That is just a proof of life shot!
Look what I built today for the boys. It's 6' by 8', countersunk with a chicken-wire top and handles to lift the wire. I know it's not a professional job, but it works. They will still come in at night in their 4' x 4' with mister and heat, and they'll be in when I'm not home as well, but I'm kind of proud of what I made. I will be planting in that pen, and I will sink in a larger water dish for them as well. Any other suggestions? Oh, and they will have two hides built for inside as well. They are Red Foots - about a year and a half old.

I have some pictures to post in a few days, but for now is a surprise I recently found in Steve's garden. His calendula plant finally grew and flowered! I thought it had died. I grew the Burpee seeds in a separate terra cotta pot that was half-buried in the dirt. Steve tried the leaves and approved so I'll probably get seeds again next spring and grow more. Since it's starting to get colder (it hit freezing temps tonight) I pulled the flower and Steve chowed down on it. I'll find the pictures of him eating it later. This picture is from last Thursday:
