I tried to fix various things on the fence today, punted the problems, and later did more staining.
Two more eggs from the chickens! We are up to twenty. Rock still is not laying.

I went up to Portage Bay Grange to get some diatomaceous earth to help keep the bugs and mites down in the henhouse. I also picked up a bale of hay. They also started carrying Scratch and Peck feed, which is good.

After I picked up the Kai, we met Amanda at the Columbia City Farmer’s Market. As usual, the Kai demanded “Bubble Gum Ice Cream”. We picked up a few things and relaxed in the Park with LK’s former classmate August and family whom we met walking about. August likes Bubble Gum Ice Cream as well.

SK left for home this morning (she arrived last Friday); she dropped by early to say goodbye. It was good to see her. We perhaps had perhaps a low-key family visit:

• lunch at Ivar’s!
• pizza with AC/MC family
• family medicine picnic at Gasworks Park

and undoubtedly other things I am forgetting at the moment.
