Chickens. 7 of them.

I have 7 too....I love my chickens

I don't have any chickens.  :'(

Do you live in an apartment? they are so easy to keep even with a small back garden.

I definitely have the space. There is even an old coop on our property. But I'm not sure I have the time right now to start a new project. I always thought that keeping chickens would be fun though.

Go big or go broke (when the time is right), get some goats too and watch the goats playfully chase the chickens.....adorable

Definitely! I'd love to have some goats too. There is nothing like fresh milk for making cheese.

Goats will be worth the investment just for the opportunity to taste your roasted cabrito again and your outstanding cheese.

I just canceled an order from them a few minutes ago! The balance is maintained.

The Glories Of Mary by St. Alphonsus Liguori

True Devotion to Mary: with Preparation for Total Consecration by...it should be obvious by now!

I also ordered some other books along with these, but these are two I said on the forum elsewhere that I planned on buying. And I did.

I actually have The Glories of Mary as a free audio book from librivox.org. My favorite way to consume books.

Many of the best works are available for free in various formats (it makes things very easy to get good sources).

I have good hearing, but I watch movies and shows with subtitles on. I'm not into listening if I can read.

I like them baked with a bit of olive oil.

I finally got my hardcover copy of Iota Unum a couple of months ago.

An excellent purchase.

Do you mean you received it just now after ordering it a couple of months ago?

They arrived today. I got the beads for the Silver Fatima Rosary first, and when I got back, the books were delivered.

I bought the TAN versions. Picture in low light attached.

The wife found a great deal on seasons 1-13 of the Murdoch Mysteries, plus the 3 Christmas specials.

Nice. Say a Rosary for us once you get it blessed.

I bought HP Toner today.

It is like making a pact with the devil himself, dealing with printers.

(Incidentally, this is related to the previous purchase, which requires a shipping label to be printed.)
