Farewell Dear Julia ~

Our dear Julia Child, Rhode Island Red, from our original flock of chickens died this week. As you may recall, our theme for names of our original flock was "authors" and my husband named her Julia Child, as he likes her books.... it seemed wrong, to me, to name a chicken after a famous chef, but Julia wore the name with almost as much personality as the original Julia Child. She was a darling chicken and such a sweet personality ~ one of our dear favorites. Here we are knitting together... well, I'm knitting and she's keeping track of the rows...

She was such a sweet little friend to have...


She laid the biggest eggs and was a very prolific egg layer too.

We will miss her terribly...
