Bertha continues to get better! We are going to build an enclosure in the basement and move all our birds down there so she can have chicken company during the winter without having to endure the cold. She loves us but I'm sure she misses normal chicken life --- and her flockmates miss her, for sure.

I'm getting some potting soil to attempt to plant some pothos cuttings I've been growing in a cup of water for a month or so now. I did this with four basil cuttings and only one made it, but I will try a little harder with these and see if I can get more lucky. I also planted some huge aloe cuttings from a professor at school and they seem to be doing quite well. I should also start thinking about if I want to try to grow more office plants this spring --- I have quite a few but you can never really have too many!

I guess I am going to make some time to talk to my parents after thanksgiving. I still don't really know what to expect or what I actually want from them.
