Because at this point there are just no words…. The highlight of the adventure home, besides the fact very little damage was received, was the chickens. All eleven survived and all ten seemed to be laying eggs. Hurricane or no hurricane, these are some egg laying peepers!
What an amazing, life changing experience last week held for Boxes in Fields. There was sandlands, desert lands, and mountainlands, moose, elk, and pronghorns, and highways, backways, and dirt ways.
