The sun came out in Portland and I feel inspired! I have discovered that putting on a sundress, even though I am just wearing it in the house and to the backyard, it really lifts my mood. Anyone else find that getting dressed nicely and taking care of yourself helps boost the quarantine blues?

The chickens are taking over! You may be wondering how this happened in the first place.
Kauaiian chickens really only came into their own as the pigeon of Kauai in the past few decades. After Hurricane Iniki destroyed chicken enclosures in 1992, many of the island's captive chickens were released into the jungle and streets.
