Perhaps it is all us boomers getting to the age where some of the less moderate of us are dying off, but lately my thoughts have turned to the wheel of life often. I am still reluctant to slaughter any of my small flock. More and more breakfast seems to come every 15 minutes. I looked at the first entry on my blog and it was clear that this year has flown by, time passes so quickly.

I wrote about chicken soup them, tonight as I write this a chicken is roasting in the oven. I am happy that my annual winter Solstice cold is fading and that my pony is getting more healthy and better mannered each day. Soon I will be able to ride the little fellow, starting a life full of pony adventure.

As I look to the new year, I wonder what it will bring. I know one thing pretty clearly, it will include homegrown tomatoes. Today the first sprouts of next years' tomatoes came up. I started seeds for 48 plants again, I think just the right number.

Happy New Year ... and ...
Cheers for chickens!
