Verde Farm Chicken Picks

Well, it’s been quite the week around here. We’ve had a little revolt, if you will, coming from the chicken house. They’ve been hearing farmer talk about our website and how we had shared some of their stories and beautiful pictures with our farm friends and they got really excited. Then things took a turn toward the dark side. The farm council had a meeting and representative Rooster Frank stood up and asked for the floor. "The chickens have been discussing the Verde Farm website and they feel if  Mr and Mrs Farmer are writing about them and using their images from time to time they ought to have a part in it too,” Frank said. 

Chief Councilman Otis, from the donkey branch, said he didn’t have any interest in such affairs and Councilman Burdock from the sheep weighed in and agreed. “We don’t want to spend our time reading and writing on that blog." I think the Farmer’s do just fine others chimed in. However, Frank persisted and the hen house erupted with support.

Well, long story short, the council passed a special motion giving the chickens their own post on the Verde Farm website. The motion passed unanimously seeing as how the other animals didn’t care one way or the other. So after a long night of chicken scratchings for a proposal to Richie and me, they presented us with "Verde Farm Chicken Picks” just as the sun came up this morning.

The idea is every so often our chickens will pick a few farm friend posts they really like and want to make sure get shared with the blog readers. This gives them a chance to let the farm followers know which posts made them lay an egg or do a chicken dance. How could we refuse? Our little chickens wanting to get involved warmed our hearts so here we have it friends, without further cock-a-doodle-doo, the inaugural “Verde Farm Chicken Picks.”

Sunny D Light’s pick is Lilac Lane Cottage’s post on picking a new color for their house. Maura, who lives in windy Kansas, has a beautiful farm abundant in lilac bushes you can almost smell from the pictures, a beautiful dog named Shep and a few chickens too. This week she posted about her need to find just the right paint color for her beautiful cottage, despite some challenges she faces with lighter colors. Sunny recommends yellow, of course, but maybe you have just the suggestion Maura needs.

Charlotte’s pick was Corgis in My Garden, another great blog written by Sharon, who lives in Virginia. Sharon’s post on her beautiful doll house caught Charlotte’s eye this week as she was thinking it may be a new home for her. We definitely agree that Sharon has captured every little girl’s dream with this doll house. You won’t want to miss her little details like the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls on the bed.

Plato’s Pick was From Beyond My Kitchen Window and he said this was an easy decision on his part. They have an old tool shed and are considering turning it into a chicken coop so they get fresh eggs this year. All the coop agreed this was a no brainer but we think some peer pressure is in order folks.

So, we sure hope you enjoy checking out the picks from the coop and give them a good ole rooster crow if you do. Until next time...
