September 11thThe Chickens
I will admit that I'm not an animal person. These chickens are annoying. They're also kind of cool, because they're fairly smart. They know that I am angry that they have torn up what was left of my garden (!!) because of how they act when I walk around the house toward it. They also rush to the front porch when I drive out of my driveway, but they know not to get on the porch when I am here. It drives me crazy. They act all innocent and cluck and peck the ground for bugs at the side of the house, and when I hit the pavement, and drive slowly, looking around, there is a mad dash for the porch. So weird how they know.
I've had my talk with them. It went like this:
"Um, I don't care if you're walking around everywhere, but I had best see some good size eggs soon."
"Cluck, cluck"
"Uh-huh. Don't you cluck-cluck me. This ain't no free lunch here."
"Cluck-cluck." (fluttering of wings)
"You tear up any more of what's left of my garden and you ain't gone have no cluck-cluck left. Get to layin'."
(Waddling away).
(Me hollering)..."You heard me!"
(my kids looking at me like I'm crazy)!! Mainly because they've gotten kind of attached to the chickens.
Max and Ariel, asleep after hard play. Max is 6 weeks old, and is very active. It's a good match, because I have three very energetic kids who are keeping him occupied!
Back in the Saddle Again!
School is back in session. Ariel and Isabelle are in sixth grade this year, and Annelise is in first. It has been busy. We are back in piano, violin, and chorus. Their ballet teacher had to move, and there is no equivalent here in town to Miss Kristina (yet, if ever), so we are taking a break in that area until I decide what to do.
We went on a trip to Texas to see my husband's parents, and we were able to go to Pensacola, Florida to visit a good friend of mine. We were gone right at 2 weeks.
