      Same for me. I'm 80 yrs old and disabled. Nothing wrong with my mind. I grew up on a farm and appreciate the constant work involved. I'm enjoying learning about anything. My late husband said, "You fill your head with totally useless tivia." I think he was jealous of my interest in learning.

    Back when we lived in Illinois we had chickens on the farm. We had a creek running through our property, I would get a couple buckets of creek sand and spread it in the chicken yard. We let them range most of the time but we fed them in one location. They spent most of the year out in the yard but every night they would go back to the chicken coop. We miss the fact that now we don't have access to home grown eggs. The eggs sold in the store today do not taste near as good as the home grown ones that we remember.

    I used pastel colored ones, not just white, or whatever would be their normal color to lay.
