Two Years

[ithildyn]

Yipes, just realized it has been nearly two years since I was here. Can't say I have much to report. I suppose the big news, such as it is, is that we now have ducks, in addition to the chickens.

How are you having it? Boiled, fried, over easy? In quiring minds want to know! :)

Good to hear from you! Do the chickens and ducks coexist peacefully in the same coop?

Same here. They're a lot of fun.

I'm so glad to hear from you. It seems like it's been forever. I don't post much anymore either though. It doesn't seem like much is going on since I stopped using the dating sites and don't have anything new to report.

Ducks? It sounds like you've taken in a lot of feathered friends. Do you have cats?

[ithildyn]

We still have way too many cats :)

Yep it's good to check in every once and a while. Sometimes I get sad that LJ isn't what it once was. That was a great time for creativity etc.
So how's things :D
