"And They All Admired Her Spots"

Well, my visit with Ms. Chick went well for the most part.  We visited the Botanical Gardens and had a lovely day.  They next day we went to a local farm.  I thought she might enjoy meeting some new folks of her own kind, as she was feeling lonely after her travel companions left for Pennsylvania. But she experienced a strange reaction!  There was fowl play when the others all stood aside and exclaimed to each other "Look at those spots!"  "I wonder where she got them?"  "On Amazon do you think?".  Well, Ms. Chick felt as if she did not fit in, even though they were actually admiring her spots.  So we drove home, and she was pretty silent all the way.  But by the next morning, the day of her departure, she was back to her usual "sunny" self.   Safe journey, Miss Chick!

One Adventurous Chick!

The Traveling Chick and her friends came for a short visit this weekend. Ms. Chick had lots of photos from previous travels. Two of the most interesting were Moscow and Alaska. Alaska was a bit harrowing because she ran across a wolf and could really relate to Little Red Riding Hood. Moscow was beautiful and very cultural. Many buildings are painted with pastel colors so as to alleviate the dreariness of the long cold winters. We could use some of that here in NE Illinois.

Beware of wolves in..well, wolves clothing! 

Ms. Chick and friends will be traveling to Pennsylvania tomorrow. We had a relaxing visit and I took several pictures for painting this coming week.
