The Sheriff got her place; hopefully you will get yours too!

If the forecast says snow level at 1000 ft. it often will snow in Redding.

I haven't caught up with Mary in so long... she's moving??? Her place is so beautiful?

There was a thread--they said to use play sand because it had less silica. Silica is bad for their feet?

I think the silica is bad for kid's lungs. I ordered just plain old, bulk sand for my run and have no dead chickens or respritory issues. Kid's live for more than 60+ years... chickens not so long, LOL.
