Mites - ugh!

We noticed the chickens were looking a bit picked on, so we "set free" two of our roosters. Well, the girls still looked a bit beat up, so out goes the last rooster. A couple of days ago, the poor girls still looked chewed up, even worse then before, so we started looking closer -- they have little black spots on them and they are itching and shaking their heads. Well, they have mites, yuck! So the big dusting project ensues! Jordan was in charge of herding one or two hens at a time into the hen house where Travis reaches down and grabs them by the legs and flips them over. Once they stop clucking and making a huge ruckus - I start dusting them over with mite dust. What a production. All of the hens were in quite an uproar by the time we were finished, we were afraid that a few of them weren't going to survive by they way they were acting. I hope it clears them up - how disgusting! They did all survive by the way!

Last Recital

After many years of taking piano lessons, Alex had his last one (hopefully not forever). Here is a picture of him at his instructor's home, performing for a few people. It was a sad day! I will miss hearing him play.

Ft. Rosecrans Cemetery

We went to the cemetery today to remove flags from the graves. What an amazing experience. We could see ships and submarines coming in and out in the bay. We helped pull and bundle up over 5,000 flags.
