Thank you so much, Mr. Homegrown!! This is a project I’ve wanted to take on for the last couple of years – this is the year of the chicken!!
Please, anyone who lives in Pasadena (CA), take a look at the petition and my informational site. If you have chickens, want to have chickens or just feel like those who want them should be able to have them, please help support the cause.
And thanks again Erik – your support means a lot.
I support this initiative
Good luck with this campaign and let us know what else we can do.
Okay on the chickens, but does the world really need more bagpipes?
Ha! I used to play them–the only time neighbors ever complained–nothing quite like a beginning bagpiper!
