Chicken Run

I was planning on spending a nice day, just me, a book, and some music. Instead I came home from a big Thanksgiving meal to find one of our girls had flown the coop, again. Not too many nights ago Ladybug, Manchild and a neighbor scoured the yard in 33 degree temps in the pitch black looking for Little Red Hen. Well, she's did it again today except that it was just me.
I don't know if you've ever tried to catch a chicken, but it's not a one person job. I found her at the neighbors. She kept getting back in the brush. I have numerous scrapes on my arms to prove that she is a tricky little bird. I finally gave up and started walking out the gate when lo and behold here she comes. She actually followed me home. Dang if I had know it was going to be that easy...
Thankfully all the girls are in their coop, tucked in for the night. I'm think maybe chicken and dumplings sound good for tomorrows dinner, what do you think?
