[Ag-eq] new chicks

[Jody Ianuzzi]

Hi Nella,

It is good to hear from you.  I'm glad you have new chickens.  If you pet
them every day they will probably let you handle them when they get older.
The chickens we got were older and only two of them let you pet them.

I am still waiting for the horses.  The driver has been unavailable until
yesterday but Tom had to take his mom to the dentist.  We are all ready.

We put in 13 replacement fence posts, added insulators to all and put in 700
feet of wire.  The charger is now working and then we fixed up the tie up
station so it is ready too.

We have been going over to see the horses every day since the stable is only
7 minutes away.  We have mucked out their stalls and brushed them.  They
recognize us and are happy to see us.  The daily trip is getting old so I
really hope the boys can come home soon.  Everyone in the neighborhood knows
we are getting them and they are ezxcited too.

I want to thank everyone on this list.  I have been apprehensive about
getting horses but knowing that other blind people can do it helps me with
my own confidence to know I can handle them too.  I'm sure everyone has that
nagging feeling now and then questioning yourself about doing new things.  

I will let you all know as soon as the horses arrive.

JODY
