You would think on my first day back from vacation I would talk about my wild adventures, and I will get to that, but first things first. Where is all my coffee and why the heck are there so many Amazon boxes filled with crickets and chicken sweaters? Apparently my ladies will work for crickets, and I get that, but I draw the line at sweaters. I blame a few of you out there for putting that idea in their heads. The new chicken coop my hubby is making is almost done, but it’s not too late to add a heater, so I am sending the sweaters back.
