Lamont News - pslamont - 06-18-2008
I am just so darned excited...
I have two friends helping me with stuff around the ranch. After over a week of hard work and interruptions and rain and... and... and... all their hard work has paid off. I have a Hen House with two compartments. One is for the Rhode Island Reds and RIR roosters to breed and lay; the larger portion is for the egg laying for gathering ... wooo hoooo! They are so cool. Give me a few hours and I will post photos on the www.freewebs.com/punachat site.... The nests are absolutely inspired.
Not only did I get my first egg an hour after the nice nesting boxes were installed BUT there are no chickens on my lanai or in the garage. Well, okay, two roosing hens in the garage... but I think we can actually de-poop effectively! Life is good!
Now for stringing fence to get the sheep on the other side... away from my house! Then we can replant all the stuff they and the goats ate... man it never ends but I LOVE PUNA and wouldn't have it any other way.
By the way, the baby lambs are doing great and it looks like we have a mom about to drop another one or two in the next 48 hours... she is showing all the signs! Wow...
Baked fresh bread today, having lettuce from our garden with dinner.. is this the life? YEA!
Okay, it's just a rave about life here but you gotta do that sometimes.
Aloha, Pam

hey Pam, we gotta get up there SOON (BTW, I know what you can up the Power washer on, the GARAGE & DECK!)
I am finally exhaling this afternoon, after the second of 2 interviews this week.... down to 1 in 5 chance... now all there is, is to keep the fingers & toes crossed....
RE: Lamont News - pslamont - 06-18-2008
Carey,
1. Why not come up tomorrow afternoon? I am in Hilo in the AM but could even pick you up if you need me to.
2. We need to crawl under the house and find the hose for the power washer... god I hope it is here somewhere. Just got it fixed and no hose in sight!
3. What are you interviewing for?
Pam call me ~!~

Pam:
The hen house looks really really great. How fun to go in there and gather up the bounty. Congrats.
Hazen is coming here tomorrow to help me with some house repairs.
It's all good.
Aloha,
Andrew
PS You should see your Hapu'u ferns. They're doing awesome and I didn't lose a single one.

If all of the chickens are in the hen house, who will the sheepies play with?
Job interview... education....
will call now (or as soon as I find the phone....)
RE: Lamont News - pslamont - 06-18-2008
Andrew,
TOLD YA! Aren't those cool to plant?
Need more Hapu'u? We are going to have to remove some more soon.
Maybe it would be worth the trip up for that... and if you DO come for hapu'u don't forget to bring an egg carton....

Carey,
With the number of babies popping out, I would guess... EACH OTHER?????

Pam,
I really like your hen house. I plan to have a couple of hens when I am back on the island at the end of August. Been in Denver since May visiting my first grandbaby. She is six weeks old now and sooo cute.
I wonder if your friend will have time to build a small one for me. And how much would it be for labor and materials. Thanks.
Val
