New Batch of Babies
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Thursday, July 01, 2010
A new batch of “babies” arrived yesterday and I couldn’t be prouder.
Years ago, when we decided to get a flock of hens, I wondered if I was in love with the idea of chickens, but would be disappointed with the birds themselves.
But no. I really do love chickens.
Big fat hens are hilariously cute. Rowdy roosters are pretty to look at and predictably noisy (and dumb—Really, Rex? 3:00 am is time to start... READ MORE

All Awkward, All the Time

Okay.
So perhaps spending 30 minutes browsing the photos at AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com and wiping away tears of laughter is not the best use of my time.
But its newly announced sister site? AwkwardFamilyPetPhotos.com? Now that’s a vital resource we would all do well to take advantage of more often.
A Communication Innovation

I bemoan the demise of handwritten correspondence as much as anyone. I fully recognize the superiority of a personal, handwritten note to a computer-generated one and I note quite sadly that letter writing is indeed a dying art.

Carnival Round The World
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Saturday, March 06, 2010
Searching for an illustration for Fat Tuesday a week or two ago, I stumbled upon a fabulous collection of Carnival celebrations from around the world.
Going far beyond the floats and face paint of the celebration in Rio, the pictures introduced me to unknown and fascinating celebrations such as an orange festival in Spain and a mud festival somewhere in Latin America.
