Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[piglett]

A funny thing happened on the way to the circus....


This morning Lillian was greeted with a series of requests. including taking photos of the 30 mulberry cuttings we set 3 months ago.

I was informed that some had died because a baby goat ate them.

I asked how many died

Twenty nine

I got a little upset.

I was not abusive, threatening or mean. I just asked if she cares.

She submitted her resignation. Her last day will be Good Friday.

Dodong and Ariel wish to continue.

She will be missed and we wish her well in future endeavors.

atleast she gave some notice
