Chickens
“When we first started we had close to or over 8 thousand chickens. We had more coops to put them in but now they are all on the floor. We have around a thousand. The business is doing good but not like it was years ago.”

I was walking home when I saw this image…
Happy Earth Day!
This picture was taken in Matthew’s Virginia near Mobjack Bay Cottage.
Marvel
During spring break I went down to Virginia to visit my mother’s side of the family.
Of all the friends I could make, I made friends with a horse named Marvel.
I am a city girl, so meeting a horse was kind of scary. I am not used to being so close to animals that are taller and much bigger than me. I was scared to go near Marvel. She came really close to me and broke all the ice that could exist between us.
Now I kind of want my own horse.
The Projects
Best Friends
Today at Mary Mitchell we celebrated Valentine’s Day.
A lot of the children were quite when Miss Josefina, who is Dominican, explained to them that Valentine’s Day is not only about love between a woman and a man but is also about celebrating your friends. In the Dominican Republic the term they use on Valentine’s Day is el dia del amor y la amistad. She said in DR it’s more about friendship.
Here is a photo I took last year of a group of friends who happen to be in the right place at the right time.
They are posing in the Bronx in the West Farms Area near the 2 and 5 train-station. The art work is a sculpture done by Gabriel Salazar.
