The Chicken Whisperer

We're project-ing around here. One thing leads to another and what we have now is a bunch of bare studs trading in their wood paneling for dry wall. Alyssa was a mighty helper today. See below; exhibit A. She was able to find time to help and march in a handful of parades around the house (to the tunes of patriotic music) and make sugar cookies and take care of chickens.

Exhibit A: Alyssa pulling nails out of studs.

Alyssa is also a chicken whisperer. She goes outside and they flock to her. She can pick them up, pet them, feed them, clip their wings. And she does not fear those creepy talons! She declared she wants to be a chicken for Halloween. Erik will be an egg and Taft will be a "hatchling". Erik's costume will be soft so Taft can fit inside. And I will be the coop. Not just any ordinary coop though. An inflatable one! Then the three of them can fit inside!


My heart feels grateful for what we did today and the time we spent together. It was a work filled Saturday that brought joy and laughter. We ended the day eating fried catfish, collard greens, and big fat patriotic sugar cookies! Mmmmmm. What a lovely day with lovely people!
