Just more than a year ago, I reached out to a then-BYC member who had just lost her house rooster. I had no idea that we would text, email and call each other -- and my sister too -- regularly for the next 12 months. Turns out the three of us have many things in common.
On Friday, Serenity and her husband traveled from near Chicago to meet Carolyn and me and hang around in northern Iowa. She had a great time making friends with my rooster and may be the only human he hasn't attacked in his entire miserable life. I tried my best to get her to take Billy Boy; she was game, but her husband (wisely, I guess), said no.
We went to a home and farm show, "toured" all the sights of Fort Dodge, went shopping at Bomgaars (they don't have any where they live), went out to eat Saturday night, and her husband helped with two of my small construction projects.
We're already talking about their next trip this summer. They left this morning, and today, I am recovering from all the excitement and activity.
More good news: Caitlyn Clark and Iowa didn't win the NCAA women's tourney, but the sun still came out this morning (although I hear it's disappearing in some places!)
