Raised in the country and loving the freedom that comes with it, I keep my collection of roosters and chickens ever near as the reminder of the childhood I remember so vividly.

Today I live in the city, huge and crowded, door to door, and sometimes even elbow to elbow. Cars racing past and 24 hour stores prove that we are not taking time to "stop and smell the roses".

Oh what a joy to have my little bit of country in this city!!! It really gives me something to Crow about. Come crow with me!!!
