Mom's still here, eating ice cream just now and watching something on TCM, so I am sneaking in some computer time.

This morning I snuck out of the house early for a walk on Jay Peak with Maisy.

Chicken News
Oh, and we got chickens to raise here at home last week. We moved them off the porch last night and into Whusbuand's "chicken tractor." (A coop on wheels). I'll keep you posted. Maisy is tormented by the sight of them, so close and yet so far behind the chicken wire.
