Happy Candlemas! The day the Church celebrates the presentation of the Infant, the purification of the Virgin, and has traditionally blessed candles, a reminder of Christ being the light of the world.
Great story! It's funny; I haven't even begun to raise chickens yet (planning stages), and I'm already contemplating whether or not we can add Nigerian dwarf goats to our suburban homestead...
Yay! Chickens as the gateway drug, indeed. Also, we are probably the same age. I went through the DARE program, too. We had to give hugs with a string of yarn tied around the other person’s yarn necklace. These were called “warm fuzzies.”
Whenever I hear "gateway _anything_ " I hear it in Nancy Reagan's voice. The '80's were often a dumb time in which to grow up. Minus the ability to free range as a child, which was good. Delightful writing, as always!

Oh man, we ALSO went from chickens to Nigerian dwarf goats! I have a LOT of thoughts on that progression. See me for 1000000 tips.
