Paha is a cornish cross hen who wasn’t intended to live beyond a few months at most before ending up in the freezer, and she will likely never lay a single egg in her lifetime. Only, she worked her way into our neighbor’s heart after needing a little extra care inside their house as a baby chick. She is their pet, but she lives in our chicken barn and eats organic feed.
Paha’s folks live in a place they’ve built on our place.
She is a fabulous knitter who helped establish our local yarn store several years back. he is a leatherworker who has volunteered many hours doing homeschooling projects with the boys this winter,
He hunts with c in the fall and helped him hike out of a snowstorm in the dark with an injured leg last fall.
We’ve been business partners with them.
He’s been employed by us in the cabinet shop.
We’ve survived to become neighbors and friends.
When C was in the hospital for weeks, we knew the garden, house, and animals were in good hands.
He has his own workspace within C’s cabinet shop.
We kept the home fires burning for them, literally, and cared for their cat while they were away a couple of weeks this winter, and they’ll do the same for us soon.
They happily care for all the animals when we need to get away.
We pick up things for eachother in town.
Last week, the guys spent the day together running errands.
I sent the boys over one evening recently to borrow that proverbial cup of sugar.
They are welcome to all the eggs they need.
Tomorrow we’ll have dinner together at their place.
The connections in our little neighborhood grow tighter as we all pull together to make it through.
And so, Paha has a permanent home in the coop, as long as she wants and her folks on our place, too.
We’ve been so lucky to have this. The comfort. The security. The easy exchange.
