Unpleasantries of Laying Hens: Death

Tags

,

Unpleasantry is putting it nicely.  I must say that the pleasantries outweigh the unpleasantries but there is one unpleasantry that is not something that I wanted to deal with, but was forced to this morning.  I started out with 4 laying hens.  And as they became familiar with their new home they started roosting in the lower branches of the trees Continue reading

Leave it Open

I normally don’t blog about this kind of thing, but for me reading the Bible is part of having a healthy lifestyle.  I normally focus on exercise and healthy eating (which I have been terrible at lately – especially since I have been back in school full time), but this is something that

Dentists Want Your Kids Candy

After I told my sister about Chia (a blog is coming all about it soon) she found a recipe for jam in one of her fitness mags she reads.  I don’t think it was the actual “Fitness” mag that she got it from.  After reading them for a while they are pretty much the same – they start to blend together.  Anyway, we made the jam together.  After making it and tasting it we both decided we would never have to make the traditional jam again!
