A hundred times in the last week I have gone to sweep the bread crumbs out the back door and no one has been there to greet me.
No warble, no cackle, no pecking at the screen…
The eggs in my fridge are store bought.
They are not blue.
Many tears were shed by all of us as we loaded our girls…
The City Chicks…
The Hens Austen…
In the Suburban and drove them fifteen minutes down the road.
To the country.
Juliette keeps going to the back door too…
wanting to see her “ladies.”
We were rearing to fight. Ready to appeal. To give ’em hell.
Plans to invite the Mayor over for lunch.
Plans to give a coop tour.
Thoughts of retaliation.
Fantasies of kicking my neighbors door in! (Insert evil laughter!)
I thought about getting a legal potbellied pig (To see if my neighbors would like THAT smell!)
Then, I contemplated a GIANT sheep dog. (Not my style).
Then Joel and I sat down and considered the energy all of that would take for me.
All the emotional energy.
And we decided it’s time to follow thru on a dream instead.
Guess what?

There’s a for sale sign in my front yard.
How very exciting! Your dream come true. 🙂
ohmygoodness!!!! how freakin’ exciting for you! blessings all the way!
You rock! Congrats for holding back from kicking in the neighbors door. The vision of you doing so, made me LOL! Good luck with your house sale and Happy Weekend! Au Revoir ~ Chelle
the country–the place to raise kids!
I hope you can find a house as pretty as yours. If not I am sure you can turn it into one. Cheers to having all the damn chickens you want. Good luck to you!
Congratulations! How exciting for your family & if you find yourself searching for advice on all those farm animals taking over the farm stop on over! 😉
Perfect!
You will be the perfect fermière! (but with city chic and élégance)
Your children are the lucky ones. They will have a wonderful life – you all will!
Congratulations
Now that my dear is the best revenge of all!! Take down the chandeliers, roll up the rugs, and move on.
We can only hope that the next homeowners will forget to water the lawn as they will be too preoccupied with their knife throwing games, enjoying loud rap music with their numerous and noisy friends and family members gathered in the front yard. At which point the sniveling neighbors who thought chickens were bad will think “Oh dear if only that lovely, well mannered family still lived here, all they wanted were a few chickens. I wish these people would leave!”
But, alas, the pontiac is up on jack stands and the tires have been removed and sold for more beer. Sigh.
Wide open spaces and wide open living! We love the ladies in our neighborhood…I hope your neighbors learn to miss them…
Can’t wait to see where life takes you next!
Hugs~
Right on, Sister!! Go live the dream, you only live once, you need to be happy! Godspeed!
I agree!
People have nothing better to do but be annoying!
Must be all of the store food chemicals running through their veins!
Crazy I tell you! 🙂
I hate to think this but Karma is a booger and they may just get some awful new neighbors while you enjoy stretching your wings in your wide open new space!
Blessings on this new adventure!
I’m so excited for you! I pray that your house will sell quickly for an excellent price and that God will give you the house and land of your dreams. :0) What an awesome adventure this will be
WOW!!!
One chicken coop door closed and one giant farm door is opening….awesome!!!
I can’t wait to the pic’s of what lies ahead….
Be Blessed♥
I only wish that I had the Parisienne Farm Girl,her dear husband, and some of the sweetest faces that I’ve ever seen living next door to me.
I would also most likely wish that you would share some of your poop from the coop for our garden. Your neighbors have missed the boat!

I would gladly trade your chickens for some of the rude and nasty neighbors we have! I hope you find a lovely home and are able to have your chickens and enjoy fresh eggs again soon. I would love to have you and your family as a neighbor, along with your chickens!
I Hope your Dream Home has a huge backyard for
the children and lots of Land for chickens, dogs and
maybe even a horse , I am very excited for you and
your family, cannot wait to see . :>)

and bytheway, where are you moving? I plan on living vicariously through you as I’ve longed for a farm as well. If you come to Oregon you have a friend;)
You’ve been talking about this for a long time. I’m thrilled for you. Sending prayers the house sells and you find the farm of your dreams!
Congrats! So happy for you, best wishes for the house selling. I know what you mean about needing space, we have 1/2 acre, but could always use more 🙂
