With the holiday season upon us, home means different things to different people. For some, it is family gathering and reconnecting with loved ones. For others, it is being patient with family members who always knows how to push your buttons. Home really struck home with me this past Wednesday.

I'm sure it has happened to us all. Suddenly you see something that was right under your nose the whole time, and you say, “What? Glory be!” Glory be is an exclamation expressing surprise.

Well as promised, I will now share with you why I have learned to speak sheep. About a month ago, I looked out the window because I heard a ruckus. And what to my wondering eyes did I see?

This is the post I was originally planning on posting today, when the Henpecked post began flowing through me first. (Gotta take those teaching moments when they arise.) So please enjoy this one too!

That's right boys and girls, it's time for another tale from the ranch. This episode features chickens.
