I can just see her tipping back and forth trying to balance on such an unstable roost.
Me too
She’s a very good listener

This is Lucy


She is the last of our original flock of Dominics. She loves to sit in my lap. If I sit down and call her she comes running. If I’m doing chores, she follows me around until I pick her up and hold her. I think that’s amazing.
Spotted Sussex?
That’s hysterical. Maybe I can use that to get the chickens in at night.
I don’t know. I didn’t think that far ahead. It’s actually a dumb comment. I’m trying to engage bit I’m also old.
Brilliant! I sure was child when I was raising mine but I really didn’t think of my own parents like. I have to mull this over

Yes, bountiful curiosity can help you to find a better path. I finally received my PhD at 38 only to discover that my family thought it was a waste of time, especially if I wanted to do research. Because research is worthless. I just wish I had understood more when I was raising my kids so I could prepare them better. They swear to me that they are ok despite my laisez faire parenting.
That’s wonderful. Congratulations! I was a late bloomer as well. No one prepared me for life. I had to figure it out myself. I’m old now and still enjoy figuring things out. I hope all the best for you.
