Five Facts Friday

2.  I love to read. 

I read this book on my Kindle for Ipad on Tuesday night, and it changed the way I think about my chickens forever, seriously.

5.  I'm nuts about my husband, though that may not be fashionable. 

He helps me do things like this: 

So that this can happen: 

Happy, happy birds. 

And now, if you have time, go watch a lovely short video of a quite remarkable Fell pony stallion at Stacy Kimmel's blog...
