Well, the sun does shine in the world! And flowers do come in blossom for real and it's not imagination. There is one snowbank left and it will be there awhile since it's close to 4 feet high yet. The days press on, life keeps going, and there is beauty that suddenly pops out of unexpected places. Yes, even chickens! I love chickens- much to the chagrin of my Dustin. No I will not decorate a kitchen with them, but their antics are hilarious and they give fresh eggs. Some can't fit in the carton.... The other day I came home to find them fighting over a piece of twine. I'm not sure what the attraction was, but they were fighting about it. Whiski got them straightened out properly by chasing them away from garden. She's such a good little watch dog. :) She also is not impressed to talk on the phone when she's trying to sleep as you can see above. Really, she runs the place. We just live with her.
