Wheaton Wild Life

Hi! I’m John

I am a part-time employee at a local home center, a Kubb player, a chicken rancher, and an amateur carpenter and wood worker . I recently took up the hobby of writing. I live on a 20-acre farm in the rural Wisconsin with my wife, Leslie. We share our lives with chickens, dogs, and cats. I enjoy documenting our experiences, past and present.

I will do my best to add a short piece on a weekly basis. The topics will vary greatly based on whatever observations or memories pass through my head.
