Three Good Happenings Meme: Day 4

Oh look I'm actually doing this two days in a row, I'M SO AWESOME, YEEEEAAAHHH~!!

THING ONE! Talked my darling dear friend Chris on the phone today, which I don't do nearly often enough. (She was one of my closest friends at college practically from day one.) It was her birthday on Saturday, which prompted a wee bit of phone tag, and we finally caught each other at a good time tonight. So that was nice.

THING TWO! There's this thing in Hawai‘i where we have chickens just sort of wandering around, wild, don't belong to anyone. Mostly they're moa, or Red Junglefowl, that the Hawaiians brought with them, but all kinda interbred with other domestic chicken breeds. Since we a) don't have a dog or a cat anymore, and b) we throw papaya skins around under our trees to encourage chickens to dig coqui frogs out of the leaf litter and eat them, hens and chickies like to come and hang out in our yard and forage where it's friendly and safe. ANYWAY, there's this one black silkie chicken that's been wandering around the last couple years or so, and she's got her second clutch of little half-silkie chicks, TINY BLACK PEEPING RIDICULOUS FLOOFBALLS AAAAAAAAAAAHHH they make me so happy. T__T

THING THREE! Forrest wanted to have a "found foods" dinner, so I'm sitting on a lawn chair in the dark, drinking a beer while he pokes at the grill. I brought a breadfruit, and he's got some oysters from his job at the aquaculture research facility and lobsters from his lobster dive and heart of palm that he brought back from his kayak camping trip up on the north coast last weekend and it's gonna be awesome, basically.

That's nice :)


Aww, any chance of you taking a photo of those?! They sounds so cute!


That sounds amazing. Even though I don't think I'd like oysters, or lobster :D Enjoy!

I'll continue to try! I don't always have my phone on me, and when I do...well, I just tried when I got home today and they were under my breadfruit tree, but Mama Hen is a good mama and gets nervous and won't let me close enough.

Oysters and lobsters, mmmmmm

Ugh, do you have a lot of coqui frogs near your house?

When I visited my nieces this summer they took me to look at the neighbor's chickens, and they were silkie chickens, and I was all RABBIT-CHICKEN WHAT IS THIS CUTE MADNESS?

Supper sounds tasty! Everyone keeps mentioning food that has made them happy, and it's killing me, my bread and stew won't be ready for another two hours... *looks at watch*
