Weather it out

Yesterday, it rained. No, it didn't just rain, it poured: 4.5 inches came down yesterday. It's our first real storm of the season! The creek rose about a foot and the chickens ran around outside whenever the rain let up a little, but spent most of their time in the coop where it's dry.

I think I exaggerated when I said that rooster was 3 pounds. He perched on my hand last night, giving me the feathery eyeball the while, and I think he's really only one pound. He is a bird, after all.
