Stories Collected While Living in France

There was a rooster behind Lynn's house that each and every morning crowed around four thirty.
Four thirty!!!! In the middle of town. And there wasn't even a brocante to go to.
It is a very good thing that we left yesterday for Texas otherwise…. heads would roll.
CORY!!! I used to have those crazy chickens with the wonderful hats. Aren’t they cute?

For awhile, we had a peacock perched on top of our backyard workshop letting out its horrible shreek/caw (whatever that awful sound is) every morning at 3 a.m. I begged my husband (the great white hunter) to shoot him. But he would not do it. He finally relocated down the street somewhere. (The peacock, not my husband) NOTHING is pretty at 3 a.m.! Have fun in Texas!
That rooster is gorgeous!

See if you can quarantine him and bring him home to France, useful on a Sunday morning ! Jx
A very pretty rooster, but his head would roll for me too. 4:30 is just too early, doesn’t he know it is still dark.
Gorgeous Rooster! I want chickens so badly. Not a rooster, though! The Silkey chickens are just beautiful.
Wecome to TEXAS sugar!
I don’t like anything that wakes me up at 0’Dark-Thirty. Gorgeous rooster ~ but he looks too skinny to be worth putting in the pot. Maybe you could use the feathers on the hat you wear to the brocante.
When will you arrive at Round Top/Marburger {macBurger…lol}?? I can’t imagine YOU will find anything to buy…it all came from your fabulous French brocantes…lol!!
This makes me cluckle! Oh, I mean CHuckle!
Pot au feu, perhaps? Coq au vin?
There is one that lives next door that crows sometimes at 4:30 also!! WHY!!!! I thought they did this when the sunlight came out. He has woken me up several times!!!!
Y’all don’t know that the rooster is the symbol of France? Coccoricco!
Maybe you need my Grandmother’s Chicken soup recipe?
