Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Cabin fever is contagious

 

[Ponypoor]

I do now understand that bird. As she sat on her perch just staring, my anger grew as I started swearing she stood firm as I walked through the door. All she had to say to me, it was obvious, and right on key…… “never more “

Sorry Edgar,

But the Raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing farther then he uttered—not a feather then he fluttered—
Till I scarcely more than muttered “Other friends have flown before—
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.”
Then the bird said “Nevermore.”

 

[featherhead007]

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

(Sir Edgar Allan Poe - The Raven)

Yep

It was that off-hand comment that shocked me into realizing I needed to do something. Funny how that happened.

Freudian slip! We know more about what we think and need than we realize (or allow ourselves to acknowledge) sometimes.

I am glad you are taking steps to 'correct' this/take care of your mental health!! It is so important.

Babs is back in the nest box (again) and Eli is standing on the threshold belting out the egg song at the top of her lungs.
Bernie is pretending they don’t exist.
Confused!

Sorry Edgar,

You do know you have lots here that are more than happy to 'chat' up a storm like a gaggle of geese - right?

I find Poe to be rather dark... I prefer many of Shakespear's thoughts on happiness and humour, he had a sense of humour in most of his writings... even his dark writings.

"Things won are done; joy's soul lies in the doing.”

Hahaha - sounds like they are getting the hang of 'The Way of the Chicken'

 

[Ponypoor]

So was I.

Yep saw that

I think we need to send Alex a bust - but not just any old bust - but one of Poe - or Shakespeare hahaha - so he can put it out in the Coop and the kiddos can sit on it... he can wax poetic while Jaffar sleeps on his lap

I’m pretty sure that Kelly is going to say something about that to me!
(Bet she goes.. still beating heart on me!)
That’s Shakespeare not Edgar A P .

Oh you! hahaha - behave! You don't need to going down the path to madness - owning chickens is madness!

The raven perches on a ‘bust of Pallas’ which I think means the Goddess Athena.
Do we have any chickens called Athena?
