Thankful Thursday



Thankful this Thursday for life in the slow lane.  About two minutes from my own farmette, I had to stop and let several chickens cross the road.  This little thing was the last to make it, and she was in no hurry.  Her owner has many chickens in various states of growth.  They all cluck around the yard, eat grubs in the garden, and co-exist with two terriers.  Quite a feat, I think.  

What are you thankful for this Thursday?  
Give it a shout out!!

      Tanya, when you live the rural life you never know what will cross the road!

    That is quite a feat especially with terriers. Wonder what they think about the chickens/

      Lea, we had some not too long ago. They died of old age. I do think I need some more!

    I'm thankful for my walks that I take every day. It's funny that the first thing that comes to mind when we see this chicken crossing the road is why is this happening. The poor chicken just wants to go home just like us all at the end of our day.
    Have a wonderful day Michelle.

    There is that never ending question that Rick asked; why DID the chicken cross the road??

    I have lots of things to be thankful, for including the friends I have met over the years while blogging.

    Isn't it nice to be able to slow down and let her pass on across! I love life when it is a bit slowed down...

    I love that photo. She looks like a hen with a yen for travel! I'm thankful for the turtle that didn't get smoothed on the road this morning but make it across safely.

    I am always amazed at the way Canada Geese cross the road in a leisurely fashion, stopping the traffic, and herding their youngsters along. I have only ever seen one road kill so it obviously works for them.

    Thankful first that you stopped and let the chick/chicks pass.
    And selfishly, for right now, . . . my really thick book!
