So we have chickens, obviously. Well...to be more precise, my darling BF lovingly allows me to have chickens and puts up with my obsession. I have wanted chickens for approximately 10 years. I moved in with him in September. He has owned this house since 1986. Raised his children here. Has what is that, 26 years of accumulated....stuff, yes, stuff, that's the word I'm looking for. Up until a few weeks ago, his daughter and 5 grandchildren lived with us. In our diningroom, we have built in bookshelves. We were sitting in the dining room this evening, and I noticed something pink on one of the bookshelves, it turned out to be a cup from some kids snack (lord knows how long that was there). So I got a bug that I was going to start cleaning those shelves. So we pulled all the books off, and I handed them to him in stacks to decide if they were keep, trash, or ebay/freecycle. Low and behold we find "The Family Poultry Flock" (1984). I just sat on the floor laughing at him. Obviously, he'd thought about poultry long before I came along, I was just the impetus for him to actually get them!
