A testament to wisdom of wild creatures

When I moved here from the Cd’A area in 1980, I bought a great log home on Smith Creek Road off Wrenco Loop.

I turned the outbuilding into a chicken house and with the gift of five chickens, began my sojourn as a landowner, crop-grower, wood-choppin’ Earth Mother.
