Watch out for those bees!

So I came home from Japan and decided to do 2 bike races the week I got back. The first was a 40K TT which I got 4th and was really bumming out about. I really think I could have done a lot better, but oh well. The second was a crit. I started the race thinking I was not going to do very well and surprisingly did quite well from the start. I was able to stay with the front pack with cat 3 riders and a few other cat 4 riders. I felt really good until a damn bee flew into my glasses and on the way out stung me right above the eyebrow. I pulled myself out of the race because I knew I was allergic to bees and took a benadryl right away. I was fine until the next morning. My eye was swollen shut. Not fun. I hate trying to work on while on benadryl.

chicken coop



Yes, my husband let me build a chicken coop for my anniversary present! He might have a different story tho. Not all of the chickens are mine, most of them are my neighbors, I just happened to finish my coop first (thanks to the Folks) so they are all living here for the moment. The reason I have chickens is because my neighbor came across 9 FREE chicks and offered me a few. If you know me at all you know that I can't turn down FREE stuff. So the plan is for me to take 3 and the rest will be shuffled back across the street.

The exterior on the coop is not quite finished yet, I plan to put brown battens between the white boards to tie the side and front together. You can't see the roof in these photos but a good friend of mine who has a FREE problem similar to mine gave me some rustic metal siding to use for the roof! It looks sweet! I think my grandfather would be very proud of me!

Below are some more photos of the chicks, they all have names thanks to the neighbors daughter but I can't remember them.
