Unheard of! But very gratifying. And they sounded like people working in an office, not just some operator fending off people. <br />Yes. It's awesome that Glen can spend time with his sister. And I am NOT hating my solitude. At all. <br />Maurice is just a pure charmer, isn't she? Haha!

There are so many threats to them though. Hawks especially, I think. And even though the cats don't pay any attention whatsoever to the grown chickens except to sometimes observe them, who knows what they'd do to a chick? Especially the ferals around here. Listen to me- I'm going to talk myself out of the root hog or die plan. <br />I would not be surprised if you get as many tomatoes as we do this year.

It always warms my heart when Gregg spends time with his sister or brother. They love each other very much, but life gets busy and too much time can slip past without them seeing each other. I know it would make my late mother in law so happy to know that her three kids still try to see each other when they can, and still enjoy each other's company.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-80263610093075891172022-04-19T13:26:55.621-04:002022-04-19T13:26:55.621-04:00Leave it to Steven (and you) to maybe save a whole...Leave it to Steven (and you) to maybe save a whole wetland!

So bravo for making that call! I hope it all works out for the best, whatever that is.
