check out this sweet chicken!

So I got back to the stand around lunch today, and someone had given us this outstanding ceramic chicken. I was thrilled. It reminded me of one of my favorite thrift stores, Chicken Alley in Vineyard Haven. They have a permanent collection of chicken objects behind the register, figurines and potholders and such, and whenever I go in there it’s the things I want most that aren’t for sale.

I carried her around, this chicken, for like five minutes, trying to get everyone on the farm to agree upon how awesome she is. Suffice it to say they were slightly less enthused.

She’s going to stay down there and guard the produce. I think it’s perhaps a theft deterrent to have this ceramic chicken watching your every move. We’ll see.
