"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Chicken Update

The first week of March, I and 3 others will be ordering our hen chicks. We had to order a minimum of 25 for warmth in shipping. I will be rearing 10 of those 25. The delivery will be for some time in early April. We are all VERY excited!!!!

My 10 will include:


4 Red Stars


3 Silver Laced Wyandottes


3 Black Australorps






















What a beautiful flock of girls and dozens and dozens of brown eggs we will have, don't you think???? LOL

Great choices! I have had the later 2 chickens and they are great layers. There is just something about a bowl of eggs of various brown shades - they are beautiful.

My son the chicken fan would like to come and do a summer internship at your home this summer. He has a soft spot for chickens!

Those are very beautiful birds!
