"Cockadoodledoo"

From my friend Brendan Mooney: 

Grumpy St Peter, standing at the gates of heaven, says to naughty Tommy

"You can't come in, you've been real bad"

Tommy says, "How bad?"

St Peter says: "Well, for starters, Tommy, you did not believe in God, drank too much whiskey, swore and cursed...need I go on Tommy?"

Tommy shrugs and says: "Oh that's too bad, but in my defense I only have one thing to say to you Peter".

St Peter says: "And what is that, Tommy?"

Tommy says: "Cockadoodledoo" 
Luke 22:34
St Peter says: "Eh, yeah, I forgot about that...Welcome home!"

If we live in glass houses, put down the stone!

Walk In The Forest, Be A Part Of Nature

“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”
― Susan Polis Schutz

                                                   David Wagoner

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

Pay It Forward

Inquiring Minds Want To Know...

I was lying in my warm cozy bed this morning debating on whether I wanted to get out because it was so cold outside the covers. As I lay there my mind wandered from one subject to another. First I was thinking of animals outside in the cold, which led to friends who have chickens, and wondering if their hen houses were insulated. Then my mind wandered to the chickens Kate Gosselin had, and wondered if she still had them... which led to thinking of how she is getting by in their huge mansion now that she is a flash in the pan???? 

My mind then went to the thought of wondering what she thinks of Honey Boo Boo as being the next Big thing in reality TV????

As for the chickens they can withstand cold as long as it isn't damp.http://www.motherearthnews.com/ask-our-experts/chickens-and-cold-weather-zb0z10zblon.aspx

Abby is ten years old.  I love the way she realizes that just because one dream hasn't come true, to not give up on other dreams!
