A GENTLEMAN ROOSTER STRUTS HIS STUFF

SAW THIS GENTLEMAN ROOSTER TODAY STRUTTING HIS STUFF WITH A COUPLE OF HIS LADIES

I was surprised not waking up to a rainy morning but nearby rains did leave us with a heavy overcast.  Undaunted, Pheebs and I did head out anyway to see if we could find a few photos and as it turns out all we got was two chickens and a Rooster in a farmers front yard.

VERY RARE TO SEE FREE RANGING CHICKENS NOWADAYS AND THERE WERE ONLY 3 OF THEM

THE LADIES WERE ENJOYING THEIR OUTING

Our Jeep ride wasn’t a long one but we did manage a stop at the Hullett Marsh where it was my ears and not my eyes that brightened up my day.  With no leaves on our trees yet things were looking pretty gray in the Marsh but from the drab grayness came many sweet sounds.  Although I couldn’t really see the birds I could surely hear them and their tweeting and twittering was most uplifting.  They didn’t seem to care if the sun wasn’t shining, they all sounded happy and how nice to simply stand and quietly listen to the forest’s chorus.  Never even took my cameras out of the Jeep, I just stood and listened.

GETTING READY TO CROW……..AND CROWING

A mixture of afternoon sun and cloud had me in and out of the house.  No big projects today just puttering about in the flower beds.  It was nice to end the day with a slightly subdued smattering of sunshine.

GROANER’S CORNER:((  A man lost two buttons from his shirt and put them in his pants pocket. But the pocket had a hole, so the buttons fell into his shoe. Unfortunately, the shoe sole also had a hole, so he lost the buttons. As pockets with holes, holes without buttons, and shoe soles with holes are useless, the man ripped the buttonholes out of his shirt and the pockets from his pants and tossed them in the trash along with the soles of his shoes.  A police officer who was observing the man asked him for some identification. The man gave the officer a document that showed he was an ordained minister of the gospel. When the officer began to escort him to a mental institution, the minister protested violently, asking why he was receiving such unjust treatment.“Look, we both know it’s the best place for you now,” the officer replied. “Anyone claiming to be a preacher who doesn’t save souls or wear holy clothes has probably lost his buttons.”

  2. Is the gent a Rhode Island red? We had reds at the farm. Loved hearing them crow but if the girls raised up a rival, boy was there trouble. We called it "the rooster wars". Great pics, thanks for the memories.
