Chickens staying near the coop

The sky looked like this.

It was threatening to rain all day--heavy clouds and very windy. I worked at ALT for a couple hours, then went to lunch with Becky and Deb. It wasn't raining yet; we ate outside. More time at ALT in the afternoon, sat in on a conference call about some software to keep track of homes and homeowners. Picked up Ray before 4; went home and spent a little time outside with the chickens.

Funny story: my Dad called during the day to say he had stopped in at the house. He got an egg and stuck it in his pocket for safe-keeping. But apparently it wasn't very safe...made a mess in his pocket. He was just telling me for my records.

They stayed a little close to me since the weather was so wild. I put them up about 5:30 and went in, fed Cameron, and made some delicious supper. We had recorded the Oscars and only watched part of it the night before, so we watched the rest, skipping through the commercials. But it went on and on, I had trouble staying awake. And then, it turned out, the show ran over by 15 minutes, and the recording stopped. So, we didn't see the finale, even though I know the King's Speech won. Went to bed about 10.
