It's so very comforting, like having a bedtime story to see us through the night. Yes, there will be death (like when one of your girls passed away) and tornadoes, but your take on everything assures us all will be well eventually.

Now we here in Kansas get tornado warnings all the time but this has been one strange spring to say the least. I'm so glad your area was missed and that you and all your critters are ok. Your little Lucy is a real sweetheart and same with Marky. Your post was wonderful...made me laugh despite the fact you were hunkering down waiting for a tornado to hit. Stay safe and have a wonderful Friday!<br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294106768431510384.post-43247423999266704712011-06-02T18:41:28.311-04:002011-06-02T18:41:28.311-04:00Whew!

I do not live in tornado country and I am rather glad. I think I would have had all the chickens in the basement. Lucy looks as though she very much approved of the Eggs sign and Marky was a gentleman. I have worse case scenario syndrome and would have had a years supply with me in the basement! Not sure about the Poptarts though. I wondered how Sarah the chicken texted and wrestled with the relevance mentally, until I realised Sarah must be your daughter, doh! xxxIntheskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872933009509406305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294106768431510384.post-20238048615863418102011-06-02T16:07:03.706-04:002011-06-02T16:07:03.706-04:00So glad to know you are all OK.

I'm so happy it ended well. I had to smile when I read you used a medical bill as a poop shield :) Marky is adorable and has very nice chicken manners - well except for the butt sniff, but there are some temptations just too great for a pup......<br /><br />LOVE the egg sign.
