"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"

I’m going to try your cookie recipe right away. My grandma always used to make an oatmeal/raisin cookie very similar.

On the other hand, have you ever really just given him a good thwak with the broom? Offense, not defense.
Poor mean rooster.

Is he the dominant roo? The one who spends the most time with the hens? When I had two roosters, the dominant rooster wasn’t as aggressive as the secondary one. The second one seemed to have a chip on his shou…errr, wingtip.

..the incarnate juggernaut’…aka ‘mean Roo’, aka yadda,yadda,yadda…..
I must refresh its memory on the second realm of the story or as known, the rest of the story… Seems the “whisper” didn’t set in that ‘cock-eyed’ brain of his…So here goes…..
Remembering… years back.. when my friend and I were coming out of the house. I had sold her a few sterile eggs that she was carrying…..Not even its prodigies!
Up on the hill, over the eight foot fence it flew…down the hill…up the backyard…doing its “cock-of-the walk” thing! Lordy, I had tried to be so nice to it….Shoo, Shooing it so sweetly off the porch! My friends eyes got big as duck eggs, bolting out in horror!…I picked up the double-sided axe leaning against the back porch wall. I gave it a fling just to shoo, shoo it again! That’s when it happened! The heavy end went up and sailed down on the ground with a “thud“…just as he ’strutted’ his “cocky” self away…”Whack,” the wooden end veered over, head and handle met! It had to be divine intervention….not even a ‘big leaguer’ could’ve pitched one like that! I had ‘cold-cocked’ it and he then did a little ‘drunken two-step’ or two or three and flopped over!….My heart fell, my friend yelled, the eggs hailed!….and that’s when you left that life ….to go on to your next one with out even a ‘cluckle‘….
PS….so ‘bird-brain” are you not getting tired of leaving and coming back?..
PS….does a third time (realm) not ‘charm’ you or ring a bell?..
PS….do you really want Suz’ to trim those ’spurs’ for good and yell…“Chicken’s done“?
