This is kinda one of those “spur of the moment” posts. It’s cloudy and a bit chilly…. with large patches of snow adding to the coolness of the image out the ol’ schoolhouse windows. I’m still in comfy clothes… from last night… because I fell asleep on the couch after watching the first scary movie… alone… in said schoolhouse… since Kateri passed away (“The Silence”. At least it wasn’t a ghost/paranormal/psychological sorta movie. And… I survived!). I actually woke up at 6 something, but was comfortable enough and warm enough, so I just decided to stay horizontal… till 9:13!… (a.m.)… and not trudge upstairs. It’s been one of those slow moving/Tupelo Honey on the radio types of mornings… and it feels good. The coffee tastes nice, dark, and strong… and I’ve already gotten to have a nice visit with a friend from down the road. I even got to pull out power tools!… and use them in my front yard while still in those comfy clothes… with the addition of rubber boots! It was literally just replacing a couple of straps… but some people… well I… will take any opportunity to fix something using tools.
Basically, I’ve enjoyed the morning. I’ve actually enjoyed the last couple of days. Last night, when I got home, I let the chickens out so that they could stretch their legs and remember what scratching in the grass and leaves from last fall feels like. I also learned that we all have a little slow motion option on our phones!… yup. As I’m going through life learning about what makes me happy, what doesn’t, and everything in between… I thought, “A slow motion video of Lil’ Bitch, Chicken, Chicken, and Chicken running to me might make me happy?!… and it did. Soooo…..

Not a scared movie fan, but glad you enjoyed it. The video made me happy, too. It’s the little things in life that bring the greatest joy.

The chickens are a huge attachment to Kateri for me. I liked that making a little video of them added to that attachment because Kateri LOVED to watch her chickens running… and WOULD’VE loved to watch them running in slow motion! I can hear her laugh now!… and I guess that’s one way I keep her in my life.

I think it is a beautiful way to remember happy moments. They are quite comical and have quite a large stride.

Absolutely love this, Chickens can really warm the heart and entertain you as well. Kateri would have loved this video and probably did some narrating as well

I literally laughed out loud at your chicken video. So glad you and Kateri enjoyed these creatures. The slow motion makes a story of its own. For some silly reason I imagined them as actors in a scary movie where they were giants taking over the world. I know a silly thought.
