Amish builders came from out of state and built approximately 100 tiny homes to get people out of tents. However they're not being used as local officials are claiming they're not up to code and won't allow people to take shelter in them.

If an Amish-built tiny home isn't up to code, what even is?! Time for a code rewrite. What a lot of tomfoolishness, at others' expense, sadly.

Great roll call update after those molts! Really enjoyed that. Zacchaeus is very brave around lions!

What is being reported by those "on the ground" is an incredible inability of anything government related to assist in a meaningful way. One single wide trailer has been awarded by FEMA, they released a press notice so it's not a rumor.

Other charitable organizations are bringing in donated RVs to get people out of tents, bless them. And there's more bureaucratic boondoggle going on with the roads, but I will refrain as I am trying to not get political.


Suffice it to say that the NC government, for the most part, has bungled the response since the day Helene hit.



P.S. If anyone is thinking of donating to relief efforts, PM me. I can tell you which ones I believe will help people more than themselves. Not a solicitation.

Yes this is sad.

All I can say is FEMA=Biggest Ball Of Red Tape I ever dealt with. It was 25 years ago Sept 15-16.

Hubby and I were just discussing this. Looks like after all these years something would have changed for the better. Nope, nothing has changed.

I have cried and got mad over all I know many of our western neighbors are having to deal with. It's hard for me to see and I know it's hard for them to live. It seems the volunteers and the churches are the ones that get in there and make things happen.

It was exactly this way for us.
I pray soon everyone there has a real roof over their heads and daily life gets easier.

So far today I have found 3 eggs in the nest boxes!


Esther hopped up on a perch next to me, and I noticed she's grown a big girl comb!

I suspect that the eggs I'm suddenly getting are from the pullets.

Yay for Pullets eggs! You'll have eggs for winter

They all look good, I love seeing the videos
