    I am so very sorry about your beautiful Stanislaw! To lose him so suddenly has to be heartbreaking. My first (and only pleasant) rooster, Sir Henry the Loud, was fine one day, seemed lethargic the next and died before nightfall. I still miss his clear, robust crowing. I'm also sorry to hear...

    I hope you got answers about what respiratory ailment the chickens might have; I worry so much when my birds have issues. That IS an impressive bunch of boxes!! It's good to hear that some of West Virginia is more pleasant than my recollections of it. Many years ago, I had to drive through...

    What an impressive pile of boxes! Congratulations on getting everything sorted and packed up. What did you decide to do about the ink cartridges? Belated birthday wishes 🎂! Both the cake and the sundae look delicious. Today, my youngest chickens are one year old, and I gave them some special...

    Homeacres is AMAZING! I learned so much in just a few hours. We got to see everything -- the veg and fruit gardens, the greenhouse, the various compost methods. I'm not really sure that Charles remembered meeting me last year (although I pretty much gushed all over him like a teenager with a...

    It's taken me a while to get the fogginess out of my brain -- partially from jet lag and partially from the incredible heat -- to the point where I THINK I can make sense when I write. First off, thanks for your prayers at Mass. Although I am glad I made the trip to England, I have no desire...

    Sorry I haven't posted anything since my return from England. I haven't been feeling at all well -- probably a combination of jet lag, a bug I picked up during the trip and this almost-unbearable heat wave I came home to. I can't quite get back into my routine, and my brain is foggier than...

    Today is the day; I leave for England this afternoon. I hope my trip has as many highlights as yours. I LOVE the photo with the sunlight streaming through the round church window. I also hope your prayer does the trick for keeping my airsickness at bay. At my sister's suggestion, I got some...

    You see -- and photograph -- so many interesting sites on your travels. Thanks for sharing your amazing experiences. I had guests Tuesday and Wednesday who were helping me get a laundry list of projects done before I leave Monday for the homesteading and gardening tour in England. Now that...

    Always enjoy your photos! For a split second, before I read the caption, I was wondering if there were meerkats in LA :lau

    You packed a lot into that post! When will you know the results of the dispatcher trainee test? I used to collect cookbooks, although I've given most away since it's just me here now. Some vintage recipes are amazing and some clearly have no regard for modern takes on healthy eating -- with...

    As always, beautiful photos! Congratulations on keeping your head about you when your GPS stopped working and you had to figure out how to get back to your hotel with out it. Especially since you don't speak Italian. I would have been panicking, I think. I guess I never thought about the Swiss...

    I am on my way out to lock up chickens, ducks and geese for the night. But, I HAD to take time to read your post first!! What an amazing trip, and although there were some low spots (getting jostled by crowds, wandering lost in Rome), what a completely incredible life experience! I am so happy...

    A person doesn't have to be Catholic to appreciate the beauty of the places you visited, as well as their amazing history. And since it was a group of people of the Catholic faith, who were visiting sites that are meaningful to Catholics, I would expect nothing less in your posts! On trips to...

    Your trip sounds amazing, enough for a lifetime of memories! Such history and pageantry! While it's wonderful that you had the opportunity to see so much, it's deeply bittersweet because of the pope's death. As I've said before, I'm not Catholic but I always admired and respected Pope Francis...

    I had to Google "Triduum," as I was not familiar with the term, which, I believe, is unique to the Catholic church. I am not Catholic, but I am also mourning the loss of Pope Francis. I always admired and respected him as someone who cared about all people, the earth and its creatures. He was a...

    I just came across this in my morning reading and thought you might appreciate it. Although it's more about reading poetry, I think you can apply some of the tips to writing, too! A great poem can help you process feelings of sadness, anger, or fear, and it can also bring joy. However...

    I hope your rehomed girls are off to a good life elsewhere. I know you took great care of them. That's kind of weird about the guy wanting to buy your turkey. I have been grumbling about one of last summer's "pullets" growing up to be a cockerel and was pleasantly surprised this week when a...

    Sometimes, having nothing going on is good; we all need to rest and revive a bit. However, I learned at an early age never to say I was "bored." That was my parents' cue to find me some chore that I wouldn't enjoy; I think it was their way of encouraging me to be more creative with my own free...

    I don't know much about poetry, but I think your poem is an excellent reflection of your knowledge of and interest in military history and how you feel about duty and honor. All that sounds good to me! I smiled that you named your betta "Fish." For more than a decade, I had a cat named "Kitty...
