Good work. Love the pieces….especially the “Speaking Out.”
Peter – So glad you decided to blog. When I commented about it over at the OG Forums, I promised I’d visit you here every morning over coffee – and I intend to keep that promise. Keep up the good work, friend.
I think you’ve done a wonderful with your site, Peter. Love the picture you chose for the header.
I know you will do well and the site will get better and better. Wishing you every success.
Best,
Theresa

I am looking for your ideal chicken coop article which was published in Country Journal a long time ago. Using my public library’s online database I can get a citation but not the full text.
Hi Kathy,
Okay it’s only been two years, but about that chicken house thing, I’m on it — clearing out old magazines. If you still want the article, email me at pfossel@gmail.com. Sorry about the little delay….
Glad to have found you again from OG days
