Your Ideal Home is a Farmhouse |
You want your home to be an escape from everything - including civilization. You want to be away from it all. You don't mind having to travel a bit more for things if it means you get to come home to a starry sky every night. You would love to get back to nature. Growing and preparing your own food is right up your alley. There's nothing more relaxing than imagining a quiet day with fresh air and plenty of critters to keep you company. |

Best Oscar Movie
With the Oscars coming up, ABC News has come up with an NCAA basketball-type bracket which allows you to rank the best Oscar winners over the past 64 years.
Easy to do; hover over each entry with your cursor to see a synopsis of each movie, then click on one to send it on to the second round. Do one side, then go over to the other. (there will be more of the bracket and you'll need to scroll down to see all the choices)
There were only a few movies I had not seen and coincidentally enough, the very first choice I had to make was between two of them (Argo and The Artist). I went ahead and voted, not only because I had to in order to complete the first round, but I had read enough about both of those movies to make an informed choice.
Other choices were much more difficult to make, because I HAD seen both and loved each but had to make a choice. (such as Patton and Midnight Cowboy) Difficult decisions aside, it was a fun thing to do. The next round will begin Feb. 6th and I'm looking forward to continue voting and to eventually see which movie gets the most votes.

HenCam
A recent discovery, I really enjoy getting updates from the site in my reader and I try to visit every day I can to view the various webcams. The owner of the site is a lady who lives in a small town outside of Boston.
There's an outside cam (pictured above), where you can find the hens on most days. It's fun to watch them peck and scratch the ground and I find it as entertaining as watching an aquarium full of fish. There's also inside cameras, one in a separate barn for chickens and another for the same chickens pictured in the above screen shot. There's also a GoatCam (actually two, one for inside and another outside that will switch between them on a motion sensor) that shows the activities of the two Nigerian Dwarf Dairy goats, Pip and Caper.
The hens also all have names, but I'm not familiar enough yet to recognize each of them. There's a page with photos of each with their names. If you watch long enough, you'll also see Phoebe the rabbit hopping in or out of the view.
Today's article was very interesting, about re-introducing a hen - Beulah - back into the flock. (there really IS such a thing as a "pecking order"). Check it out; if you like animals and especially chickens (and goats and rabbits!) you're sure to enjoy it as I do.
