Keeping cool was the name of the game this week. Wild weather included 80% humidity, 90°+F temperatures, torrential rains and two, confirmed tornadoes in the area. Thankfully, we are no worse for the wear and the grass and flowers

These eggs will be blown out and sold for decorating. The eggs’ contents are a great source of protein & will be fed back to my peeps.

Thank you, Debbie! I am a lawyer and I also have a lawyer working with me. When I have finished the fight here in Suffield, I will blog about what I believe the right steps are to take. It's always going to be different in each municipality, but the core concepts will be the same.
