Taking the day off ...

Fabiola waves hello to all her darling readers!

Fabiola is taking the day off to sit in her easy chair while Mary works.

Traveling Chickens

Rootbeer the Traveling Chicken follows Sister J (and the kids) everywhere they go outside. One day Sister J loaded the kids into the car and was about to drive away from the Tall Small House when "scratch, scratch, scratch" she heard the sound of tiny nails on the floormats in the back seat.

"Is that chicken in the car?" Sister J. asked the kids.
Laughing, the kids replied "what makes you think that?"
"I can hear toenails scratching on the floor" was Sister J's reply.

So Sister J swung around and looked over the back of the front seat.
"Chicken, get out of my car!" Said Sister J to Rootbeer.

Rootbeer (the Traveling chicken ) tried to remain where she was but Sister J (always a determined gal) shooed Rootbeer back out into the yard. Where Rootbeer, no doubt, started planning her next attempt at adventure.

Happy Thoughts - Travel

Like all great travelers,

I have seen more than I remember,

And remember more than I have seen.

Bob the Bird and His New Friends

When we left Bob the Bird, he had been banished outside to the patio (daylight hours only).  Although his friend Henry the dog isn't always with him, Bob has met some new friends. 

Bob the Bird's new friends are Bluebell the Bunny who lives in a cage (mostly, sometimes, well, she has been IN the cage before).  Bob the Bird spends his days in his cage, which sits on top of Bluebell the Bunny's cage.  Bluebell and Bob and their stacked cages are happy outside in the sun.  Then there is Rootbeer the traveling chicken, who sits beside (or on top of) Bob the Bird's cage and makes clucking noises and peers this way and that at Bob the Bird.  Perhaps Rootbeer the traveling chicken is trying to figure out which strange chicken family produced Bob the Bird.  Maybe it isn't that at all.
