a coop raising family affair (and stump murals)

This blog post is part of 365 Days of Happiness 

Our coop is going up. With little and big hands working together, this new home for our chickens is actually taking shape. 


 


During the coop building this weekend the kids got the inspiration to paint, so I put them to work beautifying the garden. We had all the neighborhood gang of kids over painting stumps.


It was so nice having Aunt Pam over to hang out and enjoy the breezy afternoon with us watching the coop go up.





now for a little clear coat.....



I think the chickens are going to like the berry patch next to them.

There is nothing more beautiful to me then when artistic creativity meets nature.

Looks like all 3 of your kiddos enjoyed a day spent together putting up the coop! What a wonderful memory for them. (I love when art meets nature too!)
