I do agree. That's what I'm trying to do. This is the most persistent hawk I have ever had.

Maybe your hawk needs some antiperspirant?
Oh, you said “persistent “ sorry, my bad

Then there’s Emily. She’s high maintenance (always seems to have a dirty bumm.)
She reminds me of an old lady friend I had once. Blonde and very high maintenance too! (I’m sure glad that Emily doesn’t want fancy cars or high priced dinners)

A Very Special Day

I once attended a meeting where Scott Hamilton, the Olympic skater, was the key note speaker. He told the story of his life and shared painful stories of the rough times that seemed to happen everytime he had achieved another pinnacle of success. It seemed that every time he reached a new high a tragedy would befall him and his family in some way. It made him angry and almost afraid to reach for new goals.

I'll never forget the simple thing he said which changed his entire outlook on life. What he did not realize was that he was viewing it all backwards. He actually had achieved new highs AFTER each tragedy had befallen him and his family. Every new tragedy would then drive him forward and enabled him to achieve even more.

I have found that this philosophy holds true with chickens as well. I once documented the new joy that each chicken tragedy has brought to us. This was very true with the tragedy that was Elphie's death.

Today is the 6th anniversary of Lilly coming to live with us. Of course she brought Patsy with her. So after a day of mourning our loss, we quickly move to celebrating our queen. The following is going to be a huge list of photos of our two rescued ladies. It will be Lilly heavy as now this is really her day.
