We went to a farm and garden center to pick up supplies Friday. They had some month old chicks, so Mama bought Eric another 3 Australorp pullets and 2 Partridge Rock pullets. He also has a hen sitting on a small clutch of eggs, so his flock keeps expanding.

I've never grown Strike bush beans, so I bought a pound of seeds for a test run. I was going to buy some extra Derby bean seeds, but they were too expensive at $6.95 for half a pound. They're much cheaper at Twilley Seed. No matter how much I'd like to buy local, I have a tight budget this year.

Miesha put on a show at the farm supply, running around wild and embarrassing us all. I'm setting limits with her, but I don't expect overnight results. Her Daddy lets her get by with everything, as does Mama. Beverly is often impatient with her, which never gets good results.

I'd love to talk to my Grandma Walker and ask her how she managed to be so patient with children, never getting flustered and always being consistent. Daddy was the same way, while Mama had a bad temper and had no patience at all. Naturally, she's too patient with Miesha, who is the first human she's ever been patient with in her life.

The sad thing is that some people are misunderstood, while others' failure to make connections is their own fault. On my flist, Asatruteacher was an example of the latter.

Some people just don't have the knack for forming solid friendships.
:^(

Some people aren't willing to take the time and make the sacrifices that it takes to be a true friend.

Also true.
There are a lot of people who get snake-bit by people who simply aren't willing to put much time or effort into being a real friend. (This has happened to me.)

It tends to happen to big-hearted people-we tend to give more chances to people, even those that don't deserve them.
