Pinhead's Spring Solstice

Yesterday, February 26, Pinhead, our only chicken, not only stepped out of the chicken house when I opened it, but went up onto her special rock on the ridge and sat there in the sun all day, during which I discovered that over the last couple of weeks she had resumed laying eggs and produced a clutch of eight...non-fertile of course, their being no roostes about, not even pheasant cocks, so I brought the eggs to the kitchen...and even she will get back her share. But when it got near sundown, Pinhead was still there on her rock, so I went away and came back later and she was still there. So I got closer, and we had a little talk. I will not repeat here what was said, but you can see that it worked out. And then I went to bed.

Dog's Plot Studio Reveal

You might think that a guy living alone in an big old three wing, fourth generation , fourteen room farm house would not need a separate building for a studio, but I do need such as a resort if I am to get a whirl wind of work done without practical junk and ordinary people things getting in the way. And you are not invited to visit me there, not only because of the Pandemic thing, but really mostly because I want to be alone there; but here you have a virtual visit. It was very very busy here today, busier than the day the pig fell into the well

Pinhead's Tipi

I went down to the chicken house to feed Pinhead, The Chicadees , the Little Brown Jobs, and the Jay birds, stood there still and cold as a snowman for a while , then came back, but its pretty cold yet and I won't be hopping onto my skis real soon, even though there seems to be chocolate coated candy drops all over the snow....rabbits you know. PinHead, the last lonely Chicken, who has chosen NOT to come out of the chicken house to feed or for any other reason, did not even come to the carry-out I had carried out...and brought in to her, but I heard a brief rustling in the corner where a while black I had put some rigid foam panels I need to use there, tied up in an industrial black trash bag, so that the chickens would not eat the foam, because chickens all like to peck and eat those white styro beads, like popcorn, not that it has ever seemed to do them any harm, and anyway the others and she have already put a door in the bag and eaten most of the styrofoam, so now I see she is in the otherwise empty, black bag tipi and she doesn't want to come ouf of her chicken tent right now just fora plate of dried tomato, basmati rice, oat flakes, chicken soup noodles, whole and cracked corn, wild bird mix, cat food sweepings, or the regular layer ration garnish;
