I have never wanted to keep chickens, but I've long wished that someone I know would keep chickens. I know we don't know each other, but your newsletter still feels like the perfect amount of chicken life for me, and I thank you very much for including the chickens with your astute and learned observations on law, justice, and politics.

I’m down to my last 3 chickens because my husband who does the cleaning of our chicken coop says these have to be the last. We’ve had these for probably 15 years. I notice how they like to watch me too. Some times I’ll catch them peeking around in different places. They like to watch my dogs and cats and the dogs and cats watch the chickens. Sometimes a cat will nestle down in the yard with the chickens. No one ever harms the others. These animals have helped me enormously through the Trump years. Now they’re with me again while the 10 year olds are acting out in Congress.

Chickens are the greatest composters I’ve ever seen. My neighbors also bring them food and then we’re all happy about not having any food waste.

Time to get out the knitting again. Thanks Joyce for sharing your life with us. You saved me from a nightmare of depression when I thought no one was watching what Trump was doing in the early days. Those were such dark times when I had to start taking antidepressants.

Sad to learn about Jamie Raskin. You’ve all become an integral part of my life . Thank you
