Happy New Year! Turning the calendar from December to January is always a good time to think about the last year and consider what might be on the way in the coming year.

We all get the same amount of ice. The rich get it in the summer. The poor get it in the winter. (Bat Masterson) We have had a run of multiple days without the temperature getting up to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. We stayed in the single digits or below zero at nights, and some days didn’t warm up to twenty. …
It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs. (Margaret Thatcher) Last week while my daughter was visiting Christmas week, we visited a nearby chicken farm. The farm is a couple of miles away from where I live, but I might never have known that except for their hen guarding dog, Bunny. Last year …
