MJ's little flock

Yes, she was a very accomplished photographic model. Not in Phyllis's league ("Vogue Chicken" covers), more like "Woolworths Autumn Chickenwear Catalogue"

This is hilarious! You have such a way with words, you and @Kris5902!

I think there is a little landscape designer in you looking to bust out.

There's not much new left to do in my garden. I'm itching for a project!

Oooh. ACM can help me design my chicken garden. I am struggling to fully get it in my head.

Any time RC. Photos of the proposed area would be good.
You could even start a "Chicken Garden" thread and we could all pitch in.

I think she'd be extremely good at it!

Thank you MJ. Also thank you for letting me suggest garden things for you. I've not enough room left in mine!

 

[Aussie-Chookmum]

That would be so pretty!

It's lovely when the leaves change colour in Autumn provided that you don't look down. The chooks have helpfully dug up all the mulch so it is just dirt and sticks everywhere.

I am going to owe a lot of chicken tax on this one.

The Irish & Britons & Scotti all practised religious rites involving water. So you will find swords, daggers, shields, torcs broken & put in water as sacrifices to their god/esses. Sometimes you will find bodies, like the most famous Lindow Man. As areas dry they become bogs rather than lakes or pools or rivers. I can't give you the exact science but the minerals & salts tan the skin & preserve the bodies.

Lindow Man was probably a human sacrifice: young, well groomed, well fed, healthy [possibly a druid]. The contents of his stomach contained a burnt porridge mix. His hair had been trimmed with scissors. He suffered the 3`fold death [hence why he is considered a sacrifice].

You can look him up on~line & a famous Celtic scholar has written a whole book on what was discovered about him. It is interesting reading if you aren't too squeamish.

I love bog bodies. ...Well, that came out sounding rather gruesome.

I mean, along with the Ice Man and the Andean mummies, they are so well preserved that we can learn such a lot from them about what everyday life was like for the people then. It is a window to the past.
