A (Not) Very Scary Story
Monday evening I went to shut all the animals safely in the coop, as I do every night. The chickens go into the coop themselves as soon as it gets twilight-ish so all I have to do is count that they are all inside… Continue Reading “A (Not) Very Scary Story”
New Ground
Yesterday I put up the fence posts for the chickens’ enlarged enclosure. Today I put up the fencing. I had never put up a fence before but, duh, I can hammer large staples into the wooden posts and twist wires to hold the fence… Continue Reading “New Ground”
Critter Encounters
It’s been so hot and humid for several days. When I try to work outside, I immediately feel like I’m melting. There are times I suspect that I might have some snowman DNA in me! I really do not know how people in hotter… Continue Reading “Critter Encounters”
The End of February
I’m surprised that I haven’t written since February 17th. Time went fast. The second half of February has gone better than the first half, although I do feel a bit worse for wear. I have mostly been busy crocheting. I have an order for… Continue Reading “The End of February”

A Dog, Two Cats, and A Flock of Turkeys
Today EJ called the new insurance agency to see if all our policies had been transferred, and to also find out how we were going to manage this first month of payment. I had talked to the agent at the downstate agency on Monday… Continue Reading “A Dog, Two Cats, and A Flock of Turkeys”
Turkeys, Deer, and Boats
Monday night JJ and I had a bit of a scare. JJ went looking for his beloved cat, Luke, and couldn’t find him so he asked me to help search. I reminded JJ that many times cats find odd little places to sleep and… Continue Reading “Turkeys, Deer, and Boats”
Turkeys and Other Stuff
We have decided to stay north again this weekend. The weekend before last–when we drove south in the middle of the night, right after EJ got out of work, so we could be at the old house to let in the guys installing the… Continue Reading “Turkeys and Other Stuff”
