LOCAL TREASURES

When I was talking to the owner of Berdine's 5 and Dime the other day she told me about a few more DO NEW places that I shouldn't miss while in Harrisville. I really haven't had the time to check much out in town. I feel like I am always rushing when I get off the farm. It's the internet thing. I need to accomplish so much online at a library or hot spot, reading and answering emails, looking for hosts along my way, paying bills, uploading, updating, and it all eats up time. Forget about researching anything. Traveling into town also eats up gas.

GAS MONEY DONATIONS HAPPILY ACCEPTED

Speaking of eating up, tonight I discovered that chickens are cannibals. I had stripped the rest of the roasted chicken meat off the carcass in the frig to go with my fresh-out-of-the-garden ingredients (I made ratatouille) and Gwen gave the poultry remains to the chickens. They loved it. What little that the chickens had left behind the turkeys pecked at. It reminded me of the book ALIVE which is about the Uruguayan Rugby team that crashed in the Andes - look it up.  I guess there's a little cannibal in all of us. But hey, these chickens have tons of food laying around. Eating one's own species just seemed a bit, what is the word, “creepy” to me.

 

 

Anyway, I made time today on my way back to the farm to stop at the Antique Market that I had been told about at Berdine's. The building goes way back and there's also an upstairs. In the front is the gift shop. I could have spent hours in there. There was so much junk, I mean so many treasures. I shot several photos, deleted most and saved a few for this DO NEWS post. I especially liked the eagle collection. The eagle has been my spirit bird for many, many years. Soy aguila.

NICE, and to finish off this post I am adding this morning's precious cat photos from inside the barn. The farm cats are just so photogenic. I think I need to create a book just about them.

MEOW MEOW AND CHAU 4 NOW.
