Willy Wonka's Wonderous Seed Cleaning Machine

Hello,
We had a nice week of random activities. The first half of the week we wood-sealed some decks, the bridge, and the hen nest boxes. We started clearing some rocks from an area that had to be dug up a few months ago to fix the septic tank. We also moved the goats, sheep, chicks, and cows as usual. We also got most of our portable garden finished. They will be self-watering containers. They are made from 18 gallon Rubbermaid containers and have the water reservoir separated from the soil by the lid, which we modified. They are supposedly good for growing vegetables because since you don't have to water as much, you don't have to continuously fertilize the plants. We'll see how it works. We planted a bunch of seeds, but the kitty ended up using half the tray for a litter box. There were are couple other funny animal stories as well. So, on Friday, we were trying to get ready to go out to eat and listen to some music. We couldn't find Grant's pants anywhere. The apartment isn't that big. Finally, we decided that the most logical solution was that the puppies came in and took them somewhere. Then, today I found them by the compost pile when I was doing chores. They had taken them! Later, when moving the chickens (the ones in the portable 10'x10' pen), Saddie ended up in the pen. Grant lifts up the front to drag it, and the chickens run in and out of it as they look for the food we put in the grass. Well aparently, Saddie ran in, and when we were putting the water back in the pen, Grant noticed her in there. Silly animals.
We have pics and a movie of the Willy Wonka Seed Cleaning Machine
