Caretaker, Colors

Last night the woman and her son that we hoped could be our chicken caretakers stopped by.  They live less than 5 miles away so that is a nice plus.  It took very little time to figure out that they were good people that were worthy of trust.  We gave them an introduction and tour of the grounds.  They both were impressed with our backyard and specifically the chicken accommodations.  You could tell Alex found the chickens interesting.  He even held a couple of them.  It seems like they are on board with being our animal support team for two weeks although there are some details to work out, for example we didn’t even talk about money.  I have a figure in my head as to what I am willing to pay, hopefully it jives with what they feel it is worth.  Cindy will be the primary liaison in getting those details handled.

My second shipment of Hue bulbs arrived yesterday as well as of the LED strip lights designed to mounted up under a cabinet or ledge.  When the Hue system is tied to the Echo and the incredible power of IFTTT you open up a Pandora’s box of possibilities.  I am just starting to scratch the surface of what I can do.
