As usual Mr. I was giving me a hand as I was making dinner earlier this evening. The calls himself “The Cooker Man”. He was so darn cute and enthusiatic about shucking corn. I ran to get my camera to snap one of him working hard. It looked great as I viewed it on the display. I thought I would send it along to the grandparents who are far away. Later I opened the image on the computer and noticed Miss Chickie in the background. Again…posing for a photo. She never misses an opportunity. I cracked up, it looked perfectly posed to me.
She is on her own now since her friend sadly departed the farm about a month ago. Now I am her buddy. She knows my car and comes running and flapping when I pull in. She also finds me when I am in the garden. I look up and there she is in the shade, contently watching me work. The other day…. and I am not kidding you, I was in the office working and I turned around and there she was…in the house. One of the kids had left the door open and she let herself in and found me. It was not very long until Rufio the dog woke and escorted her out of the house. I think I mentioned in a previous post that he is on chicken patrol and takes his security job seriously. As for the chicken, I honestly think she would have roosted on the back of my chair for the afternoon if she could have.
We are getting her some feathered friends this next week. I will be sure to post some photos when they arrive. It will be nice to have more than 1 egg a day again!

Great photo op for “Friday’! (I think that is her name…) Maybe she wanted the corn? Baby is a cutie-pa-tootie, too!
Hi Karen! She definitely wanted the corn and got her share when we were done! That cutie is my #4….my little man. My love and daily entertainment.
This photo is SO cute!!!!!
I noticed Miss Chickie right away:)
what a classic shot! Brings back memories of husking corn on my grandmother’s porch.
