Forget about the mention of possibly cancelling the Introduction to Alcohol Ink Painting Class in the last post. It's a "go." Thanks to the recruiting methods of friend, Fran! She really wanted this class for a long time and was not about to give up easily! So, see some of you in Milton-Freewater, Oregon at Arts Portal on Saturday, June 24th! Be ready to get messy and have some fun! Anyone can do this, honestly!
Seems, along with Thousands of other Chicken Mama's, some are referring to me as a "chicken whisperer." Well, I do chat with Minnie (Min Min), Shy, Freida, Molly (By Golly), Daisy, and Itty Bitty, (mostly, Biddy.) The girls are very understanding, you know. They jump onto their pen perch, cock their heads listening and then respond. When they hear our back door open they rush to the front of their pen eagerly hoping we are bringing them some yummy treat. In fact, they look forward to a morning and evening snack. Yes, I have read about "obese" chickens. I'm thinking their snacks are well balanced and nutritious. Plenty of greens, a handful of sunflower seeds, scraps of fruit, and no meat. They have their organic laying pellets and fresh water. If it should become hot (not too often yet) I put ice cubes in a fresh jar of water to go along with their water container. Usually it has a dash of organic vinegar, a dash of honey and a couple cloves of minced garlic! Now, please understand....these girls are not, let me repeat, NOT spoiled. They are very smart-not "dumb chickens" like some people think. We witness their clever ways. When we go to move their pen/house (it has wheels) with the tractor (purchased to move the so called, "chicken tractor) they quickly march up their ramp into their house until arriving at their new fresh location a few feet away. Yes, they cluck and cluck anxious to arrive and once again be free to roam in their rather small pen. Freida, does watch carefully for an opportunity to take a little hike....whereby, Lulu, our Border Collie stands ready to assist in curtailing her wandering ways.
No free range here, just pampered chickens perhaps. So much, for a chicken saga this time. Thought I'd throw it in, since John (my website manager) has had fun adding a line on the web!
