Play the song this time as you read....

Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round
Still come back to you (still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the first one when things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend, oh

Speaking of that...how does Lily seem to be doing? I know they try to hide things...but is she 'mingling' with anyone?

Lovely photo, synchronized pecking and everything! They look very lovely next to each other, as well - something about the contrast in colours!

Hugs for Bob. I'm sure that additional photos will do that, too. May you remember the love more than the loss.

I love those two photos of them together.

So, I see lots of 'motion' and avoidance, but it wasn't too brutal. Just Aurora determining where everyone could roost but Lilly. How long did all of this take to 'sort out' final roosting spots?

And, I know this is a bit off topic, but the back right corner of the coop's roof looks really dark. Is there perhaps a leak, or is it just an odd variation in the plywood?

You are very perceptive. When the wind drives rain hard from the west/northwest the rain works its way through. It's been building up over the years and I need to address it. It should be ok until spring unless it is very warm and rains instead of snows all winter.

 

[BY Bob]

It is strange - her goal seems to be to disrupt everyone else - it isn't like they have something she wants, she just doesn't want them to be happy!
That is like Maggie climbing up to scatter the Roadrunners only to climb back down and sleep elsewhere.
I assume it is a form of enforcing a dominant position. "I will make you move because I can"

I believe you are right. She sure is busy at roosting time.

 

[BY Bob]

I love those two photos of them together.

I know it is one of the two ways in which I will always remember her.

Such a very special tribute (well thought out) I enjoyed it, but made me feel sad.
