Okay, it’s a mechanical chicken, but Barn-E still enjoyed his time.
I limited the chicken’s space by putting it in Barn-E’s toy box.
This second video shows Barn-E trying to pull the chicken through a hole in the box.
Now it’s time for everyone to do the chicken dance.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Reading Part 2 of Chapter One of Chicken Charlie’s Year.
Sledding can be fun, but not for Charlie this time.
Many of the stories of this novel had origins in my dad’s stories, but not this one.
My sister Karen was the one who slid down on her butt, being pulled by her tights that were caught on the sled runner. That day was Karen’s birthday. We were pulling sleds down the back road with our horses. I was riding Goldy with a rope leading to a sled. Our cousin was on her horse, pulling another sled. Poor Karen walked home through the fields, hiding her ripped pants with her coat.
Many real happenings were used in this novel. Names were changed to protect the innocent and to make a better story.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

In the first chapter of this novel, we find Charlie just after Christmas 1932. His new long johns play a pivotal part in this chapter.
Charlie and his friend, Wally are heading out to go sledding.
My next reading will include their sledding adventure.

There are toys in the corner of my living room for children. Barn-E raided the corner and came out with a large Lego block he loved.
It was difficult capturing his fun today because he moved so fast across the floor.
Barn-E is such a playful fellow.
I hope you enjoyed watching him today.
He’s currently sleeping. He had a trip to the vet this morning and received three shots. Now he’s up to speed.

One of the perks of writing a column is that some of my readers write letters to me. At Christmas time they send me cards.
Here’s a video showing off my collection this year.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your extra efforts to write me. I so appreciate every single one. Even though we may never have met, I consider each one of you my friend.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
