Day 969 and Hot Chicks
I know it’s a little bit odd to be getting chickens in August, but as of today our homestead is now home to eight egg laying hens. Some of our friends are moving and needed a local home for their laying hens. Another one of our friends was giving up their old chicken coop so […]
Day 968 and Precautionary
Do you recall learning Hippocratic Oath at some point in your schooling? First do no harm That turns out to not even be in the original oath but one of the many varied additions over the ages.
