    I love this! And that was a great deal you got - the perfect home for your new chicks. I'm looking forward to reading more as they grow and start laying some golden eggs! ;)

    We got chicks last year around now and I love them. I wish I could get more chicks this year, because they are so stinkin' cute... but I don't think we can. We have 8 chickens, two different breeds and they are back to laying 8 eggs a day. we really need closer to 10 a day but I've heard it's not good to add to your established group of chickens... chickens can be really mean to each other! During the winter I almost made them into stew because they stopped laying and just ate and ate and ate. I'm aware that I could have figured out some sort of light system to keep them laying but it all just seemed too complicated, ha ha! My kids love our chickens and they really love gathering the eggs. Chickens are WAY better then cows! ;) I'm excited for you guys! If you let them out a lot to free range then you don't end up spending as much on their food... plus there are lots of table scrapes you can feed them as well. My kids love finding bugs and worms and feeding them to the chickens, keeps them entertained for hours! Okay I'm done now... :)

Christmas Gifts

Jill is the slice of home baked pie you long for. Her dad was a farmer. His dad was a farmer. On a hot summer day Jill would call me up to go floating down the canal or ride the slick rocks with the stream into a barely thawed pool of water. She's also the girl I called one day when I was bored and offered to drive two hours and try out this new thing called "Bungee Jumping." We did although I can't remember why . The first year after my college graduation I found myself particularly low on pride.  First of all, I was a college graduate working as a sales clerk.  Too late I discovered that a bachelors degree in sociology is equal to a high school diploma and, in some cases, a G.E.D. and got you hired at JC Penney trying to upsale with a colorful scarf.  On top of it, I'd been dumped.  It wasn't that he was the love of my life.  In fact, it was quite the opposite.  He started planning the wedding aloud and I freaked out, pointing out that we'd only bee...

They Call Me Grace

I was nearly 8 years old when my baby sister was born. This was quite fortunate since I was well adept at reading. I was tired of my name. Nancy. So plain. The Sunday comics included a comic strip called Nancy. She hung out with her stupid little boyfriend named Russell, was very boring and cried all the time. Why would parents who love their child name her such a boring name? I assumed they had run out of originality by this point. I was, after all, their third child. There was Mike, then Suzy, after me they had Joey (short for Joanne) and finally Jene Marie. The "j" a soft French slur. It was fitting. We had a French surname. But clearly Jene Marie was their crowning glory. Do I hate for taking all the love from my parents and hogging it for herself? Of course not. She's my sister. She's my baby sister. But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...
