Maybe it's because I spent the whole weekend lounging in the sun (with friends and beer), but I'm feeling a little fresh air and sunlight deprived these past two days.

Right now that homestead (with a pond with ducks and frogs and maybe fish and turtles) is seeming awfully far away. The whole oversleeping thing this morning made me miss out on groceries and a little time I wanted to spend out in the garden weeding and/or puttering.

I want a pond.

Right now I want to be in the middle of my garden with a bunch of goats and chickens and to not be concerned with arrest warrants and taking calls and being stuck in a windowless room for eight to twelve hours a day. I love this job, I do, but it's in the city and there's no daylight, ever.

Maybe I'll go and research heritage chickens some more.

Don't forget, pond = mosquitoes. It can also mean lots of frogs and a phenomenon described by a friend as "the applause when you use the outhouse". ;)

How about other critters suited our climate, e.g., Highland Coos:

Best I could do, getting your goat.
