There is always something happening when you have animals. I've already written part of my Saturday posting about this Monday morning's adventure!<br /><br />Wild Somerset Child, Tom keeps a weather journal and notes wildlife, birds, etc. He backs up my blog, so I'm hoping it will stay around. :<)<br /><br />Pamela, I love thinking of it!<br /><br />Book Psmith, thank you!<br /><br />Val, yes it is - tree mallow. I lost a lot of it, but there's still some growing by the kitchen door. It's a zone 4 plant and we are zone 3 and even 2 some places but by that east facing door it seems ok.<br /><br />Erin, thanks!<br /><br />Margot, I MUST read Wendell Berry. Where should I begin?<br /><br />Bookish NY, thanks. I've written off and on during the past three years, but nothing orderly so I'm hoping this idea works out.<br /><br />Lisa, the girls have made the blog occasionally. Their big moment was here:<br />http://lettersfromahillfarm.blogspot.com/2007/05/farm-lifepullets-er-prize.html<br /><br />We've had chickens since 1990, I think. We get them every few years as the older ones die. But these Dominiques are tough, and long-laying dears.<br /><br />Kay, thank you! and yes, they are sweet. They can be skittish, and the rams can be a little feisty even after neutering, but yes, their nature is sweet. I love them.<br /><br />Linda, thank you! There's always something going on around here. :<)<br /><br />Joanne, I'll be over to visit your new blog! If anyone is reading these comments, please go meet Joanne!!<br /><br />Diane, I laughed when I read your comment! <br /><br />Aisling, It just worked out this way, but it sure is perfect, I think. As I wrote to someone above, I've already noted a Monday morning adventure. :<)<br /><br />Staci, I appreciate your enthusiasm, as always.<br /><br />Linda, that's one of the things I love about reading blogs - I get to see many different views.<br /><br />Patricia, so good to hear from you! You ought to start a blog!<br /><br />Sherri, yes I do remember.
