Stop the madness!!!
Now Roz, I'm originally a country girl!
Believe it or not, I grew up on a small ranch and had to milk goats everyday before school. When I moved away from home I was so hoping that I left that life behind me! But as I get older I am more appreciative of home-grown goodness and I'm willing to put on my rubber boots for good quality, organic food! Plus DH and DD brought home the cutest little chicks and I couldn't refuse...so now we have backyard chickens. At least I'm in the country and on 1/2 acre so my neighbors don't care too much.
