Things I've Learned (or a little trvia!)

1. Chickens eat eggs (does that make them cannabalistic??? and we eat them... doesn't say much for us.)

2. Grasshoppers poop... yes they do and its big enough to see!

3. No matter how much you clean house... you have to keep doing it. Its like wiping your a-- with a hoop (as my Dad says) kind of pointless.

4. Friday the 13th is not unlucky.

5. The full moon does make you want to howl and sing and dance and run around naked.

6. Your children are all different no matter how many you have. (that one was a shock)

7. You can have creatures that fall in love even when they are not of the same species. (alpacas and sheep for instance)

8. Brand new door knobs don't always work.

9. Eyebrows sometimes are connected.

10. Not everyone who gets to their 50th anniversary love each other. (this one also was a shock)

11. Grasshopper poop can be almost as big as mouse poop! (I've measured)

12. A really good movie can be watched many times and still give pleasure... even for adults.

13. Knitting is more pleasurable when done with hands than with a knitting machine. (This is very personal)

14. The planet breathes and right now it is wheezing because it has a respiratory virus. It just needs to get rid of the snot..... (that's us in case you were wondering.)

15. Finding money in a pocket of a jacket you haven't worn since last year is great... not all crinkling in your pocket turns out to be money.

16. You always worry about your children even when they leave home.... I'm not looking forward to that.

17. Procrastination never works out.

18. Always check the hole of a squirt bottle with the hole pointed away from you! Remember this one.

19. Bats migrate. A good thing too since it gives you a chance to fill up the holes where they were getting in.

20. Honey bee nests in your walls, while a mess, is a real bonus.

20. If you have a friend with a honey bee farm invite them to put some hives at your place.... you get free honey... its great.

21. Honey bees have orange bums.

22. Hornets suck! Enough said.

23. Flies are irritating bu--ers! As they still persist in showing me daily.

24. Try to finish your projects from time to time without starting new ones.

25. Fingernails that are long are rarely clean when you live on a farm.

25. A husband (at least mine) can be a really great thing. (remember this is "things I'VE learned")

26. Not everyone is as lucky picking out a mate as I was.

27. Natural dyeing requires patience to get good results... (I don't get good results usually.... )

28. A rye sense of humour can help at times.

29. A rye sense of humour can make things worse sometimes.

30. Impart the knowledge you've accumulated... someone may benefit. (But then some may think, "What a ninny!")
