I have discovered that I have a little friend amoung my chicken flock. The other day this silkie came and slept in the grass next to me while I sat in the sun. I noticed today that it follows me wherever I go in the yard. So I reached down and it hopped onto my hand and let me lift it up, like a pirate chicken. It stayed there a long time while I walked around. It's so friendly and cute!
Also, I finally "got" some of the math I have been struggling to understand.
