yesterday
all of my livestock went to live
with a very nice red-haired farmer
who knows what the fuck he is doing
& isn’t just winging it
like some kind of off-kilter homesteading maniac…
i think i learned
many many things
from my livestock experiment
(not to be confused with my motherhood experiment)
although some of what i learned
is very similar to my motherhood
experiment…
yesterday
my yard emptied out
no more ducks…chickens…goats…or sheep
just the turkey stands alone
and i feel
a lot
sad
but also
a little
relieved.
i’m telling the minions…it’s a new chapter…a new episode of our lives. change is not necessarily a bad thing. change can be good. really really good.
but it’s still sad.
meanwhile, i have gotten a little done over on my patreon page.
and a birthday card & a patron card
I really dig the fox!

aw, poor turkey. Why is he, specifically, the only creature that you kept?

my 10 year old is extremely attached to him. he is a pet. i’m not sure what we will do…if he didn’t gobble so loudly, we might be able to hide him in a backyard. he’s old for his breed & doesn’t get around very well. i’m not sure he will still be alive by the time we move. it might be moot.

Hehe. You should make your ten year old keep it in his bedroom 😉

every time hamlet (the turkey) hears a loud noise–he answers it with his gobble. i think indoors might be more than i can handle. as it is, he will sit under an open window & gobble at the radio if all else is quiet–driving me crazy.
