Not a Cow

There are many reasons I’m glad I’m not a cow.  For example, I have no fear of ever being eaten.  I didn’t have to give birth outdoors.  Flies don’t have a tendency to gather on my body where I can’t reach them.  Actually flies don’t have a tendency to gather anywhere on my body.  Getting…

Meet the Flock-Part Two

I have always loved chickens. Even as a child I can remember toting them about, loving on them, naming them and kissing them. While I still tote them, love them and kiss them I refrain from naming them. But that is another story. Today I’d like to introduce you to the girls. The main girls.…

Head Chicken

I am an avid fisher, nothing is better on a balmy afternoon than floating along the river near our home admiring the Spanish moss, giant oak trees and listening for the splash of a turtle rolling off a log….  Unfortunately for me I am ONLY good at fishing.  I rarely catch anything.  I have tried…

Wicked Chickens Lay Deviled Eggs…….

So wicked chickens don’t REALLY lay deviled eggs, rather their wrath personifies itself in the form of spurring, wild running, aggressive pecking, 4:00 a.m. crowing sessions….among other things.  But my blog is not just about those moments of fowl folly.  It is about life in the country, life as a homeschooler, life as a baker, life…
