Is it dinnertime?

This was taken a few minutes ago.. I noticed how cold it turned and saw the chickens out back, I went to gather  any eggs and they followed me back to the Picnic Table as if to say" Is it dinner time?"  afterall, "we gave you 4 jumbo eggs." I hurried inside and made a cuppa noodles for them..When I went back to give them the goodies they were  onthe table.. They Love pasta of any kind and I think that it warmed them up... they jumped down off the table and gobbled up the warm pasta.. warmed my heart too...I am such a softie...

Can we talk?

"Really, Mom , We need to talk.... I do have something to say & I just want you to know..... I know you don't understand everything I have to say even though you think you do... Like when I go stand by the back door  or the window watching the birds... I just want to play with them, but you are so parinoid that I will catch a quail again... Sheesh! I got in big trouble for that twice, I sure wouldn't go out & do that again....Come on.. Just look into my eyes & tell me "No".   (I wanna go to the store with you, or wherever you are going &  I know you are going somewhere cuz you put on our coat)....and .....well lets face it ... If you do say no I will go ask Dad... and he always says yes...  unless he tells me I need to stay home & babysit the house & chickens.. And btw  what is the going rate these days to babysit? I think more than a pat on the head and a dry doggie cookie.  How about some real "people" food in my bowl?"
