Next Week, New Coop!

If all goes as planned, by this time next week, our new coop will be mostly in place. Our girls have outgrown our original and much loved coop, so we're replacing it with a more traditional wooden structure. The plan is to start on Tuesday. I promise to share pictures, probably way too many of them, with you as the work progresses.

Meantime, Bella and Pepper, in the video above, remain thoroughly committed to sharing all of the chicken treats on the table with each other, and then snarfing up the crumbs. There’s a “can’t we all just get along” joke in there somewhere. Watching a big, scary (if you din’t know her) German Shepherd defer to a tiny little chicken is endlessly funny to me. Pepper is only small in size—she has a big personality.

1/ Pence has always been the essential witness when it comes to establishing whether or not Trump's involvement in the pressure campaign for the VP to interfere with the election result was criminal. Smith has to get his testimony before he can make a prosecutive decision.

We’ll discuss the Pence subpoena and the first day of House “weaponization” committee hearings in the next few days. It looks like things are heating up. But for tonight, enjoy the chickens.

We’re in this together,
