My Sunday's rarely involve chicken chasing. In fact it's been a long time since I've chased a chicken; I'd say 35 years at least. Today though, it seemed like the right thing to do and so I deployed my, quite finely-honed, chicken chasing skills together with my nephew. Fun? You betcha!
Here's a photo of today's chickeny-festivities. You can see my nephew rounding up a bunch of chickens, after being shown how to chicken-wrangle by uncle G-dog. I'll be honest, he was pretty good at it. Something to do with nimble feet and more youthful vision I think. I recall back to my chicken-chasing days as a youth...I'm just not as good at it these days...I'm out of practice!
We went for lunch at a friends place today; We were all there, my brother and sister and our partners, the couple who were hosting us, their daughter and child and her partner. This particular friend has known my family for a long time and we lived in the same street so we are pretty close. He will be one of the pallbearers carrying my dad's casket at his funeral tomorrow. That's how close we are.
We sat around the table, shared food and stories of the old days which was really nice as we heard some good ones about mum and dad that we'd not heard before. There's something special about reminiscing with friends over a meal don't you think?
After lunch we took the kids out to the back yard and let them play around with the ducks, chickens and two turkeys, whilst the adults talked about homesteading, vegetable gardens, fruit trees and stuff like that.
My nephew, only 22 months, was a little scared of the turkeys at first, they were as big as him, but he didn't mind chasing the chickens around...As long as uncle G-dog was there to help...And I was because I got the little kid's back like a good uncle should.
We had a really great day to be honest; One of those cool family days where everyone pitches in to help prepare food, set the table and clean up. One of loud conversations and and lots of laughter. It was a nice way to spend Sunday.
That covers the chicken-chasing aspect of this post...But what about the winning hive part?
