This Little Red Hen is an  amateur grown-up.  She would like to sow, reap, grind and bake the wheat, but finds it’s best to leave all that to the experts and proceed straight to the eating of bread.  With butter.  Lots of butter.  Despite her apparent lack of skills and sanity, she has managed to acquire a fabulous husband, two bad dogs, a wild ginger-boy, eight chickens and three raised gardening beds.  Wish her luck.
