tomorrow I cross the ocean

Now the chickens live outside. When I came home from the first PNE workshop, a few Sundays ago, G & Z had finished the coop and the chickens had moved in.

I let them out each morning for an hour or so. It's a nice way to start the day. A little chicken meditation. They hear us coming and fly the coop as soon as the door opens. There's one Barred Rock that usually leaves last, cautiously strutting down the ramp. She's the first to return, too. They all fly a bit, and do a mid-air chest butt. The younger Araucana is the most aggressive. She looks like a little eagle.
I think she's a rooster.

My parents had a sweet good-bye barbecue for me last Sunday with the whole fam-damily. It was good to be together.
Today I realize how much I will miss being home. So I look forward to returning and am SO EXCITED about this adventure. Yikes!

I leave for Czech Republic tomorrow. So why am I still in my pajamas typing?
