Pigs won. Chickens nil.

Clare opened the pop hole of the chicken house for the first time today. But the birds were too chicken to come out.

I dismantled, then re-mantled Ark One in the woods (which was very satisfying) and discovered that children good pig herders do not make. I fared no better. But we had a Clare on hand to coax the animals along the path to (almost) freedom.

I expect they'll be doing this...


...all night.
