Chickens

Here are the girls in early July. We are down two. Now we have 10. We did get two free though, so that is some consolation. We got our lesson in naming food. Not a good idea. We were sad Mama Fluff-ruffle got eaten. She was an Americana with distinctive markings. The Australorpe is hard to distinguish from the others and had no name and so we were not as sad.......   No more naming work animals!  A weasel got in and ate two of them. Our two "defender" chicks got it, I imagine they were protecting the rest. Someone will have to take over. They are getting so big and feathery..........hoping for eggs in a few weeks.

Keep on the Sunny Side

The Whites - Keep on the Sunny Side
(Depression Era song)

There's a dark & a troubled side of life
There's a bright, there's a sunny side, too
Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view

[cho:] Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

The storm and its fury broke today,
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear;
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear.
Let us greet with the song of hope each day
Tho' the moment be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour away
Who keepeth everyone in His care
