If my adoption agency were to call me for any reason right now, I am likely to fall over with a damn heart attack. In light of THAT, let's just talk about January.
It's mostly awful. It's dark, it's cold, it is usually snowy. But this year, not so much. We had snow before Halloween and since then: nada. Fine by me. I like to be able to walk without the threat of busting my ass on the ice. But. I have been busting my ass trying to get those damn chickens to lay eggs. We went from a low of 2 eggs in late December and are back to about a dozen a day now. Boo. Yah! All this happened, I think, because I pampered their feathered bums, feeding them a box of pasta and organic apples all cut up here and there and put a heat lamp in their coop. We are back to a decent supply including blue and green eggs. thank. you.
So. Next week, I will be schlepping to Jersey. Why? Because it is January and it is heaven there for those who enjoy hit and run shopping, for those who do not like to browse. It's good for getting the twice-yearly stock up at Trader Joe's, Ikea, Crate and Barrell (I'm stretching it here, C & B is not a stock up store), and a long and leisurely stroll through Anthropologie (because I have a gift card there, after all).
It's happening. Need anything?
p.s. I watched the first episode of House of Lies on Showtime. Ho. Ly. Cow. Was it good. Don Cheadle, I see you in a whole new light.

I don't know why but I always imagine that you're better at waiting than I am. ??????
Glad your ladies are laying again. My girls are laying 5-7 per day. We have 11 hens and we're getting a few more chicks this spring (can't wait!)
Blue eggs and Anthropologie gift card - it's enough to make a girl green.
Chickens eat pasta? Well, I'll be hornswagled.
chickens will eat almost anything. I never feed them chicken. or meat of any kind. the dog gets all meat and dairy. the birds get the veggies and grains. (but if given the chance, their competitive nature about stealing away to eat everything would probably lead them to eat almost anything).
So yeah, chickens eat almost anything but what color is their urine.
curious minds want to know.
I'm right there with you; I would be floored if they were to call now. It's barely on my radar right now (okay, that's a lie, but it's just way down on the radar if that makes any sense). Have fun with your stocking up shopping - sounds like a good distraction.
