I mean, we have had some problems, and yes, they do love the garden but we've pretty much got them fenced out now. The only fighting problems I've had have mostly involved roosters and we've gotten very quick to remedy THAT situation. I do like having a rooster because they keep watch and protect the flock but more than one can be real trouble and if we get a mean one, we'll dispatch him. That has happened a few times. Mostly I just love having the birds around. They are a constant source of amusement for me and also provide lots of eggs and also, fertilizer for the garden!

I am generally barefoot. But yes, I could get some for my walking shoes. Definitely. <br />I know that some survivors of abuse are horribly triggered by such things as the documentary but I seem to have a need to try and understand what happened to me and to so many others, to verify the damage done. Does that make sense? Watching this, I am about as inclined to blame Mia as Woody but I have a lot of thinking to do about that.
