Remembering my girls
Remembering my girlsAs the summer starts and all the roses have buds on them, I remember all my long gone girls with some sadness. Each one has a rose in my garden, planted when they left. They do bring back fond memories but also some sadness as they were so beautiful, especially my little Rosie who was the last to go. Her rose Sweet Dreams should be in flower soon and then she can come in doors where she always wanted to be.
Love reading about all your chickens and the joy, as well as the worry that they give you. Not forgetting the eggs of course. I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Remembering my girlsThat's a lovely thing to do, AJ - wish we'd thought of that or similar for our girls.
We put Primo and Donna underneath the paving slab where they used to sunbathe, so they could still catch the rays on their side of the Bridge.
Re: Remembering my girlsHi , Memories.
I fortunately have still my flock and some of the things just make me remember past hens . I am so glad I got them all. Bob Re: Remembering my girlsAh June, that's lovely I got little slate plaques made when my first girls started to go but it was getting a bit expensive so now I just write their names on a large pebble and they're under the apple tree as a lovely reminder

We buried ours in the veggie plot, where they loved to poke around. After one year of ruining the garden, we gave them a temporary run, which we moved around the lawn.
Lizzie was from our first three, and the one I loved the most. She was nosey, escaped the first morning we got her, and such a character.
Re: Remembering my girlsWe all remember our girls in different ways. Lovely to know that they were so special that they like people and other pets will always be remembered. Not only do I miss my girls but that part of my life that has gone.
I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Remembering my girlsSuch lovely ways everyone has of remembering their girls (not that they would ever be forgotten). There is a tinge of sadness to this post, but it is also so heartwarming to know that you have all cared for your hens and given them love and fantastic lives.
Re: Remembering my girlsHi , may I add that not only have my flock made a difference to me but most of the street as well .
From running around the front garden to waking them up before light. Bob |
