A wicker what?!

Today we went to the 11th Good Earth Home, Garden & Living Show in Eugene. (Craig was with me so we walked thru it pretty quickly...not leisurely like I would if I was on my own.) There were a lot of vendors...many organic products, a lady with 2 alpacas (she had sheared wool and it was so soft), construction companies, a bed company, spice company...lots of vendors. Think sort of a hippie-type event. But I think the most unusual vendor was for wicker caskets and organic cotton shrouds. There were also some sort of urns, but I didn't see what they were made of. Craig and I were talking about it later and our thought was that using an organic casket and shroud made no sense since the casket goes into a cement box with a lid when it goes in the ground. These caskets can go all the way up to $1400 or higher...pretty much a waste of money. Don't you think this is odd? I sure do.

There was also a chicken booth. There were some babies and an adult hen and 2 roosters. Craig spoke with the woman there and we learned about a couple of different breeds that we should be considering. We got some good information.

We also stopped to talk with a man at a metal roof booth. Craig had questions about the metal roof on Fred...somehow some rain got in and he needed to find out how that could have happened. This guy also had lots of good info and we'll be calling him next week to have that roof looked at.

All of that in about an hour...my hubby moves fast. I'm getting excited to be getting our chicks in early Mar. I thought Craig was done with the coop, and then he started adding something to the front. He's putting a porch on it! It's going to be so cute...he knew I wanted it to be cute and he's making it happen! Now I'm really excited. This will be the start of our little farm.
