Jake loved the Apple Festival. He got to bring his best friend, and they rode rides. He watched the parade and ate a huge funnel cake by himself. He said he can't wait to go again next year!

Better chick door
Our chicken coop is separated into two sections. This is because we can quarantine new hens when we buy them until we are sure they aren't sick (when I remember and don't cost us $128 for a $15 rooster - more on that tomorrow!), and when we raise our little chicks, we can move them … Continue reading Better chick door

It's been a year since you died, Cooper. It feels so much longer. Jake … Continue reading It’s been a year, Cooper

Smartcar mileage
I had two gallon (80 miles) left when I parked my car last time. It was drained when I got in the next morning! 258.7 miles ÷ 8.31 gallons = 31.13mpg That made my mileage the worst ever!!! The thief drained my gas for the last time. I'm ordering a locking gas cap today!
