Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[notabitail]

Yep teehee! ~ Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven, Haydn, the Bach's, Handel, Schubert, moody Chopin, military Strauss, etc etc etc etc etc since 1950's. Hearing Elvis & The Beatles turned me off to rock/pop stuff.

It's not that there isn't talent or an occasional good voice in modern tunes but there's something about classical that even the hens love! Modern Day John Williams' compositions are worth my ear.

We often play soft classical for sick or isolated hens.

I love classical music. I have a whole collection of CDs from thrift stores.

I buy jeans from thrift stores. I don’t worry about the size. If they fit it’s great. If they don’t fit I give them to the homeless community.

Sad thing is the Goodwill has turned into Greedwill here. They no longer sell clothes for a reasonable price.

I love my little George and he is perfect.

Seriously though, it is photo's like this that make me go outside and yell at him "WHY?" Your grandma and mother are frizzles. Why George, Why?

Again, he is perfect in every way. He can fly, no special care to keep him warm. Just.......every now and then Why?

Here are some pictures of the girls adventure from yesterday. AKA The Summiting of Mt. Small Hill

Gytha showed off her powerful legs on that steep incline!

Nearly 1/4 of the way there!

Aliss and Magrat stopped frequently for snack breaks.

Is that a seed?

What's that? A bug?

Guess not. Better keep looking...

I think they got a little sidetracked... But who's that up at the summit?!

Gytha, the no nonsense type, made it to the top!

I just love spending time with my feathered friends. I can bring them in whenever I want. Lately, I have been entertaining my roosters, and the Rockettes. They always make good company for me.

@BY Bob and @SimpleJenn, @Pastel the Rooster said she is sorry to hear about the loss of choobs and that she is sending hugs and prayers.

I only shop at small/local thrift stores now. Goodwill is bad for a lot of reasons, the only reason I ever shopped there was because of their low prices. They've gone way up here now, too
