"Fast Bikes and Hen Houses"

Today I had the fastest ride yet post cancer, at any distance. I went just over 67 kms at an average speed of 32.7 kms/hr. I dont know what that means but it felt good! Granted it was a decent day with not too much humidity and my route didn't take me up or down too many hills. I'm just gonna enjoy it.

Part 2 of the day was even more gratifying as Colby and I set out to build a hen house to provide accommodations for the chickens that brother Terry is donating to the St Thomas Rooyakkers. We are attempting to use only used materials in order to save costs and to create a rustic look. Here's what we have so far. Colby is most excited about the rooster that's coming along as well! His parents maybe not as much so?



I know it doesn't look like much yet but we'll keep you updated.

I wish to dedicate day 313 to Mr Pete Hepburn, a guy who has more chickens than anybody and is also a good neighbour...at least when the wind blows in the right direction.

“Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral"---Frank Lloyd Wright
