Matthew saw a rat last night starring at him from the wall cavity outside the house, and came back looking shocked and disgusted. Anyways, went to Sarah's housewarming and when we came home, some four hours later, the blasted little beast was still there! Looking as bold as brass. The joys of living on a farm are endless. Anyway enough of rats. We have been busy today preparing the hen house. Hubby has fenced a small portion of the garden off and we are clearing out the old hen house in preparation of four birds. The kids seem excited but they will have to wait until Saturday before hubby can get to the market. Anyway, enough from me. Will get back with progress report re; hen house and hopefully the fox won't murder them this time!
