The other day J, M and I went to rent some movies from Blockbuster Video. When we pulled up to the store M saw this poster. When she saw it, she perked up and announced "Sushi Bear!"

I look all around and at all the posters and I inquire "what's a sushi bear?" she points again to the same poster and says "Sushi bear. Right there." I look at the poster and realize she is calling the panda from the Kung Fu Panda poster 'sushi bear'.

I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year. I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations. The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres. The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard. Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store. We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...
