Stone sheepfold John 10:22-30 Recently my boys have been spending a great deal of time outside in the area that will soon be transformed into our garden. They spend endless hours digging in the dirt for worms. They then promptly take those worms and throw them to the chickens. It amazes me how even chickens can learn to recognize sounds or voices.

I am a new Catholic blogger and found your blog. I was thinking that it was going to be a place to pray the rosary together.

Since I am not from Ohio, I was surprised that these buckeyes shrivel up a bit!
Anyhow, I will add your blog to my favorite list.
Here are my blogs if you would like to do the same:

P.S. The Bucks play tonight on t.v. So now we will listen to our old cassette tape of "Script Ohio" to get pepped up!
Bye for now,
Bella!
Thanks for the post and welcome to the blog world. There are some great blogs out there. I love Athens and visit often since it is practically in our backyard. Thanks again! Go Bucks!
