Like Sex Ed, or Drivers Ed, "Meat Ed" would be another class assumed necessary for the well rounded student. Oh let's imagine the proposal for real. So, each kid standing would have opportunity to explain themselves and persuade why THEY should be allowed to remain. This would be f...

http://littlecricketchronicles.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 22, 2012. STATE and MAIN - the story. A breeder in North Carolina raised Langshans, and had a particularly regal roo named Saddleback. Desiring to share in the bounty of this wonderful Roo, two dozen eggs were sent to the PacNW from North Carolina. Some I incubated, some I put under broodies. Twenty two days later - well over a dozen fuzzy chicks emerged, among them, somewhere - a contender for the throne of "Flock Roo". I called an Exotic Bird Ve. T who agreed to see him (for cheep!

Down home at The Hennery. The Hennery is a small family farm located in the foothills of Western North Carolina. We welcome one and all. Monday, June 24, 2013. First Day of Summer 2013. The garden is looking good this year. It may look sparse, but that is to. Be blamed on the late start due. To chilly temperatures and all that rain. The tomatoes are there, below the supports. They are almost tall enough to begin tying them up. And, as you can see, I have a bumper crop of plantain. Be small, but edible!

And it rained quite a bit. Over about a week's time. I wasn't able to even think about the garden. I get disease enough without. You m...

And I figured I would give you. Something to look at while. I work on the new blog. I took a wee bit of bread. Out today and this is what happened. And they are soft and fuzzy. Except for their little feet. They are sharp and pointy. And that was only maybe. Half of the ducklings that. Crazy, ain't it? There were no bees.
