But she’s 16 years old, slow, and deaf as a post, so it’s hard to hold it against her. Especially since she looks so cute when she’s napping.

Is There An Exorcist In The House?
Seaford, Delaware
OK, so I deleted most of them because they were blurry, but I kept this one because it was funny – almost all the motion is isolated in his head, so it looks like he’s either headbanging or possessed.
Chickens
Seaford, Delaware
One night, I made an idle wish on Twitter. I wished I was friends with more farmers, because I was frustrated that most of my farm photos were taken from the roadside. Lo and behold, there was a farmer’s daugher following me, and she invited me to come out to the farm sometime! As it turned out, the day we chose thanks to the pleasant weather forecast turned out to have torrential rains, so these are taken inside the chicken house, which is why they’re so dark. I took about 40, deleted more than half, and these are the best of what was left, although some do have considerable blur – the chickens were a little anxious over having a stranger amongst them, and they never really stopped moving. I’ll be back to try again some sunnier day.
Oh, and come to find out those silkies, the white puffy ones, the weirdest chickens I’ve ever seen? My husband used to have some years ago. Go figure.
And speaking of chickens, I’ve been keeping an eye out for a place to pick up 2-3 Delaware Blue Hen chicks next spring. Have you seen any? :)
