Red chickens can be clueless, as I discovered tonight just as the sun was setting. I had to rescue three of them from the goat pasture. Now, to be fair, I have only started letting all the hens out of their hen pasture during the day recently (after they’ve laid their eggs every …

I am 98% finished with reconfiguring my office space. It feels better in here already. What a huge difference it makes to have a blue background behind the monitor instead of the brooding brown background that blocked my view of the blue walls.
