In Central Texas, it is hot in the summer. What a rude awakening to high electric bills. Also, be leery of having over a mile of waterlines. I have learned many things in nearly 10 years on the farm. It has been a hard life but very rewarding.
All birth is such a miracle.
The tiniest little newborn chick causes such joy in my heart. Of course, there is death along with life. It is hard to accept sometimes but it is part of living. I cannot bear to kill a chicken and eat it, however. If a chicken is born here, it is not going to have to worry about the frying pan.
