Chicken Coop fixed
My poor chickens! We moved the chicks into the big hen house, hoping that having a rooster would help the ‘pick off’ rate. (We think the Redtail hawks were getting the hens. They have a new family.) And then a very persistent brazen racoon found several new ways into the coop. Arrgh!! So we lost … Continue reading
Not a Polly Anna time
Paying attention to the hunger scale is not happening. I do periodically remember that I want to “do that.” How am I going to get going again? My current choices have brought and kept me here for a long time. I surely don’t want to be where I am 2+ years from now. Weight wise at least. … Continue reading
101 goals
It’s been a while since I have posted. (How many blogs, I wonder, have begun with this sentence!) I lost focus for a while. The lose weight goal has gone by the side, checking my list has been forgotten, the barn quilts are still in the living room waiting to be sealed. But life has been … Continue reading
Mostly chickens
Some volunteer irises in the piles beside the barn The chicks continue to grow. They are a bit bored in their little coop, and I don’t yet want them running free all day. I let them out in the late afternoons and they run around, play fight, and fly all over. They’re funny! … Continue reading

Updates
Some updates on the 101 goals in 1001 days: This is still proving to be a great tool! Getting things finished that have been on the Someday List is so rewarding. Today we fixed some of the major floor squeaks. These were in the floor when we moved in. Eight years ago. That Someday List! … Continue reading
Chickens
The chickens live in their coop overnight, and then I let them out each morning around 10:00. The idea is to let the hens lay in the nest boxes and not somewhere out in the yard. And most of them do. But one morning, as I was collecting the eggs, I heard heavy footsteps running by. … Continue reading
May Day, May Day!
In the last post I intimated that I was having a bit of a hard time choosing to pay attention to what I ate the week before Easter. That’s true. This last week I was all for getting back on track and paying attention to the hunger scale and journaling my meals. Which I did … Continue reading
