"Dust If You Must"

8/3/2023

 
Picture
“Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;
Music to hear, and books to read;
Friends to cherish, and life to lead.
 
Dust if you must, but the world’s out there
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,
This day will not come around again.
 
Dust if you must, but bear in mind,
Old age will come and it’s not kind.
And when you go (and go you must)
You, yourself, will make more dust.”
 
Here go the young  puppies, swimming rivers and climbing mountains, no time to get clean 😊

Last Night I Dreamed of Chickens

11/26/2020

 
Picture
"Last night I dreamed of chickens,
there were chickens everywhere,
they were standing on my stomach,
they were nesting in my hair,
they were pecking at my pillow,
they were hopping on my head,
they were ruffling up their feathers
as they raced about my bed.

They were on the chairs and tables,
they were on the chandeliers,
they were roosting in the corners,
they were clucking in my ears,
there were chickens, chickens, chickens
for as far as I could see...
when I woke today, I noticed
there were eggs on top of me."

-- the poem "Last Night I Dreamed of Chickens" by Jack Prelutsky, From the book "Something BIG Has Been Here"

Sowing and watching things grow

6/17/2020

 
Picture
"Sowin' things an' growin' things, an' watchin' of 'em grow;
That's the game," my father said, an' father ought to know."


With sowing done for the winter, we praise the rains and watch our oats grow. Not letting the chickens near that paddock now, but they have done the fertilizing bit well.

From the book "Backblock Ballads and Later Verses", Wheat by C. J. Dennis

Serenade to our beloved

1/18/2019

 
A serenade is a piece of music sung or played in the open air, typically by a man, to his beloved chickens. 😃

Here is our wonderful Ifu's serenade to the chickens.

NB to all skeptics: chickens have excellent hearing, which does not deteriorate with age. As they are very low in the food chain, they need to be able to hear predators early.

Robert Frost, the chicken farmer

6/28/2018

Picture
It is a fact rarely acknowledged that Robert Frost, the poet, was a poultry farmer.

During the day, he did what we all do: collect eggs, repair caravans, and take in the scenery.

At night, he wrote poetry.

It might be the view of hilltops (like this one) that inspired some the wonderful Nature imagery in Frost's poems.

"I am excited about chickens", says Bill Gates. So are we!

Food for thought in Bill Gates's article on how chickens can solve the world's problems by eliminating malnutrition, empowering women and raising people out of poverty.
