Freedom.
By definition it is – the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.
Freedom is powerful. It is a gift. A treasure.
The most significant, important gifts in life are always worth fighting for. And often, they come with a great price. They are not free. Somewhere along the way, someone paid dearly for the liberties we enjoy so freely today. But often, we forget. It’s easy to take them for granted. We enjoy freedom, but most of us alive today, have always had it. We may not even be fully aware of just how many men and women have paid dearly for the gifts we enjoy today. The price was paid through many long years.

Welcome! I love you avitar. Up close it looks a cat in a paper bag. But from a distance, it looks kinda like a horse.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Thomas Jefferson

Thanks everyone, for all the welcomes and for the great inspirations. I'm loving all the great Independence Day-inspired quotes!

NickyKnack, my avatar is my cat Jaz, playing in a shopping bag. I never noticed that it looks like a horse from a distance!

TwoCrows, I love the Dalai Lama too.

What a size difference! I found one similar the other day from an older hen of mine. Quail eggs are bigger!

I know right I was amazed when I found it. I just hope it doesn't mean someone is in trouble. My hens aren't spring chickens anymore. Well 4 are they were hatched this spring.

Quote: My hen that laid her tiny egg is 4 1/2 years old and I think she is nearing the end of her laying cycle. She has been laying lots of Lash eggs and yolks lately. Hopefully your girl is ok!!
