Our favorite chicken appeared today! We haven't seen him for a week or so, and we figured he was out doing roadrunner things in the desert. But we were sitting out this morning, and here he came! We tried to explain to him that we didn't have any more hamburger, and that he needs to lunch on lizards while they're plentiful. We told him other people might not be understanding enough to feed him if he hangs around. We tried to explain where all those other tin boxes went with the suckers who provided food!
But he kept coming right up to us and clacking. He was trying to give us the opportunity to do the right thing, but when we didn't, he eventually took off. He kept looking back at us - pretty bad when a dang chicken can lay a guilt trip on me!
I told him to come back in the fall, as I'm sure he'll get more hamburger when we all return and the lizards diminish.
