You should upload that to the caption contest. I already know a perfect caption.

"It's 24 F! Run inside!"
*notices he's outside*
"My butt is freezing. I should head inside too.

Also, the first photo of the Sussex chicken looking down, I really want that chicken. They look pretty. Everyone's chickens are so pretty, especially Bob's leghorns, so clean and prim and proper. My leghorns are dirty, smelly and Parmesan is really aggressive. They may look clean in the photo but trust me, in real life, they are permanently dirty. So dirty that due to confusion on who is who, I had to change Parmesan's name to Toasted Marshmallow and Mozzarella to Finnegan. But, going forward, I'll just keep their names as is. Cheese isn't that bad, especially when you pair it in certain meals containing chicken, like with chicken parmesan.

I love their names!

Hello Moggy you look very contented.

Yes, it weighs a ton.

My goodness I've stuffed these girls full all day. I'm building them up it's freezing here

I can see why it weighed a ton! It’s a shed!

I rather like these compilations the phone creates for me though they do make me a bit weepy because of the lost friends.

I know they are great - yes make me melancholy too

And I got a bonus shadow chicken as well! Now I can make myself a hot toddy and go back to bed.

Losses hurt me when I see the memories show up on the iPhone compilations. I had some very good hens in those days like children to me.

I would like to think that. I also think maybe a month in one would let her see how good she has it here. A nursing home is not going to let her demand and choose every 5 course meal she wants. She will not be allowed to eat everything she wants, when she wants no matter how big of a fit she throws if you say no. I actually feel bad in a way for the staff when she goes to one. She fights with you over taking her medicine. Fights with you when you help her get a bath, half the time flat out refusing. They will not let that happen. I cannot tell you the times have been halfway through fixing her and the family a meal and she decide she does not want that. She will call what you are making crap, say she is not eating it she wants something else. If you do not fix it she will go off, and at times throw things. She is breaking us down. My brother actively avoids her for the most part. He has a temper and is deathly afraid he is going to say something to her he cannot take back. He is her favorite grandchild, and had a very close relationship with her. He does not recognize her anymore. My dad, he wants to say something to her but stays out of it at mom's request. Instead, he hides when he is home, with the horses.

That is not healthy for anyone. Maybe it is time for a nursing home? Hard as that may be - it might be better for all involved.

I am not doing anything - the phone does it all by itself! If you go to your photos there is a thing at the bottom where it has library and albums. It says 'For You'. And inside there are things called Memories.
The memories are all compilations set to music. And what I have now discovered is that the more of them you look at, the more the phone creates.
I only had 2 Chicken ones when I discovered them earlier - now there are 5!
It is a bit weird because I have no say on selection of photos or the music - but actually they end up being pretty good!

Yes I see more now also!! Awesome!
