show me the path i should walk o lord, point out the road for me to follow. lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the god who saves me. all day long i put my hope in you. psalm 25:4-5

feathers and fur

a funny story....

yesterday when i was at home i heard a chicken squawking. this happens all the time here, but i could tell it was in the yard. so i went outside and sure enough there was out guard daniel chasing a chicken. the dog next door had chased it into our yard. i ran downstairs to join in the action. and here is the result....
this is the neighbors dog, the one that chased in the chicken.

and here is the chicken. clearly its my first time to hold one. ive tried to catch one before, but its really hard to catch a chicken. i was super excited.


when i got to school i was telling some of my kids what happened and showing them the pictures. griselda, one of my students asked me if we "banged" it. meaning did we kill it. she was telling me about when her and her aunty go to the market to buy a chicken and how when they get home they "bang" it. and she showed me how by banging a pencil hard on the table. hahahah i love it. i told her it wasn't ours, so we couldn't "bang" it, we had to let it go.


meet griselda and her little sister clarise. beautiful
