Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving sees us at my sister's in Laramie again. She has a handsome flock of four hens and two ducks. Sally and Spencer were very happy to feed them and both remembered with fondness our own hens in Leigh.

The Homeowners' Association where we now live prohibits poultry - heaven alone knows why - There is a level of gentrification to which they aspire I imagine. As I am on the HOA committee, perhaps I can persuade them of the error of their thinking. (This would probably work better if I kept my plot in immaculate condition - I don't.)

In any event, the birds were unaware that, as they were being fed here, a cousin was being readied to feed us for our Thanksgiving feast. How callous, but very tasty it was.
