Slacks for Ella Funt

We spent the weekend housesitting for one of my coworkers at his place up in the Catskills. He and his wife have a converted barn with a few acres of land and they have chickens, geese, ducks, and dogs. Luckily, the farm chores were mostly making sure everyone got fed, but we did have to get up at sunrise to let the chickens out of their coop and feed them.
We spent the most time with the dogs, of course, since they followed us everywhere (which might have mostly entailed sitting next to our feet while we read). The chickens seemed pretty indifferent to us and the ducks didn’t come near us. The geese were real drama queens, squawking and honking at each other most of the time, when they weren’t pooping all over the place.
Besides for our chores and tromping around outside in the snow, we spent the rest of the time reading and watching season 4 of The Wire. I had fun cooking with the delicious fresh eggs and on their powerful commercial stove and oven. We didn’t look at internet or TV all weekend long, except to watch the Daytona 500 (Way to go Newman!).
