Well, here is a new dilemma! June has been so jam-packed with summer greatness that I can't decide what to tell you about first. So with an overwhelmingly happy heart I will just start...not at the beginning but a start none-the-less.
Several months ago our dear friends Amy & Tony decided to get into the chicken business. Only very recently, it became legal to house a few feathered friends in Traverse City proper...thus was born the Urban Chicken Movement. Along with a group of dedicated chicken enthusiasts, they scratched and pecked their way through TC law, learned all there was to learn about raising their own mini-flock and were on their way. During this process, Tony began his own blog describing the trials and tribulations of becoming a computer specialist/mini chicken farmer. Well the chickens aren't mini...I just mean that there aren't many of them. Anyway, you can read all about it at TCBokBok.blogspot.com if you feel so inclined. And I hope you are.
Just this past weekend, the cycling of the first ever Traverse City Coop Loop took place and Hubby and I were proud participants. The idea was to meet at a local park, ride our bikes around to the coops, see how different members of the community were housing their peeps and see what happened along the way.
So, "WHAT HAPPENED? I have to know!" you are thinking.
What happened is that about 200 folks showed up for this "little" tour that could!
200!
And those folks shared ideas.
And shared laughter.
And shared good mojo.
And shared snacks:)
And so in one tiny, little way the community became just a tiny, little bit more of a community.
And that is egg-cellent for us all.
