I expected to forget to blog sooner than this so I think I'm doing pretty good.

The latest big updates:

-First farmer's market day two weeks ago (Laporte, IN).  Rocking success, we made 7.50 in the red (after expenses) and celebrated at Backroad Brewery in Laporte.

-The chickens have started laying eggs, but not yet realized that a nesting box is really the safest home for them, not the middle of the driveway.

-Beefsteak (the white, broiler chicken) is no longer with us.  A fox or hawk is our guess.  Probably a hawk; we had a hawk scare last week, tried to get one of the ducks (you'd think they would go for a smaller animal).

-The ducks have a newly installed swimming pool.

-I haven't gotten any further in my book-reading recently.  I think it's mostly that I'm stuck on Madame Bovary and not enjoying it at all, but Sean keeps sending good literature my way.

-I learned to play ukelele.

-I want to be in a rock band, soon

If you write me a letter, I promise to write back, so you should because it's the most reliable way to hear from me.
