Happy Day on the farm

I high-tailed myself out of town today to my friends’ farm in Beth Page. It’s a bit of a hike but worth the trip. I saw two beautiful blue birds and was told that they were called Indigo Bunting. I like the Indigo part but where did ‘they’ get the Bunting? Beautiful little birds. I also saw a small hawk sitting in a tree. Very pleasing to me.They have two plump pygmy goats which live adjacent to the their spoiled rotten and opinionated chickens. The goats are very talkative and answer every call you may give them. So sweet!. One of the chickens when she is picked up makes these adorable, happy chicken sounds that elicit the most tender response in the hearer.

It was a great day. Everything was so green and the absence the noises of industry marvelous. The only thing that broke the tranquility were the sounds of rapid fire gunshots – the telltale indicators of redneck males in the neighborhood.

I don’t have to be anything or anyone special when I visit there – I just chill. It feels good.
