I live with the chickens
I spend all my time with the Ritzy Chicks, I can't stop giving them mulch, digging for worms to throw into their pen, or just sitting in my chair watching them. I have planted flowers in their window boxes, and put hay in their nesting boxes. Nate bought a piece of farm equipment this past week and when it was delivered the man that we bought it from turned to me and asked me "now what do you want, now that he has got his toy?" I told him, "I just got chickens." He turned to Nate with an impressed look on his face and said "you got it made, she's an easy one." He didn't even have to butter me up, I already liked him when a couple of weeks ago we went to his place out in the country in NC and during the conversation found out that we had been together over 20 years. He took off his hat, looked at me square in the face and said, "I swear you don't look older than thirty." I smiled real big and said, "thank you, but your getting up there and your eyesight is fadin, I'm 42. He said, "I dun got my eyes fixed with that laser, nothin wrong with them." "You both both don't look that old." He pointed at Nate and said, "I wouldn't put you past 35, and you,(pointing to me) past a day older than my own daughter and she is 30." My grin got huge, both feet came off the ground, my fist went up, and I double pumped them before I hit the ground. I lowered my sunglasses, looked him and his friend square in the eye and said, "we'll take that tractor and anything else you selling today." Then I floated back to the motorcycle, put my jacket on, got behind my old man and said, "Not a day older than 30, humph!" Nate had to call him today and ask him something about the tractor and I heard him say, "Nope, I came home and she was watching her chickens, now she is out there throwing stuff to them." He got off the phone and told me the guy had asked him if I had thought of anything I wanted yet. I looked at Nate, humphed, and said, "I'm happy with my chickens, and NOT A DAY OLDER THAN 30!
