Thank you all for complimenting my little bearded Frompkin. My mother has written the first draft of her children's book about her. The story is adorable, but will be a long time until publication. My mother is a photographer/artist who does collages out of photos, so the illustrations will be based on real pictures. I am commissioned with taking a picture of Frompkin roosting -- not an easy feat as it is dark at night in the coop, and flash is rather ugly. I failed to get a good shot tonight but will try again tomorrow evening. So glad I can count on my chooks for sweetness and entertainment in this crazy world.
