simple things -

Its a beautiful day and my chickens have decided to have a bath. A dust bath that is. Chickens tend to search out the softest and fluffiest dirt in the yard and then roll like crazy in it, stirring up little dust storms until they are completely covered. Evidently this keeps the bugs off them and cleans their feathers. Something like a dry shampoo I guess. Anyways I am sitting here in the sun observing little dust devils all around me and laughing at the hens antics. These simple things on a farm are what makes it so nice when you spend the day laughing at hens dusting themselves or calves chasing kittens. ( that was yesterdays antics I watched) I wouldn't trade it for the world. Farm living is fun and funny and fabulous
