Black Magic Woman (cover)
The guitar has been an extension of my being as soon as I started playing it, when I was a kid. Through the years, I crossed several love/hate periods with this instrument (mainly due to the fact I couldn’t live as a musician, as I wished!!), but I never really stopped playing it. So, my next video HAD to be a guitar video! I chose “Black Magic Woman”, a song written by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac but made famous by guitar legend Carlos Santana, because it remembers me of my “younger days”… when I would run home from school to play my electric guitar, feeling like a rock star anytime I’d hit those notes… Sorry I didn’t record a real “live” video, but my camera just wouldn’t want to work properly!! And I just don’t have the time (and will) to work back on this one!! So here it is… hope you enjoy it!

Chicken Coop – We just finished the coop and bought 10 hens!
I converted a lean-to (shack) into a chicken coop. The coop is approx 5′ x 9′. I have a book called “back to basics” that we got at a garage sale. It had some guide lines and measurements that I utilized. I used mainly old plywood and wood we had laying around so I didn’t have to buy much wood. The hens will be six months old in a couple of weeks, and that’s about the time they start laying eggs. We got 4 – Rhode Island Reds (brown eggs), 2 – Buff Orphingtons (brown eggs), and 4 – Americanas (blue or green eggs)

This is a nicely priced chicken coop i am thinking about, but i am not sure how many chickens i could put in it?
Sorry if it says on there and i just missed it. I just wanted to be sure of what i might be buying before i did, and i’d hate to end up with a coop too small to put more than say 2 chooks in, as they are very social animals!
Thanks!
