I knew the outfit before I scrolled down to see her. <br /><br />I like small local stores, too. :) Thanks for sending us newer folks back to this post.

We'd have some laughs, me thinks ! I think people have forgotten how wonderful a "real" egg tastes as opposed to even the organic ones you buy in a store. No comparison. It is nice to have a regular spot to sit and eat, read and visit. It is an important part of community, too. Thanks for the nice comments about this post. <br /><br /><br />Ms.Starr :) Yes, they can get in through the most miniscule cracks. I swear they teleport or shapeshift. The neighbors have a cat and I think it helps. I may not have the problem the previous owner perceived I would, either. :) We shall see...Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-55404626559001434442010-08-29T13:44:25.871-05:002010-08-29T13:44:25.871-05:00Just had to tell you - Gary just came in the house...Just had to tell you - Gary just came in the house and told me he fixed his air compressor which had quit running. He found a dead dried up rat inside the mechanism and a bunch of seeds, the space to get in was less than an inch, they really can get through the smallest crevices.

Love the humor! I wish we could meet somewhere for coffee.<br /><br />I have a dozen eggs from the neighbors' chickens in my fridge, and they're a rainbow. They taste completely different from styrofoam eggs.<br /><br />I had breakfast this morning at our local diner, where I read a back issue of Time magazine and chatted with the servers and the owner. I love a weekend breakfast at that place.

It is a beautiful Sunday. Thank you.<br /><br />Catherine: What fun, to get to know someone new in my life. So glad we found each others blogs. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. I hope you're having a good Sunday, too.<br /><br />Lynne: I'm glad to be sharing these adventures with you. Your life inspires me.<br /><br />Jack; Actually, I have not used a spit, but I have done some cooking over a campfire. Nothing tastes better than fried potatoes and onions fresh from a cast iron pan over an open fire. I didn't get off the property much, either. We are kindred spirits.

Your sense of humor really came out in this. I like to shop locally, too. We don't have as many establishments out here in the brush. Ever use a spit on an open fire? Just kidding. In my childhood, chickens were all around our house. Back then, in a small town, it was okay to keep them. I learned a lot of chicken calls. I didn't get off the property much. <br /><br />Excellent post.

I wonder if it knows? If people laugh at it I mean. I did.<br />Just a little more. (I talk too much). Thank you for telling me it is an appaloosa horse.
