The Grass is Greener!

Typical weekend that it was, we spent Saturday sprucing up the garden, and mowing the acreage. I was only done with one small section when the Moose called me over to help him build a temporary fence for the Hooligans. It basically extended out from their current home giving them some additional grass and bugs to scratch and eat.

You see, like typical children they are never happy with what they have. They always want what's on the other side, and in this case it was the greener grass. So when the Moose opened up the door, the Buckeyes literally flew out the door! The Red Star's soon to follow. They had a blast, and were not happy when we decided to head out for lunch and had to herd them back in the run. As you can see by this photo, they are again looking out to see what they are missing.
We finally had some rain, about an 1-1/2", which was a blessing. Although the winds that came with it were an issue. It actually ripped off some covering on the tiki hut, that now needs to be repaired. We're still trying to figure out how to get up there. We're not convinced it will hold our weight.
