November 23, 2012: Chicken Visitors

Before Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday at my sisters, Jill, Ben, Laura and Judy all wanted to walk down to our house to meet the girls.  Karen and John only live 8 doors from us.  It was a truly beautiful late afternoon, with fall colors just bursting with vibrancy. 

When we got home the girls had already gone into the coop though it was not even close to dark yet.  It had gotten chilly so they may have cooped to be warmer.  Both girls performed beautifully by letting us pick them right up and making those sweet little chicken sounds.
Laura took some great pictures of the girls, then we headed back to Karen's house for a wonderful dinner, lots of laughing and sharing of stories.
We also talked to Cal's son Kevin in London.  He and his wife Katya host a dinner on Thanksgiving for all their American friends living there.  Kevin had baked the turkey and our granddaughters Lydia and Mila had performed Swan Lake for the guests.
Then we talked to Cal's daughter Kristine in New Mexico with he husband Rob and his family.  His nieces were playing with the 200 hundred chickens they have on their ranch. 
Then we called Carl, Cal's brother, who has a small farm in Michigan.  Guess what, he also has chickens, but he reports that his chickens do not climb up on his lap, or eat out of his hand like ours do.  We dazzled him with stories of our pet chickens.
It was a wonderful chicken -filled day.  We had ham.
