christine - my grandmother was a crack shot with a 20gauge shotgun.
used to shoot 'em right thru the head. my older sisters got to chase
them around and try and ring their necks, i quess i shouldn't say 'got
to'; they didn't like it.<g> also, they were still bathing in those
big buckets outside. by the time i can remember, there was indoor
plumbing and chickens only for eggs.

the life and food are great. and though i love the land, this is a
tough place to live. if i could somehow transport it, say maybe to
the russian river area, t'would be paradise. maybe a few more seasons
will change things. i never particularly experienced seasons before
coming back here to stay(i'd only stayed for a few months at a time
before). and it's really grown on me. and with the land, you're job
changes as the year does and part of every season is spent getting
ready for the next. i haven't yet been fully prepared for a season
before it arrived. but i am getting closer.

i'll ask about a good way to cook beans without ham hocks or bacon.
i'm not the cook...<g>

i enjoy you're rambling writing, hope you continue.
