Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[bgmathteach]

I'll keep that in mind. Thankfully after Rosie got her Wasabi and Siri she's gotten off the spicy kick. I'm giving them a few more days to come up with a name, although I have one in mind myself. Dad calls Squirrel "Pretty Eyes" if a name is not chosen soon her daughter may end up be called Cleo, short for Cleopatra.

That is my cat's name It's a good one, especially for a 'strong woman (hen)' type

How about Bo-peep? She is peeping our of some mighty fine fluff there? I know that doesn't really go with your hot stuff names going on (Wasabi, etc.), but she is just so darn cute peeping out..that name just jumped out at me!

I have a “Bo-Peep”, she doesn’t like her name. She never comes, when I call her.

.........and with all the sunshine, a little rain must fall so there are flowers

On the morning of April 19, 2022, while I was half a world away and unable to be here for her, Lilly passed from this world.

She was at least 7 years old and the longest lived of any chicken which we have been blessed to care for at Fluffy Butt Acres.

As I sit here in the yard with them today I keep looking to see where she is. Lilly will cast a long shadow. I'm sure in time the tribe will appear normal without her but it is going to take a while for certain.

I'll be burying her in a bit in between Patsy and Sansa. I can think of no better place. I may just plant more phlox over them all as I did with Mal. It's as if Mal knew and sent her flowers to inspire me.

I know that Sansa and Lilly are now together again.

Farewell my friend.

May the sun always be shining and warm
May the dirt always be just right for the perfect dust bath
May the meal worms be plentiful
May there always be young ones to tease and torture
May your favorite nest box always be open when it's your turn to lay
May your coop be dry and warm
May it never snow or be cold
May the Thanksgiving cherry pie be tasty
May the squirrels and ducks be slow
May the grass be young and tender

And most importantly, May your best friend be ever by your side.

For those who would like to relive a tribute to Lilly here is the celebration of her life I did back in November on the anniversary of her coming to live with us. Scott Hamilton's story was much in my mind last week.

Rest in Peace Lilly. Beautiful tribute to her Bob.

Welcome back, it sounds like you had a lovely time. That is a lovely shot of Aurora. It also illustrates just how magnificent her beard is if it is that impressive from behind.

It is a special shot of her beard for certain.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I’m really going to miss Lilly too. She was such a beautiful lady. (In every way)
You did a wonderful tribute to her.

Oh I am soo soo sorry. May the "Iron Beak" rest in peace. I'm sure she is strolling right where she belongs, in between Patsy and Sansa. I do believe it is fate now the Corona's daughter is named Lilly. It cannot be a coincidence that she hatched in the very early morning hours of April 20th. Excuse me while I go brave the ferocity of Baby and hug Little Lilly while the tears subside.

I thought about this and feel that with the news of Lilly's passing I have to ask again. @ BY Bob are you absolutely certain you are ok with me naming the Corona chick Lilly. If it is too painful I completely understand and another name can be found for her.
