The front of the outdoor kitchen is finished.  Rick's now working on the back.

We had a little surprise today.....Rick heard a large commotion in the chicken pen this afternoon and found this small egg in the center of the pen.  It looks like it came from one of the little bantam hens.  They are supposed to start laying at 5-7 months.  These gals won't even be 4 months old until about July 8th!  I guess we'll have to start working on nesting boxes.

I actually posted these last night, but Blogger was down.  The outdoor kitchen work continues.  The furniture needs to be moved around a bit.

I had a couple of comments today about my lack of  recent posting, and it just so happens that Rick started on the outdoor kitchen and part of the furniture was delivered today.  The coffee table and hall table will be delivered tomorrow. 

We've been working on some landscaping in the front yard area.  This has been quite challenging in the brutally hot and windy weather we've had all month.  It hit 111° on Saturday and 112° Sunday (both with wind).  It's been 105°+ many times in the past few weeks including one day with about 108° and 50+ mph winds.  The 3 large red oaks in the front yard are surviving somehow.  I've been putting in some grass plugs and have really increased the effort over the past few days.  We need to have the grass going within the next few weeks if there is any hope of covering the large area of blowing dirt in front before winter. 

I'll try to post a few more pics tomorrow.
