it can't get much better than that...
I Kelly,
Oh..my...goodness...
I went to the mcmurrayhatchery site, and it is all I can do
to restrain myself from ordering something...oh, what have
you done to me now!
Oooooo...'Guinnee Hens' with that charming 'spike' and their
'leaf-shape' forms...and so
many splendid Chickens...Geese and Ducks and Swans even...
I have some Pidgeon 'peepers' in the eves here...momma looks
out form the edge under the soffet and bends an eye to me if
I stand below...I tell her, "Take a break sweeite!" and I
put some seeds down...sometimes she does 'take a
break'...comes down and eats, stretches her legs...them
peepers can be a lot of work...soon they will weigh more
than her...if not already.
Well...when I have moved I will have some, pooping from the
rafters and so on...send away for
some of them Chee-kin 'peepers' and watch 'em
grow...allthough I no longer eat 'eggs',
and I would never eat "them"...so I would likely end up 'in'
the Chicken Business myself before long if I weren't
careful...
Maybe I could start a 'Home for the Elderly' of Altracous
foul?
Less replications that way?...but too, not many candidates
in
the offing I would suppose...
Although some of the Swans if memory serve, abide well, into
way over the Century mark...
Oh golly...that inspired me...
I love Birds...
Oh! "Clay"...nice little web-site, some cool Work on it
too...!
Good for you! Good Going...
Yea Toledo!
Yea Kelly!
Yours...!
Phil
With one (1) Pigeon in the Office these days...as is
fascinated lately with a sketch I drew, as shows one ( 1)
Bird-shape, and one (1) People-shape with an upraised hand.
She was intrigued with it initially with no 'pointing', but
then, I pointed to the bird-shape, then to her...then I
pointed to the people-shape, then to me...she looked at the
shape, then to me...and she seems very interested and
pensive about it since...
And looks brightly anticipatory if I go
over near to where the sketch is...so I am tending to
indulge her with it...otherwise she is a 'grumpy-bird' and
pecks me and gives me 'wing chops' if I have not asked
clearly enough if I may reach into her open door cage to
change her Water or add some Seeds...if I ask clearly, she
merely stands aside, and allows me to do it with no
drama...feining disinterest...or casual tolerance as may
be...and why not...we are both bored...!
in lasvegas...
...sigh...
