a little gift & Sad News....

I'll be listing this little Heart pinkeep,
and a couple of others on ebay within the next few days...

AND... on a sad note,
I went to feed the sheep & chickens this morning,
and found my big-boy rooster, Frank,
had succumbed to the bitter-cold of the recent ice-storm...

poor old man that he was, i guess the cold was too much for him.
we've had him for almost 6 years,
and we don't have a clue as to how old he was
when he came to live with us...

He was a good rooster, never mean at all...
he would let me hold him and cuddle him...
I'm happy that I've saved a bunch of his beautiful,
long irredescent black/blue/green tail feathers...

Now, not to be confused with Little Bit, my little-boy rooster
(the one that usually greets you here at the shop)
He's fine, as are all the hens...
but I can tell you that the barnyard just won't be the same
without sweet big old Frank...

We'll ALL miss you Frank!!!!
