trying to make a comeback

well i am trying to get back at this. i won't waste time by catching up on the past year and a half i'll just try to jump right in! (or it won't happen) Summer is proving to be much more trying than i thought it would. i waited so hopefully all winter and then it comes and brings the unexpected, lyme disease! something i didn't think people ever really got. now half of our family has it(including myself) and i am just trying not to worry myself to death. Fear has really been the worst. can it be chronic? will the meds really take care of it? how will i know if the babies get it? It's not good. i know i need to trust and it has been a constant struggle. I have prayed and demanded God to heal! now i see that i need to be patient and learn what i can through this experience. anyway this has been a huge part of our summer.
our 14 wonderful chickens are growing nicely and hopefully we will get a coop built soon. i need to get a camera so i can post pics! until then you can just imagine 12 very cute hens and 2 lovely cockerels!

Oh man! I don;t know much about lyme except that you can get it from tick, SO I am guessing that you can pass it to each other? I know a few people around here who have had it as well this summer. I am glad you got the chickens to help you to get rid of those nasty ticks!

actually you can;t pass it it's all from tick bites. we have all been bit by ticks, multiple times!!!
