One of the reasons that Greg & Rachel chose to move their brood from the big city to a small town was the opportunity to produce some of their own food. Along that line they have joined a chicken co-op in the neighborhood. Yesterday Greg helped build the coop and this morning Rachel helped install the twenty hens. Their responsibilities going forward are to check on the hens and gather eggs twice on Sundays and other members will take care of the other days of the week. By the end the day today they had collected a dozen eggs and Miles had learned about warm eggs and holding hens. Perhaps by this time next year the family will have their own flock and be planting their own vegetable garden!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
This is awesome! I would love to have chickens
