The meaning of chinese characters on the bottom right, 友情, mean friendship.

For me, friendship is knowing my friend will always be there.

Whether it's to celebrate the seasons, or help with difficult and sad times,

… will always be there.


There were friends who were with me when it was hard.

It's hard to find someone who sincerely congratulates on a job well done;

Like the moment when the flowers are finally blooming and plants are bearing fruit.


Many people think that cats and dogs are the best companions,

but I have discovered that my chickens are my most loyal farm friends.

They entertain me and give me peace.


I always thought that chickens were not very smart, until I grew my own chickens.

One of the hens, Gabby, follows me and wants me to hold her whenever I check on them.

Gabby considers me as one of the flock, and makes me smile.

My chickens have been with me through many crazy times.

Gabby has been a great companion. I am hoping Gabby will always be there for me in good and bad times!
