Beauty
It was a bright sunny day yesterday, which was beautiful. But of course it meant that we were in for a frost the next day. Sure enough, this morning has been frosty! It is so cold! But golly it is so beautiful. I drove Georgia to childcare and I am still in awe of the […]
Chicken Dinner
Recently we acquired some new birds: 2 roosters and 5 new hens. Monte built a chookhouse for the new hens and one of the roosters. But we still had one rooster too many! You might remember the story about the rooster who heard that he was going to be our dinner, and he ran away? […]
