It's been a while...

So many things have happened since my last post. Fell out of good graces, found my way back. Babies growing up too fast, time marching on. My dad passed away in November. Started a business and closed it after two years. 

Now, I'm not letting any of this slow me down. Still, I'm learning and loving and I try really hard to be open and considerate of others even when they get on my nerves.  The Goddess knows my heart.

So, considering everything, I am happy and healthy. 

I have seven new chickens that I got from my friend Jodi.  They are hens that are the female counterpart to a fighting cock.  They are very skittish of us when we go to the coop. They fight amongst themselves routinely but don't seem to harm one another. They have given as many as five eggs in a day and I'm hoping that number will continue to rise.

I really missed having eggs since I gave away my last bunch of hens. They had almost completely stopped laying and I found them a good home.

I have been really concerned about the political rhetoric of the last year here in the states.  I am pulling for the Democrats.  The Republican Party had its chance to evolve and instead has spun out of control.  Is mold enough to remember when both sides of the isle worked together, but no more. 

I understand people who just shut down and don't want anything to do with the political system, but that's how democracy dies. I want a better future for my children and grandchildren, and myself and my husband in retirement.

So, I leave you with this. 

Pay attention. 

Vote.
