Chicken Scratch

I could really use some chickens right now. August and I found these scenes at two different feed stores. Couldn't resist getting her a toy chicken. She loves it! One day we'll have chickens again and all will have fallen into place.

Chickens unearth things. Watching them do this is so cathartic. I remember mine would uncover 50 and 60 year old plastic toys and clothespins. They showed me where someone had once put up a clothesline. I pictured kids playing at their mother's feet while she hung up clothes.

Chickens unearth everything. It is about time I make the chicken my official, Official Mascot. I need to keep this lil bird on my totem list. No secrets, c'mon chickens....unearth everything.
