Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I know I'm a giant loser, and I have very little excuse for never posting- perhaps I'll just say that I've been so busy enjoying life that I've not paused to record it.  Are you buying that?

Let's see, where to begin? 
-  We adopted a chicken, who's since gone missing.  (I like to believe that she simply is making her way back to her original home.  Our girls were pretty hard on her.)
-  A lovely pair of Bantams have joined our flock- Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash.  They are sweet & fun- I get the feeling of "baby" chickens without actually having babies
-  Boss Jr. started middle school & is LOVING the structure of the different classrooms/teachers for each subject.  She's got a daily planner! (I know, none of you are shocked.)  She's getting braces in the next few weeks.

Big Fat Update

Ok, I know things have been very quiet for far too long.  I've had a couple comments, and 1 known new reader, so I'm using that as a nudge to revamp & update:

New housemate  (sadly, I cannot get any of the selected pictures to load.  I will update as soon as technology allows...)
introducing Zane!  He's a kitten- wild, funny, a little darting mass of needle-like claws & teeth, prone to crying for Lewis or Bossman.  If neither of them can be located, a female will do in a pinch...

Second Annual Bear Attack
Yes, we've lost a second batch of chicken teens.  This year's attack was almost exactly the same as the first- excepting any surviors. This will be the last time I get baby chicks in this house- I just can't handle the loss.  I do not nuture beings, only to have them terrorized & eaten in the night.  Yes, go ahead, call me overly sensitive.  I'm ok with that.

Human update
Bossman: dealing with illness & major work project.  Both improving- the next 2 weeks are critical.
Boss Jr: dealing with impending puberty & the end of her Elementary years.  Her summer break is booking up quickly.  Her room is always a mess (ok, I know that's not really an update...)
Bosslady: sporting new glasses, and not knitting enough.
