Bailing Out the Ark

Building a new chicken coop. This one on wheels. With a thatched roof.
Planted squash right next to a field of buckwheat. The buzz in the morning is cocophonous.
Driving down to the Outer Banks to buy fish. Lots of fish.
Tried to steal some honey from the bees. They stole it back.
Saving red-cockaded woodpeckers. Someone has to.
August. The kitchen is full of flies.
Would life be easier without animals?
