Great moments

We had a great visit with Jana, Dave, Cody and Logan Funk today. Jana is our niece, and they stopped by here on their way back home from visiting the Polar Express railroad trip. They had a great time there, and we really enjoyed seeing them again. The boys are growing so fast!
They enjoyed playing with the dogs and watching the chickens. I let the chickens out just for them, and the boys helped chase them off the porch while we were visiting. Even though we live in town, the place looks more like a farm now, with the chicken hutch, dogs, etc.

Gina is here visiting as well, so she and Nic helped entertain the Funks today. We watched Hancock this afternoon, well, I watched bits and pieces while I cooked dinner. I'll have to watch the whole thing, it's a pretty good show.

Our yard is a wreck, we've had a construction crew here for a few weeks, working on the sofits and facia board under the roof. They've been cutting the old facia board off, and rebuilding the whole edge again, so there is all kinds of debris floating around the yard. Add that to the weeds, puppy toys, etc., and our yard is pretty ragged looking right now. I had a big pile of branches and stuff that had been raked up, ready to burn, but the chickens and dogs have scattered that around too. It's going to take some serious work to clean up just the front yard, and there's also the side and back yard too. Makes me tired just thinking about it. The work crew had to move all my plant pots away from the house so they could to the roof and patio in the back. I have lots of plants, large and small, and now they are stacked out in the gravel, off the patio. I had them all set up with drip systems, and the drippers are drooping around, with no plants to water. That means I have to water everything by hand. At least it isn't so hot, and I don't have to water every day right now, but it's sure a mess!
