To one day raise chickens in my 0.1 acre backyard in Southwest Minneapolis. What, urban chicken raising you say? Yes - it's all the rage - read about it here, and here (Minneapolis Community Ed even has a class called - Chickens in the City!).
Even though I personally don't eat eggs, there's something about raising chickens and collecting eggs that just appeals to me - like I'm getting back to my roots (my grandparents were farmers!). Many of you that know me think I'm crazy, but my dream goes a little like this:
I get to take a sabbatical from my Corporate America job to raise chickens, tend to a garden, and craft all day long. Every morning I go to collect eggs in my (handmade!) apron. I spend my morning baking (and watching the View - yes this dream does involve cable television and DVR). I spend the afternoon doing crafts of my choice. Doesn't this sound lovely? I realize I will eventually (like 10 days into this experiment) go crazy, but it's a scenario I often day dream about. What is your unrealistic day dream?
And yes - I have been crafting - a lot. My Corporate America job has recently changed and I've found I have a lot more time at night to indulge in knitting and crochet (made Will a hat in 2 nights!) Unfortunately I don't seem to have more time to do things like clean or plaster the kitchen ceiling. Pics coming soon - my photographer has been a little busy.

My dream is to remain employed so I can buy my eggs already fried, scrambled, or boiled along with the strips of pig already butchered and fried at my local cafe. Having someone else do the work.....Now THAT's a dream!
