Chickens should be more like Bears

and hibernate.  You know,  sleep through the winter.  I just came in from the chicken pen just now at 530 pm  Cleaned up the entire fenced in pen, put the manure in compost bin.  Put more hay in their
closed coop and nesting box.  Gave them some halved seedless grapes.  Earlier today I offered them
their first taste of boiled whole sweet potato.  I tasted it.  It was delicious.  They looked at me like I was
crazy.  They kept trying it and spitting it out, like a 6 month old baby saying, Yuck!   Really, they love
white pasta which has little nutrition but spit out sweet potato.  And I did all this in sleeting rain, gust
of wind and freezing cold. My feet and hands are numb.  I think chickens should sleep in the winter.

The Katie Couric show was sooo good with Eben Alexander a neurosurgeon on who was in a coma for seven days.  His brain was literally gone.  Dead.  He should have never woken up and if he did
he would be a vegetable.  Instead he woke up with no damage. While he was in a coma, he said he
went somewhere else.  He met this angel who  had butterfly wings who stayed with him the through
out the entire experience.  He did not know her but he memorized her face.  He was disappointed as
he had been hoping to be greeted by his father who had passed away 4 years ago.  Later he wrote
this book,  Proof of Heaven.  And he found out that the angel he saw was really his dead sister from
his biological family who he had never known existed as he was adopted.  I bought his book in Walmart. I am reading it.  He was a neurosurgeon who believed that when your brain stopped all
thought stopped.  He said he discovered that we are more than our brain or body.  That there is
something/somewhere else.  We are greeted with love.  I have only started the book.  Here is an interview.  

I have started to watch Homeland on Showtime.  It is about spy's with Claire Dane. I am surprised that
I like the show.  I also love this new PBS series called Calling Midwives.  It takes place in an older
England in the 1930's/40's  Nurses in England who delivered babies.  We had company.  My sister in
law and her husband and niece. Wishing we could go back to Florida in the winter.  A few pictures. Me, in laws, husband, niece and Fall color and Dry Falls.

That is about it.  No one ever comments anymore.
