I recently moved out to the sticks with my husband and LOVE it! I never liked being cramped in the suburbs! There is so much room for my girls now and someday I plan to expand my animal entourage to include alpacas or llamas...Wow! That gorgeous egg makes me so happy I have CL girls. I can't wait!
Oh yeah, having taxes done this early really is a great weight off. This year hubby and I used a CPA just because it was our most difficult year for taxes yet. We bought a house, donated a car, bought a car, and have our little side business/hobby. We figured paying someone a little bit of money was worth it so we wouldn't screw ourselves up and we're getting a nice chunk of a refund. That means I get to buy another coop!
Also, I just came back from a friend of mines house today with three "rescue" hens. By rescue I mean they are on the smaller end and others have gotten swooped up by hawks. Also she has so many chickens they may have gone into soup pots even though they're still laying. One is a little white frizzle girl that goes broody, which is great so I won't need an incubator right away, which also means I won't be tempted to fill the egg turner. The other girls are mutts, both have some polish in them and one girl has some araucana as well and she lays blue eggs. It's such an interesting concept that I now have 4 girls that will lay blue eggs. Seriously, I was born from a long line of city people, 3rd generation to be born in Los Angeles, but I'm so much happier not so cramped and can't wait to have some acreage so I can have even more chickens, and some goats.
