OMG! I have Fuzzy Butt Fever! I knew it was something when I started to talk about my Delightful Dozen and others said, "Wow, we have talked about getting chickens too. Can we buy eggs when you get them?"
I know I caught the fever from the person who I buy my eggs from. Suddenly, thoughts like.."I could do that." and "Something that eats table scraps and gives me eggs?" started to invade my thoughts.
Now we regularly talk about the Delightful Dozen's Day and keep track of their daily doings. But I can see the evenings this summer where we have the firepit going, a good novel in hand, adult beverages at the ready and the Delightful Dozen milling about. Just listening to the getting ready for bed sounds they make are addicting!
