Hi! We moved to central Florida 10 years ago from the Fabulous Florida Keys. We recently discovered chickens after visiting a local small farm, where hundreds of chickens free-range through their U-Pick fields and winery. We got the crazy idea to keep chickens for fresh eggs and diversion...
Heartfelt condolences to all her family and friends.

Your DBF said "Want to go?" and you said "NO!!??!!" First thing Monday morning I want you to call your doctor and get a complete physical. You're obviously suffering from exhaustion or some unexplained ailment. Girl, there's always something on sale!

Lyric,
Congratulations on your ebay purchase!! I've posted a couple times on this and another spinning/weaving thread on BYC, but love to lurk... I notice you're in central Fla. I'm in Arcadia, and don't know many spinners or weavers in this area. Who knows, maybe one day some of us...
