To those of us who have had Halloween rescheduled to this weekend (and now you know that such a thing can be done) and who are getting completely messed up because the stores are displaying Christmas items and playing Holiday music when we STILL haven’t had Halloween…

enjoy the festivities.

Have fun, get buckets of candy, and laugh with your friends – just be safe.

Lesson 429 – Quotable Chicks

Friday’s Quotes for the Chicks 

At first cock-crow the ghosts must go
Back to their quiet graves below.
~Theodosia Garrison

From a home where it is considered a high holy holiday (read free candy), Happy Halloween from our little flock to yours.

(And yes, that’s really snow from this morning in New Hampshire *sigh*, there’s just nothing worse than having to wear your winter coat under your Halloween costume.)

Lesson 415 – Quotable Chicks

Friday’s Quotes for the Chicks 

It takes a long time to grow an old friend. 

John Leonard

Our oldest and most frail member of the flock, Digger is now dying and while we have expected this to happen for awhile, it’s still a shock every time we think of a home without his presence. For now, he’s wrapped up in blankets to ward off the New Hampshire chill while he sleeps.  When we pass by his corner, we stop, pet him, and tell him of our love and how very fortunate we are to have had him in our lives.

Hearts continue to break in New Hampshire.

Friday’s Quotes for the Chicks 

the human flock

I’ve often said that the most important thing you can give your children is wings. Because, you’re not gonna always be able to bring food to the nest.  Sometimes they’re gonna have to be able to fly by themselves.
