By miracle, and nothing less. I don't even know. He is a bit of a conspiracy theorist/end-of-the-world type, so all this talk about food shortage and government control of the food supply got him thinking. Lots of his co-workers raise chickens for eggs and meat (that's where we get ours currently), so they put the pressure on, I suspect--and with no involvement from me!!!
So, after 3 years of me leaving Mother Earth News articles all over the place, buying books on keeping chickens, and having every single person he mentioned it to tell him how easy it is to do, he said to me one day, "Honey, I have good news, not so good news, and bad news." I said, "Give me the good news first." He said, "The good news is there is no bad news." So I said, "What's the not-so-good news?" and he said, "I'm building you a chicken coop." **This was not so good news for him because he does NOT like to work around the house or yard, hates to use tools, and generally prefers to nap the weekends away.** However, it was VERY good news for me, and despite enough cussing to earn him a star on the walk in Hell, he's very proud of his work. I've been bragging about him to all my friends and buttering him up, too. That, and I have almost-2-week-old chicks about to flit right out of their rubbermaid tub!!!
LOL amazing!
