Back when I first got chickens, I thought they were the most fascinating things. I would sit and watch them, listen to their sounds, laugh at them chasing each other with bugs, and watch their personalities. Now they're just chickens, they're absorbed and lumped in as another normal part of every day, hectic life. I remind myself to sit with my chickens, to appreciate those everyday things that have lost that fresh and exciting vibe; the way they coo when I pet them, the way they follow me through the garden, eating bugs to produce eggs for us. They're a reminder to appreciate so much more, and that we're so fortunate to be where we are in life, that we own our home, we own our cars, we've learned how to be healthy and consider what we eat. Everyday things get overlooked and aren't appreciated the same way as when they were "new." Today I sat with my chickens. I witnessed, patiently, Zelda pop out an egg. I looked at my promising garden bed, and I worked on clearing it up knowing what it will bring me soon. I appreciated what surrounded me. Today was a good day. 🐓💚🌱 #urbanfarm #urbanfarming #urbanchickens #urbangardening #backyardchickens #blessed #appreciate #itsthelittlethings #lifestylechoices #mypetchicken #mixedflock #fresheggs #farmfresheggs #patience #girlswhogrow #sitwithchickens #chickens #chickenlover #chickensofig #chickenshenanigans #silkie #silkiechicken #silkiesofinstagram #sundayfunday #soakupthesun #upstateny #farmlife #cityfarm #rochester #mylife
