Chicklandia Pop. 0



Well, LeRoy and Louise and their unnamed offspring joined Chloe and Hildegarde in Chicken heaven this week.  I still have not figured out what predator ( fox, snake, raccoon, rat etc.) is taking them all but Leroy was the last to disappear last night and I can't find any evidence of a skuffle. No chicken wire holes, no holes in the ground.  So I will allow myself to think that LeRoy slipped out in the middle of the night and is travelling far and wide, strutting his colorful feathers in search of a female banty.
  Meanwhile,  Isabelle Hen-Again refuses to come back into our yard from the (relative) safety of the next-door neighbors.  She will remain a free chicken.

Happy Independence Day Mom


This is a collage that I made for my Mom shortly after she passed onto to the Great Beyond nearly one year ago (July 6th).
So Independence Day will always symbolize for me the time  that my Mom became free.  In this picture as a child she is standing in front of the Leveque Tower, the background for Red White and Boom the 4th of July celebration in  Columbus every year.
