-First off we are watching & tending to their chickens. I am definitely a suburb kinda girl because this is not coming naturally to me at all! I have learned that you can NOT talk to Chickens like you can talk to a cat or dog....they don't understand you AT ALL. Sooo starting day one i tried to actually "talk" like a chicken, i got the advice from Dory (When she speaks whale on finding Nemo). It has not been successful, imagine that. After looking dumb for a few days i've learned that you can just shew them and they will kinda go the direction you want them to. Its an interesting task because its like having Easter every morning and night...i go into the chickens pin and its like all of a sudden i am on an Easter egg hunt as i search for all of the eggs.Although, let me tell you its not as easy as plastic eggs. Some of the chickens like to just sit there all day...so therefore you have to stick your hand under them and grab the egg out....which is both scary and disgusting because the eggs are so warm. & Lastly let me just say...after tending to chickens you CANT wash you hands enough...in fact the only thing that makes you feel clean again is to take a shower!
- We were told to make sure and close the garage at night with the cat inside it so that Raccoons don't come in and eat the cat food.....of course we learned the hard way as we tend to always do and as i walked by the door leading to the garage i heard a big crash....i instantly realized we had not closed the garage door. Mitchell ran out there as he saw a raccoon run out of the garage. This sparked some anger in Mitchell...thus he waited in the garage for a good 45 minutes for the animal to come back so he could beat the crap out of it with a broom...lol. That's my boy!
- I also learned that 2 people do not ever need to live in a 7 bedroom home.....This house is just too big for the both of us. We haven't even been in any of the rooms except ours which makes them useless if we actually lived here. I now understand why older people move into smaller homes...less to clean...less places for monsters to hide and it is just simply realistic!
- The BEST part about being here was definitely yesterday. Mitchell and i got in a bit of an argument...but then as we made up it started pouring outside...so we ventured that way! It was super fun to walk up and down the country roads in the pouring rain and having the few cars that passed us wave to us even though they were probably so confused seeing a pregnant lady in a skirt and shirt & a boy in regular clothes casually walking on the road in the storm. But it was fun & gave Mitchell and i a new experience together.
I am sure there will be more to come!
