to invest in
a saftey pin.
Every week I have 1 hour and 45 minutes to myself. Wednesday mornings Hazel's mom takes both my girls so I can clean the house, run errands, etc... Some days after I drop them off, I can't bring myself to face the kitchen or the grocery store. This morning I used my free time to make these:
I made them out of Hazel's mom's old shirt she was taking to Goodwill. Knits are not the easiest to work with, but it was a bit easier than the last pair of pants I made for Lydia:
These were made from a wool sweater I found at Goodwill a few months ago.
The saftey pin would have made putting the elastic in much easier. I ended up using a bobby pin to pull it through.
I can't wait to show Margo!

Urban Farm
It's finished!
We let the girls play inside before everything was covered in poop. What fun!
Rosie, our youngest cat, now spends most of her days lounging outside the coop.

The girls have been spending their days in the run. We've been bringing them in at night as it is still chilly and the coop is not quite ready for them.
Death to the slugs and snails! I found this one making its way up to our vegetable bed yesterday. I gave it to the chickens but they didn't know what to do. I think it was too big for them.
Sahara is ready to join me this summer on roller skating adventures. We'll be the dynamic duo, mama and daughter rolling down the street!
