Mama was a scaredy-cat when it came to just about everything, including mice, birds, and lizards. Interestingly, she grew up on what I called a farm. Mama insisted it wasn’t a farm, but I knew a farm when I saw one. My grandparents raised all of their food. They had a cow, hogs, chickens, rabbits, a goat, ducks, a huge garden, and a five-seater outhouse.
