I've been putting off mowing the lawn but decided tonight it had to be done. Although I have always considered this to be a job, the chickens seemed to be saying “The big chicken mom is on the salad shooter again! It's going to be a salad shootin bug-o-rama night tonight!” You should have seen it, chickens doing pirouettes in the evening sky retrieving lawn moths, running, wings out from one glorious spot to another! The truth is, what means one thing to you may mean something entirely different to another.
Really, I have been surprise by my chickens! To observe simple instinct and personality is more amusing than I had expected, it has slowed me to a pause. We as humans move quickly through life, we have no patients for inconvenience. I work with children who have disabilities, they may be considered inconvenient to some, but I love them, every one regardless of their abilities or lack there of. I have in some ways been their student. I have been taught to wait. This is a gift they have given to me. If not for this long training period I may never have been able to simply walk down the hill into the chicken zone to enjoy the simple pleasure of laughing openly sitting on my butt in the grass mobbed by chickens.
