Postage Stamp Paradise: Away We Go

I won't lie and say I have been busy, because truly I have not. I feel like I have been working a lot which isn't true either because I am working the same number of shifts as always. I am coming off my orientation period though which has me terrified, the security blanket is going away and baby bird is going to have to fly.

We went to San Antonio last night.....at two in the morning it really sounded like a good idea. I just hadn't counted on how even a big city is totally dead at 2 in the morning on a Wednesday. There is however a mexican restaurant called Mi Tierra that has never closed since it opened a couple decades ago. We had chips, salsa, queso and delicious mexican food 3:45 a.m. How is that for weird? Surprisingly there were other people there, (other night shifters I presume) and a couple of cops.

My original hens Agnes, Pearl, Camille, and Annalise turned on year old on the 16th. I remember the day we got them I put their birthday in my phone. I can't believe that a year has passed since we embarked on our journey of sustainability, farming, practicality, or whatever you want to call it. Getting the chicks kicked off all of the craziness, before that it was just talking and dreaming. I can't believe how much has changed since that fateful day when the husband said, "hey do you want to go to Kaneohe and get some chicks?" we have built a chicken coop, bought two goats and learned how to milk, had seven rabbits that we bred, and learned to process, had a compost pile, ate delicious eggs from our own hens, and grew our own garden. I need to start putting more dates in my phone of firsts and new things. It is nice to look back and see how far you have come.
