Greetings from southern New Hampshire and thanks for starting the thread, RD!

We settled our claim with USAA for the coop fire and plans are ongoing for a bigger, better one!

We ordered a Sears Craftsman GT5000 garden tractor with gear drive. It came in on Tuesday and the wheel weights and chains are in and I will pick them up on the way home.

I ordered a Johnny Bucket and Plow combo for the tractor. Barb and I have been wanting a small, frontend loader for a while and this will be just the right size for us.

Our new ducklings are thriving. They arrived a week ago this past Wednesday and are four or five times their original size. Barb has been handling them and they like being cuddled.

The bucket on the garden tractor is going to make gardening and poulty raising so much easier.

It is suppoed to be in the forties this long, holiday weekend, so I am hoping for a lot of progress on the deck roof and garage.

Your coop, poultry, and projects are coming along fine. How is Jack? Is he out of HS yet? I’ve lost track of time.
