I received the following email from a member of our local Crop Circle.
I found your AWOL bantam hen and surprise surprise she was sitting on 6 eggs under the bottom of the slippery slide. She is a proud mother of 3 babies so far but is still sitting and your silky has started hatching but I am letting her go till she decides to hop off and let us have a peek. Feel free to pop around if your children would like a look. Thank you for the loan of your girls.
Well, while we went away to help a friend who lives on a remote station cum conservation area recover from an operation, we had our chickens looked after and now the 4 have become more. We cared for someone. Someone cared for us. In doing so, everyone benefited.
I think that counts as a fine example of community in action.

I broke my leg a month ago and am definitely on the receiving end of care at the moment. It’s not that easy when I would much prefer to be on the giving end of he bargain.

Sorry to hear of your leg, Margaret. The gift of giving is a wonderful thing, so maybe it is your turn to give that instead?! Thanks for popping in.
