13: Scratch That
1. In America we call girls chicks. In the UK they are birds.
2. On Sunday we put the garden to bed.
3. We let the chickens in the garden to scratch, which led me to say, ‘they’re scratching the lottery for bugs.”
4. Some hit the jackpot.
5. Some were ready for a close-up.
6. I’ve been told that my handwriting is like chicken scratch.
7. Some people sleepwalk. Joe sleeptalks. He speaks whole sentences of nonsense when he’s drifting off to sleep and even answers my quesions but his answers make no sense.
8. One chicken found a make-do nest for laying in the wild.
9. A hen is often refered to as an old hen or a mother hen who henpecks.
10. The line-up.
11. Product placement.
12. This is the hen house where we put our hens to bed.
13. This is my grandson who likes to catch chickens.

The chickens are scratching and the garden is sleeping! It’s another season upon us!
I find it funny that we are chicks and the UK are birds!

What a cluck! We need to get our garden resettled for winter, too.
