Lesson 932 – Home again

That tricky elf in a coop has finally gone back into his box (along with our Christmas Chicken) where I assure you he will be kept safe until next year.

Our flock

For now, we are enjoying the fact that all of our chicks have returned home and that our nest is full once again.

Oh I know that as a mama hen, it’s my job to push out my little ones when the time is right, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t miss them and greatly enjoy their company when they come back to visit.

So good to see you, so very good to see you – sit down and tell me how you’ve been.

And come back they have with a roar, the kids haven’t all been together since last August. That’s a long time when you’ve grown up in a flock that has lived, worked, and tumbled around together.

Lesson 931 – Elf in a coop – December 24

The chickens were nestled all snug in their coop…

No, wait, when you have chickens, there’s really only one word that rhymes with coop and I’m not going to go there today.

Instead, Eeehiyo and Carol are going to leave homemade Suet (yum) cookies and fresh water by the henhouse with care in hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.

Lesson 930 – Elf in a coop – December 23

Tomie dePaola who lives in New London, New Hampshire, with his Airedale terrier, Brontë, and who works in a renovated 200-year-old barn is definitely one of New Hampshire’s finest treasures. And while it’s not a chicken, Eeehiyo and Carol enjoy riding a Dove of Peace tree topper designed by Tomie (complete with his tiny signature heart by his name.)

What on earth is Eeehiyo and Carol doing? Why they are hanging out with four calling birds. It’s all the rage this time of year.

Eeehiyo and Carol are ready to deliver the girls’ Christmas letter to the North Pole. What are they asking for from Santa this year? Good food, a warm place to sleep, and friends who will keep close when times get dark.

Lesson 927 – Elf in a coop – December 20

Elf in a coop

When an Elf in a Coop and his Christmas chicken, Carol, live in New Hampshire, he knows that one decorates for the holidays as any Granite Stater would. And that’s exactly why Eeehiyo and Carol have an ice wreath for the flock.
