Our Backyard on the Front Page: A Strange Life


This picture was on the front page. Kitty and the Hens.  🙂

Britton and I have been thinking that life is like that Talking Heads song, Once in a Lifetime. “You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?” Sometimes Britton and I just look at each other and smile knowing that life is but a dream. You never know how one moment will lead to another. Yesterday, for instance, our cat and chickens were on the front page of the news.

 

It is sad, really how the whole chicken debate turned out. Mostly for people who will continue to live here and try to make this city a better place. I have tried, and believe me, it can be done, but it is HARD work. It is underappreciated work.

But Britton and I are ready to move on both literally and figuratively. We booked our next trip to Puerto Rico in mid-March! We are going to find a house! We are super excited. I can’t wait for the next moment when I look up and ask myself, “how did I get here?”, and then I’ll remember; what a strange life it is going gently down this stream.

    Maybe you have simply “outgrown” your lifestyle in Greeley. The world awaits. Adventure calls. It is big, beautiful and way more interesting “out there.” Lots of weird, literally wonderful, warm, beautiful cities, people, jungles, beaches, languages, mountains, and more to explore. Go for it.

    I can’t wait to hear how it goes down there! In other news, we should totally have a “Keeping Chickens as Backyard Pets” workshop for interested parties 😉

    Yeah, we are both ready. We feel we have prepared pretty well and depending on what kind of property we go for in PR depends on how quickly we both can make the transition.

    Pretty exciting.

    Rosa, Cassie and I are both excited to meet you! We will be in touch (email most likely). 😉

    Claire; that would be fun to do a workshop. I bet there would be a lot of interest. We just got done with our bee keeping class and the turnout was amazing. Im thinking it could be similar for chickens?
