We've also been working endlessly on a new chicken coop. Hopefully we will have it done in the next couple of weeks.
A few weeks ago, we were sad to discover that Norman the tortoise had gotten out of his garden enclosure. After searching for him throughout the big fenced-in area and outside the perimeter, we assumed he was long gone. But alas, he returned today and I find it nothing short of a miracle.
Here's some pics from the past few weeks:

| We are thrilled to have him back. I'm going to pick up some fluorescent fingernail polish tomorrow to paint his shell so we can find him more easily if he decides to wander again. |
