Not that life slowed down and got boring. Of course not. Instead one of the emu (a lovely girl named Lulu) decided to go on walkabout. She busted through her fence and took off into the wild of rural Pennsylvania. I'm a nature lover and the thought of following trails all day long looking for a missing 6 foot tall dino-bird.... Well at first it did hold some appeal. So let me give you the rundown on my positive spin on a horrible stressful week. 1. Got my steps in - an insane number of them in fact. Woods, fields, hills and dales... My favorites were the gas well roads. Makes for some pretty scenery. 2. When my legs gave out, I had my van to "circle the block" which includes taking the first left on four roads and returning back home again.  3. Gave me a chance to reconnect with my neighbors. All five families on about 5 miles of back roads. I even got to meet two more than I already knew. Yes, you did that math correctly. We've been here on the farm for six years and only got to know 3 of the 5 families until now. It's a very live and let live kind of area. 4. And of course, now that she is safely back in her fence, all's well that ends well.  I had a whole bunch of other stuff that I planned to share today but I've already chattered on for far longer than I promised. Since I was busy hunting for Lulu, no significant progress was made on anything else. With some luck, this week will be calm enough for me to get back on track. Read more and always find your way home. ~ Shannon FARM UPDATE Many asked how a 6 foot bird can go 5 days with no sightings. This here is why. Between the stretches of farmland, there is a lot of woods.
