Hot date
I don't think it ever crossed our minds as high school sweethearts that a "hot date" in 25 years would mean going to Tractor Supply without the kids. Yes....we are those people. Erin and Shaun, you're not alone in this! LOL

Kickin’ it into high gear
My hens are ridiculously backwards with their egg laying. Most hens lay tons when it's warm (late spring through early fall). My girls lay eggs when it's super cold. It's like they think a snowpocalypse is going to force them to the brink of extinction, and they lay tons of eggs to propogate their species. … Continue reading Kickin’ it into high gear

It’s still alive!
I have no idea what kind of plant this is. Ten years ago when Ted bought a car, the salesman had the car delivered to our house. I've moved it from room to room. I've chopped it to almost dirt level when the cat kept eating its leaves. I've forgotten to water it for weeks … Continue reading It’s still alive!

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….

“Gimme attention!”
I was reading on my phone. Daisy decided I didn't need to do that anymore. She climbed up and settled on my chest and stomach.

Ask and ye shall receive
A high school classmate messaged me last weekend to ask if I wanted some canning jars. Of course, I said, "YES!!!" This is her idea of some. This pic already had four boxes missing when I snapped it. I love that I'm the first person my former classmates think of when they have jars, egg … Continue reading Ask and ye shall receive

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

Shotgun!
The front seat is HER seat... Puppers loves mornings because she loves car rides. We get Sahara to school and then drive around and feed Bessie, Beef, the Terrible Twosome, chickens, and the turkey. She especially loves extra long car rides. This morning she was thrilled because we had to go one town over to … Continue reading Shotgun!
