Our new henhouse

The new henhouse is a conversion job, using a kids’ playhouse as its base. With perches added, an entire wall hinged for easy access and cleaning, and ventilation holes, the ladies—now numbering 12–were moved in last week. And they approved, judging by the noises they made.

Chickens can, of course, be very vocal in their criticisms, but thankfully their praise as well!

The nightmare of an Apple fanboy

I admit it at last. For all my willingness to acknowledge the company’s failings, I am an Apple fanboy at heart. I had a nightmare that involved my iPhone screen getting a nasty crack in it. In the dreamscape, I lifted the cracked screen and wires came tumbling out. I didn’t know what to do, and said to someone unknown in the dream that, if the iPhone goes off for repairs, it will be weeks or months before I get it back given the shortage of units and, therefore, parts.
