It's always said that a picture can tell a story. This one may look like an ordinary picture to any outsider, even boring, but to me it tells me two stories. These chickens and rooster are few of many we have here on the farm and although their fresh eggs are yummy, these little birds are a bit of a pain in the butt. They leave little surprises EVERYWHERE. Call me crazy but I swear they do their business on the walkway on purpose. But a new habbit they have come to enjoy is to make their way into the back yard just at the moment I put the little boy down for a nap and chuckle and COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO! I then have to run outside and chase them off with the broom before they wake him.
This picture also reminds me at the time a year ago today I was awful sick from the pregnancy. Morning sickness, afternoon sickness, night sickness the whole nine yards. Granted I didnt feel up to working in the garden last year, this year it shows. Where there were once beautiful lillies, hostas, and wood chip mulch there is now different families of weeds overtaking, drawling in the bugs, which (and I get to my point now) drawls in the chickens! I guess you have to give a little to get a little. In this case for exchange for the eggs they get their kicks by pissing me off everyday. Got to love them!
