Stealing AJ's Thunder

Porter has named all the hens and loves to throw scratch into the coop.

For the last couple of months AJ has been working on a chicken coop and hen house for his 5 beautiful hens. Al has helped on and off but because of terrible spring weather, the project took much longer than expected. Finally, finally the feathered ladies have a cozy and safe place to live and lay their organic eggs. When it's time to say goodbye to the chickens, Maggie & Porter will have a fun little playhouse. Way to go AJ!

A Mini Vacation

If you're looking for a close to home get-away, check out the Allison Inn in Newberg. It's snuggled into a vineyard and although you are really close to town, you feel like you're out in the country. We spent our first day lounging in the luxurious spa. A great massage, healthy snacks, cozy couches and chairs and a good book made for a reeeelaxing day. My intention on day 2 was to explore the outside of the Inn but the wonderful window seat called. A little room service, same good book and no deadlines or responsibilities kept me in my jammies till noon. It was wonderful! After check out, we hopped in the car and were home in 40 minutes. I highly recommend the Allison Inn for a fun little "retreat".
