Lucy’s First Bath
I decided Lucy was going to be different than my other cars. I was not going to haul trees or dogs in Lucy. If something messy needed to be transported i would schedule a rental car or put down painter’s plastic everywhere. It wasnt that she didnt have scratches or paint chips. She did. She’s …
Recent Events
I have a new car. The old one was totaled by a white tailed deer. It was an eye opening experience in which a lot of profound things happened. Maybe i will tell that story one day but for now its still unfolding and its not just my story to tell. But the gist of …
Starting Over
Years ago i had a custom bracelet engraved with my two favorite bible verses. One on the outside where people can see, and the other on the inside against my skin. The one on the outside is Jeremiah 29:11, my favorite bible verse, and it reads: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares …

My other coworker makes t-shirts and my other coworker’s husband makes stained glass. My best friend makes pottery. I like to collect things made by people i …
A Chicken Coop for the Pending Chocolate Orpingtons
My friend had offered to come help me construct this chicken coop, and i was thinking that’d be a good idea in case someone needed to hold a piece in place or against another piece while the other one used the drill. However, the anxiety disorder/adhd combo is a very effective pairing for getting things …

Setting up the Brooder Box
Honestly, as many years as i’ve had chickens now, i’ve never had a legit brooder box. This is partly because i’ve never timed the purchase of chicks with the weather in my area. Not a lot of planning ever went into it. I just purchased chicks when the older batch had died and i needed …
2025 Had One More Surprise in Store
Life is full of surprises. You dont get to say “i’ll never miss another day of work” because you dont know what injury, car accident, or illness is in your future thats going to make that statement a promise you cant keep. Situations arise that must be handled. You dont get to choose whether or …
