Watch for the TinChicken

columbia, TN(Zone 7a)

I'm trying to renew that website, she is amazing, but has no confidence and does not promote herself. Also has issues with too much partying and I'm at my wits end with what to do with her. She is 26, lived with me for 4 years after college, and moved out for 6 months, moved back in with me and has a new boyfriend who I approve of, plumber going to police acadamy, and she stays with him 90% of the time, so it's not so bad, just wish I could get her to wake up and smell the coffee.

Its too dark to photo but It will be the last one.
51* now down from 60* yesterday.It will be warm all day and then we return to reality and 3 inches of snow.
Good thing about snow at this time of year, it doesnt stay long.

The "Tin Chicken" has become a symbol, a metaphor, for the exhaustion of winter conditions here on the Northeast Forum!

( I think in filmdom, they call it a "cult classic.")

I hope you keep all of us informed !!!!!

I am dreaming of a sequil of the "Chick in warm surroundings" and keep a summer scene going.

East Bridgewater, MA


I will be a "cult fan" of a version for the spring season !!!

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

he he

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

i think we should have chicken pics thought out the season

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

I have a May note to myself to start a new thread then. The background isnt really interesting until the garden next to the deckwalk is growing.
If it looks better earlier I will start the thread earlies OR continue this one.
The chicks only summer playmates are the cats, maybe another bird or squirrl but thats it.
Its a bleak and lonely exhistence out there. I might have to use props.

I am finding fall tulip 2009 plantings are up again. Last falls tulips are still sleeping.

Thomaston, CT

Everything here is still under several feet of snow & sleeping! Hurray for the chicken!

Southwest , NH(Zone 5b)

I'm very bonded to this chick and would suffer severe withdrawal if she were to disappear suddenly. This chick is indeed a symbol for all of us old hens that remember our days as chicks with some measure of fondness. After all, there were days and nights in a former life that I could have weathered the cold buried under a snow blanket, but alas, now I wimp out and fly the coop for Florida.

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

I never checked to see what the sex of the chick was.
Hmmmmm
I have a creepy confession: I keep bread and plastic bag ties. That chick kept falling over with the slightest breeze. I have "bread tied "its feet to the mesh table top.
It isnt ngoing anywhere.

East Bridgewater, MA


"Bread twisties" are good for a lot of things, like keeping rubber bands organized, keeping electric cords neat, etc.

Southwest , NH(Zone 5b)

Yeah, I never throw them away!

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

reclosing partial bags of frozen vedgtables.

Huron, OH(Zone 5b)

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

Ugh....that's what we're getting tomorrow.....3-6"......just when I thought it wasn't going to snow anymore....ha.....

Southwest , NH(Zone 5b)

Good luck with the next storm, everyone! Hopefully it won't last as long as the others!

South Hamilton, MA

TV says that the storm is 'fast moving'. I hope so!

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

East Bridgewater, MA


Why do I love the photos of that chicken?

Whimsy is underrated.

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

The chicken creates an aura of its own.
Its so bland one has to make up a life for it.

Nantucket, MA(Zone 7a)

Love the Chicken Cycle. Has it laid any eggs yet? Patti

Forecasting 4-8" of snow for us tonight into tomorrow, path I shoveled on the north side of the house Friday when it was 60 degrees here is now 2" thick with ice. I know I will appreciate spring so much more this year because of the winter we've had.

Thomaston, CT

Amen to that!

East Bridgewater, MA


Yep, the recent misery of winter ( or anything) makes spring smell sweeter.

Too bad that suffering enhances appreciation....I promise to the Universe, I would appreciate "joy" without the previous woes.

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

I guess now that we are all thoroughly grumpy, spring is just around the corner.

East Bridgewater, MA


'Bout time for Spring !!!

This has been a nasty winter for a lot of us.....and not just the weather, although that contributed.

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

Todays chick,it snowed last night
