This so sad to watch. I may get irritated at chicken poop all over, but we have healthy happy free ranging chickens. Each one has its own special personality. They communicate with us, in their chicken ways, just like dogs, cats, horses & donkeys.
These chickens are going to be killed today💔They only lived for 6 weeks. Chickens can live for 10 years. So they lived 6/520 = ~1.1 % of their potential lifespan in a horrible shed. Never lived a natural life. Never saw their parents. Abuse of life and beings. #LiveVegan 🌱🙏

As Jung metaphorically expressed it, “A neurosis is an offended god.” What he meant is that an energy in us has been repressed, oppressed, split off, projected onto others, and thereby has been wounded or “offended.”~James Hollis

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔
A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.

I’ve been thinking about this response I got yesterday, relative to all the men that took offense to my expertise over the last 50 years. I didn’t give him any advice. I offered information he doesn’t have & a different perspective. He blocked me.

No kidding. I’d like to know why I’m all of a sudden having to call 100 people to find out if my prescriptions are going to be covered by insurance & if not, why not. I’ve had to pay out of pocket for 3 drugs, after several days for “insurance delay”.
Y'all, I just want to get my medicine to stave off kidney failure; I do not want to call 100 different people to figure it out.

WTF? Freeze warning issued for area 2 hours south. If we had a freeze warning or freezing temp forecast, I missed it. Everything that got wet with rain is frozen solid this am, 26°. Hoses & tanks didn’t get winterized - may have a busted pipe in the barn.

Texas is being quietly reengineered into a system where voters have shrinking power, cities lose control over their own budgets, and courts can no longer check the executive. This is happening through constitutional traps most Texans never saw coming. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Each of us has a so-called masculine task, and each of us has a so-call feminine task. . . Our summons is both to be and to do; it is to nurture and to define; it is to be at home and to journey. ~James Hollis, 𝘔𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘴

My fire building little man. Started him early. Helps his mom & dad are firefighters. But, they freak out when I let him play with fire. I figure if it gets out of hand, they can take care of it.

A doe passed through the creek yesterday am. We see deer tracks at the stock pond all the time. She’s unusually close to the house.

I left the hay wagon for 10 seconds. Nothing but a little bit of shake in there, the alfalfa is on the ground. 🤷♀️

OMG - watching Ken Burns “The American Revolution”. One of my ancestors is quoted, Eliza Lucas Pinckney. What she said is horrible, hard to hear. I would have preferred they’d mention or quote the 1 that worked on the bill of rights & both that signed the Constitution.

I went to the south porch to drink my coffee, so the horses wouldn’t see me & bang on the gate for breakfast. Cash found me. He’s going to just stare at me until I get up.
