Ten

I thought I'd have time for a proper post tonight, but, as usual, I've worked myself right out of time.  So, inspiration struck, and here follow 10 random Points of Interest / True Facts:

1. Annie Blue is trying to catch a mouse in my office as we speak ('course, she brought it IN and then let it go so that she could play with it).
2. I became a new auntie today!!  (But, shhhh, I need to let her tell you first!)
3. I'm hungry.  But it's 11:45 at night, and I'm going to bed.
4. I am down to 4 (pullets, now) of my original 15 Partridge Rock chicks.
5. I think I know what's killing the chickens:  a nasty squeal from the chicken yard brought me out at a trot near sunset only to see something large, grey, and winged take off from one of the trees surrounding their area.  No wonder I haven't caught anything in the on-the-ground live trap!
6. I collect coins.  My mother didn't know that.
7. I've finally settled on names for the kittens (I think):  Bonzi for the cuddly one, and Dosie for the timid one.
8. Our heat and humidity has finally broken, I think.
9. I thought I'd be able to get the new computer I need for just under $500.  (You can begin laughing hysterically now.)
10. The new header picture is a scanned postcard from many years ago of the little berg I call "town".

That's all!  Discuss amongst yourselves.
