Finding myself...

A beautiful day for a stroll through the park.

Jacket weather, light wind blowing on the prairie.

A little extra time to go the the second-hand store.


Feeling pretty comfortable in who I am, what I like.

I like these small teapots that come in the tea for one sets but don't like to have to commit to the heavy cups that come with them so this was a perfect buy.

I like bunnies...

But then, all of a sudden...
out of the blue...
I spot this

I stand there staring at it and thinking, now what in the world would I do with that? Ya, I am not a farm gal. I have seen a chicken at the fair before (and of course plucked and pre-packaged in the store) but would I ever reach for an egg? I think not.

and yet...

my hand reached out and took the fowl by the handles, I purchased the bird, and out we went to the car.

Most definitely a day for self-reflection. Just when you think you are really getting to know yourself you end up buying a wire fowl and asking yourself,

por que

(Spanish for but why)

and yet,

WHY NOT!!!

I have a wire chicken just like that but it's not painted. It's in my kitchen but I'm still trying to decide what to do with it.

I agree! Why not! I love the wire chicken and I would have had a hard time passing her up. Very cute on a buffet table with a napkin liner and cutlery.
