I read a news article yesterday and am now awake way too early on a Saturday morning because I've had nightmares all night long that wove in details of what I read in the article, and details of what's going on in the world right now. SIGH. This is why I don't watch/read through news anymore. I haven't read any news since the election, and I broke my no-news rule the other day because a friend is affected by the federal cuts and I wanted to read up on things in order to support her better. But, in doing that, I ended up screwing my subconscious over. I put my "no news" barrier in place for a reason; I should stick to it. That's my self-care, among other things. I, too, have been obsessively refilling my bird feeders and tapping on my Merlin Bird ID app more than usual this past week. I think I'll stick to that. 👍
As a doting grandmother to 20+ grandchickens, I'm embracing this ode to our feathered beauties ... and hoping for a dozen eggs next time I stop by to visit.
I never thought about putting grain in the coop with them on their straw! I'll have to try that next week -- temps are supposed to plummet here.

Love this, and so 100% agree.
