15 months


Well, we are enjoying the fall weather and colors,
and the chickens have finally started laying eggs!

I'm looking forward to warm fires in the fireplace this winter,
and I just saw eggnog at the store the other day which always
gets me excited. With all the eggs, maybe I can make my own...
Below are our recent shananigans.
