Five Day Count Down

Today's surprise treat:  Linda M brought this totally thoughtful gift to my room this afternoon..A  yard of pristine feedsack from her family stash in Nebraska.. I just love it... Did I mention how much I love it...A perfect treat for me:


My dear daughter and her family has gone completely nuts about their new chickens.  Voila:  Bok Bok sitting on my girl's lap in the family living room...Dear me!!  A Barred Rock....

Em got hereself some chicken buttons!!!!
Aoife loving on Bok Bok
Mango here is a Buff Orpington.
Who would have known seven pet chickens would make dear Rosie, the dog jealous.
Our Aoife is quite the picture ham....

Now...five days until Monday ....Cinco de Mayo....my mother's birthday  AND my new hip operation.
I am nervous, but anticipating the eventual relief of this awful hip pain and maybe being able to lift my leg up into a car or into my bed without pain...  I am surrounded by love and encouragement.

PS:  OMG  Now there is a chicken in a quilt..

Chicken love is great fun. We would sit in chairs and just watch them! Being able to hold them is very dear and not easy unless you do what your family is doing. Lots of love; holding and letting them eat out of your hands. It's lovely way to teach children about our innate connection to others besides humans! Gorgeous feedsack fabric and best wishes for a successful surgery. It's a miracle of modern medicine .. .one hip at a time. Theyll ask a lot of you right off. Just do your best and you'll be on the road to recovery in no time! Hugs hugs!
