Yoyo Garden Chicken Morning


Yoyo survival garden chickens are always ready in the morning for their laying mash and a day of scratching for bugs in the Florida permaculture garden chicken yard.

We feed our three hens a combination of greens from the garden, worms and fly larvae from the worm bin, cracked corn and laying mash.

The third hen is in the laying box in a broody mood.

Chickens sure can vocalize and tell you what they are thinking.  

They give back in so many sustainable ways; eggs, fertilizer, pest control, fun and much more!

Just Another FB Rant About One of My Doctors

Dear Doctor: 

I want to extend an offer of help. FYI, you can tell me the same thing in the affirmative or in the negative. No need to predictably revert to the negative when blurting out my condition. You are revealing your insecurities! 


Fear not as I am here to help you. Next time you come in the exam room to speak with an aortic dissection survivor bite your tongue before blurting out 'after looking at your CT scans If I didn't see you sitting here I'd think you were dead or on the operating table!' 


Copy and paste or memorize the following utterance and don't act surprised I'm sitting in front of you with my torn aorta. You may say, 'You are a survivor. Your body is strong and you are on your way to recovery. I'm glad to be on your health management team and here is what I recommend.'


I promise then not to refer to your as Dr. Depression or Dr. PTSD and you may earn my trust. Hey, without me you're resume would not be as experienced with rare diseases.


You can do this. I got your back, Doc. I'm still alive. My aorta is torn, yup, but its like warped plywood - may be separated but still holding strong. And I promise I won't speak anymore of your insecurities.
