Chinese New Year.
Year of the Rooster.
That`s a pretty red rooster! :-)
My Grandmother collected chickens and roosters. I have several of them sitting here and there. They always remind me of happy times spent with her whenever I look at them, especially when I clean them. She would always fill a sink full of sudsy water and it was my job to wash all the nicnacs. It was a fun job. She stood near to make sure I handled gently, and it was somethng I never tired of doing. We both would stand and dry them together, talking. Quality time....Together time, these are the times we all remember.
My Grandfather was a carpenter. He built homes. He also made lawn and patio furniture, even the wheels to the chaise lounges were made of wood. They looked like sliced logs. He made her all kinds of shelves and little tables. She must have had over 200 hens and roosters. Now that`s something to crow about! ;)
