A toe in the water...

Well, this morning will be my first real venture to test the waters of blogging life.  I've been searching and researching different ideas for our little area.  For now we are focusing on upgrading some shelters for our pets.  One day, hopefully soon, I will be able to paint the coop for the turkeys and ducks.  Unfortunately, we lost a turkey yesterday due to unknown reasons.  No, it wasn't related to the coop... RIP Patrick, you are already greatly missed.  A tough one to swallow following the devastation that was the "Massacre of 2012" a few weeks ago.  Something (we think a dog) managed to kill 16 of 19 chickens while I was doing the grocery shopping.  It is still a sensitive topic in our home.
