Waiting….
I'm sitting in the surgeon's office writing this. There's nothing like the antiseptic smell of the waiting room, is there? Ugh. I had to take a day off of teaching to be here on time for the MRI and then the actual appointment. I'd rather be at home, curled up on the couch under my … Continue reading Waiting….

Free range experiment
My hens had to be locked up in June due to the local raccoons deciding my area was their personal all-they-could-eat buffet. Egg production dropped significantly. I was barely getting an egg every third day from 20 hens. I hate having them locked up. They hate it, too, and they pace the run like prisoners … Continue reading Free range experiment
