avoiding a hernia

we drag the chicken coop to fresh grass every day. it is pretty hard to do, especially in places where we have really let the field grow. usually matt pushes while i pull. now that he will be at radiation during prime coop-moving time, we needed a system that would allow me to move the coop by myself. matt is still on orders not to lift anything heavier than a phonebook, lest he herniate himself, so he is absolved from any solo coop-dragging responsibilities. i thought maybe we could put wheels on the thing, but matt came up with even better idea of skis. he found a nice pair at the dump and i attached them to the coop this morning. it slides like butter.
