ShareI went down to the courthouse on Monday to file the appeal of the decision from the zoning board of appeals. You know, the one where they voted 4-1 in the interpretation of the zoning ordinance against backyard chickens. Andy, The Chicken Whisperer, found the codes in Virginia Beach conflict with each other. One...
ShareWhen I was listening to the Chicken Whisperer radio talk show the other day….I won a chicken feeder, which I needed. EXCITED about the new feeder! Also, Andy talked about the type of bedding/litter for the chicken’s pen/run. According to him, I am using the worst thing possible and I need wood chips. Preferably...
ShareThe city of Virginia Beach, as we current and past residents know, is a mecca for tourists, ALL SUMMER LONG….. I think that is a wonderful source of revenue for the city. During the summer months…..what about the rest of the year when it is cold and the trees are bare and the kids...

Not ticks….no Lyme disease….any questions? Next….mosquitos….we are quickly approaching mosquito season in this area. Who is tired of the “mosquito man” spraying that awful chemical in the streets...

ShareTomorrow is the big day of my appeal hearing before the zoning board. I am excited and a little bit nervous. Vintage Tracy would go in there with both barrels blazing, cocky attitude, foul mouth, and not allowing anyone to step on what I want or believe in with all my heart………The Tracy of...

ShareI thoroughly enjoy hangin’ out with my girls. They are so much fun to sit and watch. I have learned from watching them. They are totally in the present moment. They are individuals within their own little community. They each have their quirky little quirks about them. The term “pecking order” is sure true...
