The Funeral March.....down to the

Taking turns laying flowers on the grave......

The first day the kids were here to spend July 4th weekend with us, we had to attend to another " chicken funeral".  ( we are now down to just two girls)  We all got in a line and walked down to the cemetery, with sad funeral music playing on Michelle's phone.  It was hard digging the grave since it hadn't rained in awhile.  As Ryan ( the grave digger) dug, I poured water from the watering can to help soften up the ground.  We all walked down to the garden to pick some flowers from the cutting flower bed, to be put on her grave.  I said a few kind words about what a nice chicken she had been, giving us all her eggs and how she had a good life here at Brambly Pines.  She had a very nice deserving funeral.
