Dad 225: Football and Chickens, Of Course!

(Leghorn. Foghorn Leghorn. Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! A cloudy, fall day is what we in the Northeast are experiencing. Still waiting for a good frost. Really want the growing season to end. All mowers are put away. The experts tell us we will have a frost the first of next month. Just in time to set the clocks back. (Don't forget!)

Well, Zack's football season is over. They played and lost in the Gold Ball game played in Portland Stadium. Final score: 48 - 30. His eighth grade team lost only two games this year. Both losses were to the champions. A great football year for Zack. Congratulations, Zack!

Josh's high school team lost their first four games. Then a turnaround. They won the next four to qualify for the playoffs. They will play Sanford this weekend in the quarterfinals. They lost to Sanford the first game of the season. Hope for a win and then to the semifinals against the top seed. Stay tuned.

In the last few days we have been visited by chickens. Our neighbors who live two homes away have a flock of chickens. They have been spending the last few days in our yard. (I will admit that we are now on our third bag of cracked corn. Spouse likes to feed "her "chickens.) The flock is really quite spectacular. They are all fine looking birds. There are five white, two brown, and two black. I believe the black are Plymouth Rock and the brown are Rhode Island Red. I don't recall the name of the white, but it rhymes with a cartoon chicken according to Lew. Spouse just entered and said she just fed them. They are eating! It is good that Spouse has some new friends!

Enough information to focus on for today. Sooo....

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!
