Anita and I decided to improve our gardening skills and grow more and better vegetables, so this Saturday we made a raised garden box and a (LINK) chicken tractor. Yes I said chicken tractor. A chicken tractor is a small portable chicken coop that you can use to house 4 or 5 hens and move around to fertilize the garden box and the rest of the yard. The tractor is the same size as the garden box, so the tractor can be set on the garden box. We sat the chicken tractor on our raised garden box to see how it fit. Looks ok to me, just don't put a level or a square on it. The chickens eat all the bugs and fertilize the ground. It's all done except putting on the chicken wire and going to get the chickens. We are going to get 4 or 5 hens and become chicken farmers and hopefully get fresh organic eggs. We are going to name our layers names like K.F.C, Lemon Chick Chick, Pepe's Pollo, Pot Pie, just to give them incentive to lay eggs. Let me tell you something, that 3 x 8 box sure took a lot of dirt. Enjoy the pictures, cause we sure had a good time working together most of the day. I sure love my wife and consider myself a very lucky man.
You are one crazy Papa! Good for you on the gardening...too bad for your neighbors with the chickens. haha Can hens become fryers if they become too much trouble?

INSPIRING STUFF
Marion G. Romney
"I counsel you, my beloved brothers and sisters and friends everywhere, to make reading the Book of Mormon a few minutes each day a lifelong practice. All of us need the uninterrupted association with the Spirit of the Lord. We need to take the Holy Spirit for our constant guide that we be not deceived. I am persuaded by my own experience and that of my loved ones, as well as by the statements of the Prophet Joseph Smith, that one can get and keep closer to the Lord by reading the Book of Mormon than by reading any other book. Don’t be content with what someone else tells you about what is in it. Drink deeply from the divine fountain itself. I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their parents. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity—the pure love of Christ—will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness."
