Sunny Days and Bees Are Here Again!
Sunny days are here again, except for well, today. It has literally rained for the last 24 hours straight and it is STILL raining. Boy it’s a great day for ducks! So, I got some ducks. Five ducklings to be exact. They are about a week and a half old and so darn cute! Was Read More
Counting down the days
I am counting down the days. To what you ask? To a couple of things: planting in the garden and the blooms of Spring flowers. Why these two things? Once we can plant in the garden, that means it’s closer to the time that we can eat from the garden and once there are Read More
Fa la la… And a Princess Chicken Leia
My chicken has an ear infection. MY CHICKEN HAS AN EAR INFECTION! People, you read that right. Twice. Why twice, well, because she has two ears. Can you believe it? Thankfully, it’s only one chicken, but it’s so gross that one is enough. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year! It’s that time of Read More

Back to Square One
If the seasons are cyclical and we all know they are, where exactly does the square come in, much less the first one? Aren’t cycles by definition round? It seems that going back to square one gets a bad rap a lot of the time. For instance, you always go back to square one, right? Read More
Deja Vu all over again
Hey everyone! It has been a crazy winter here and thankfully, according to the rodent, we are in for Spring sooner rather than later! Hurray! As I write this, I am looking outside to more of the white stuff along with freezing rain. As you know, I was over the cold weather weeks ago when Read More
That time in between
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a safe and fun time ringing in 2016. As I look back on the year, the one thing that comes to my mind is “where did all the time go?”. The days went by so fast that I can’t believe we are already in 2016. Not only Read More
