Would I be entirely out of my mind to set up quail in September?  I've got a six by six fenced in enclosure that I can work on some way to weatherproof... I dunno.  Maybe it's dumb but I don't want to wait for next year.

Sandra, mom to 4 & wife to 1.  Life handed me lemons, so I'm doing my best to make lemonade.... planning to raise coturnix quail because that's all I have room for!

Keeping up with the "jonses" kinda thing....

"bob and linda went to blah blah and paid $50 a plate so we're gonna go to blah blah blah and spend $100 a plate"

meanwhile the chef is making a plate of food that wouldn't fill the average second grader's belly and pulling in big money for his talent!  not that i have anything against chefs, they're only doing what the public wants.....i suppose eating those tiny plates of food means spending less for lipo later lol

there's always a whirlwind of thoughts and ideas in my head.  if i drink enough it'll slow down enough for me to grab one or two, but then i forget by the next morning....
