0098

Another perfect day weather-wise, but mentally I'm out of it.

I have only vague ideas on how to go about moving the coop. I procrastinate, mixing & moving the compost pile, and checking the truck's points. Then I decide to try something. So I dig more around the coop's perimeter, then sort of wrap the base of the coop with large poles, snugged tight with wire. I put a log chain on this frame, and try pulling with the truck. First time, the engine stalls. Next time I give it more gas, and the wheels spin uselessly. The coop hasn't budged; I guess that old shed has grown roots or something.

I quit early, taking a walk in the south woods to familiarize myself more with the land back there.
