Words to live by

All I Need To Know I Learned From My Hens

By Michaele Oleson


Wake up early, stay busy,
Rest when you need to, but always stay alert.
Visit your favorite places each day.
Scratch out a living.
Routine is good.
Plump is good.
Don't ponder your purpose in life - your brain is too small.
Accept the pecking order and know your enemies.
Weed your garden.
Protect your children fiercely- Sit on them if you need to.- Take them for walks,
show them the little things and talk constantly.
Make a nice nest. - Share it with friends.
Brag on your accomplishments.
Protect your nest egg.
Test your wings once in a while.
Squawk when necessary.
As you age, demand respect.
Leave a little something for those who care about you.

Chase butterflies.
