Okay, the title of this post is not what you are thinking…although if things don’t turn out as expected, it could be very soon. The Second Street Chicken Ranch is taking full advantage of the City of Coeur d’Alene’s recently amended chicken laws by adopting two new girls to our flock.  Tonight we will be adding a pair of blond bombshells (aka…

This has been quite the slow growing summer. Thanks to a very mild winter that lasted until the end of June, the garden has been just sluggish (in more ways than one) this year.
