The Library Never Closes

Two Fewer Chicks
No they did not meet with an unfortunate demise or pack it off to freezer camp. I ended up with two bantam chicks of my favorite chicken breed. This year I was twice as careful at the farm store even asking if the sign was correct since this happened last year. Contrary to assurances the [...]
