I edited this picture a tad to make it sorta 80s looking just because I am a dork like that! After my birthday 2 of my roommates friends road tripping to Alaska came and spent two nights with us. So, we cooked dinner and talked about life and fixed our chicken cage... A fox (I think). broke into our little night pen where our chickadees sleep and ate one. Just like in Fantastic Mr. Fox. I have sooooo many emotions about the circle of life and living out in the woods and only having 2 chickens left! (We've had 10 altogether). I am sad and depressed and wouldn't want to have our chickies anything but free range, yet I love them so and it breaks my heart to loose another little bird life. It was Dumpling. The sweetest of our girls. The most friendly. Here I am givin my little lady a kiss...
I got these amazing shorts at Light Witch on etsy and this top is for sale at my shop! |
I miss her. But foxes have to eat too. And I am not a vegetarian... We don't kill our chickens for meat, they are for laying eggs... but there has been talk of trying to catch Mr. (or Mrs.) Fox and relocate it or something... but what if its a mama? What if it have baby puppy foxes or cubs or whatever they are. Fucking cute little things. Ugh. At least my little girl kitten, Galaxy is healthy and growing and smart. She's getting so big and beautiful!!!!
Also my boyfriends band, The Bank, which is super cool, played a show in Santa Cruz, so I got to go hang out and drink beer with a straw (why is that so weird?). And Dance!!!
Also, the next day we went into a little town called Felton, where they had an amazing thrift store where I got the awesomest (really) black burlesque/ square dance skirt. Outfit post pending. Also, in Felton we went to Henry Cowell's National Forest. And we went off the trail and into the woods. It was so beautiful and such a change of pace from the night before.
Anyways, the weather has been great the last couple days and I've been wearing dresses and going to the river (haven't gotten in yet! The water is snow melt and cooooolllld!). I am so excited about sun and all the great things and activities that comes with the weather! Jordan and I went running this morning and I made breakfast, eggs and banana waffles, we lounged for a bit and then went to get sandwiches and to meet friends at the river, then off to run a few errands at the bicycle shop getting Jordan's axel fixed and playing with the electric bikes and the bike shop dog whose first birthday was today! And I'm not going out tonight... I worky work early early! 6 am tomorrow morning, so doing laundry and going to bed is as exciting as this Friday night is gonna get! Hope everyone is as happy as me!!

i feel soooo bad i missed your birthday chelsea. i know i missed the party of the year with that one. anyway i am MORE glad that you are so happy lately. this sunshine is bringing out the best in everyone...seems like it is the prettiest spring EVER! maybe your birthday supermoon helped bring this about!
and good luck with your last two sweet chickens. it really is a weird and crazy natural world. i have always loved foxes too, and been really drawn to them, but they are predators so no matter what, they are going to be killing some cute little other animal for food. crazy how destruction begets life, pretty much every time.
