May joy and peace surround you

Contentment latch your door

And happiness be with you now

And bless you evermore

May your troubles be less

And your blessings be more

And nothing but happiness

Come through your door

I saw this bright orange flower one time at a garden center. It’s called the Mexican Bird of Paradise. Pretty exotic looking with ruffly petals.

SOCS – Chickens & Eggs

SOCS – Chickens & Eggs

 

For Linda’s challenge:

 

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS June 29, 2024

***

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “chicken or egg.” Use the “which came first” conundrum in your post, whether about the chicken and the egg or about a real-life situation that fits the question. Or just talk about chickens and eggs! Enjoy!

***

Who really knows which came first, the chicken or the egg? Who really knows why the chicken crossed the road? Why are chickens so funny?

I think chickens are funny. Some are funny looking, and some do funny things, and sound funny, too. I smile when I see a chicken, either real or a toy one.

Here’s some things about chickens my cousin raises, plus some photos of chickens and eggs.

My cousin, Mike, raises exotic chickens.

He pretty much makes pets of them all, and collects their eggs to sell.

The first photo shows a large black & white chicken with an elaborate all black feathery head-dress. He calls this one Silver. I think it is a Polish Silver breed of chicken.

The next photo is Mike holding Silver.

The next photo is another kind of chicken he is holding. He calls this one Houdie. Could be because it is a breed of chicken called Houdan.  It is a large black and white chicken, with it’s head-dress of feathers of black & white.

Very cool chickens! 🙂
