What with last week’s silkie and this week’s chicken, I have maybe gotten started on a barnyard series. Stay tuned and we’ll see! And in the meantime, check out the arkettes!

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, Ralph (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). Our daughter, Emmie, plays a supporting role on the blog -- she's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. Ralph and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...

Great pic. You can see in this chicken’s eyes the wisdom accumulated over a lifetime. I bet it’s crossed the road many times just for the thrill of it.

This should be in the bathroom!

Heh. Now, that’s going to sound like a very strange comment to anyone who doesn’t know that we have a small art gallery in one of the bathrooms…

All I can say is WOW!

I like chickens!
