"Girls Night Out"

This phrase "girls night out" for my partner Leigh conjures up images of freedom, no kids, good conversation, perhaps a glass of wine with friends, and otherwise an escape from the roles and responsibilities of daily family life.  This phrase for me today means freedom from the smells, sounds, and realities of having four chickens share  your living room with you.  Today is the first time in nearly four weeks that I suddenly feel less crowded in my home, because today is the chickens (the girls) first night outside in their new Chicken Ark.    

Big thanks goes to Lee and Tam that helped expedite the project as the smells and sounds just overcame our family and necessitated the rush to completion.

I have captured the joyous event in a quick video here.
