Hens Get New Digs Many thanks to all who helped find a couple
of retired hens for the chicken gazebo on the second tier of the mini-golf. Lisa
Randleman suggested her neighbor and it all worked out! Dawn
Wolstencroft and her daughter Lindsey Takacs had a couple of 4-H Rhode
Island Reds that are now happily relocated--we're calling them Click and
Cluck, after two of our favorite radio
personalities. Dawn and Lindsey  | Click and Cluck, happily in their new digs (in fact the first thing one of them did was scratch the ground and grab a worm).  |

Sprucing Up the Mini-Golf
We've been busy little gnomes the past month, finishing the new sign, making new sunshades, plus planting and weeding, weeding, weeding. And there's that pesky 10th Hole, up and playable, but still not finished.
Our new entrance, songbird included.
 | We're on a Ukrainian kick, thanks to inspiration of Paul Sadowski and of Lisa Jessup. We made new sun shades from recycled billboard vinyl, incorporating the printing into our designs.  |
