Tuesday Tunes: Brave New World

The chicks are about 7 weeks old and looking more and more like miniature chickens these days. They’re finally ready to come out of the coop and explore the outdoors.  Although it will be a while before they’re free-ranging in the pasture, these little guys have plenty of room inside the safety of the aviary for now.

It’s About Showing UP

  “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
