I rarely see a rooster without remembering a story told to me about a rooster, Aunt Lillian and my brother Mark. Aunt Lillian had a rooster that was only too happy to demonstrate his ownership of the yard anytime he caught someone in his path. One morning it was "young Mark"s" misfortune to get too near him. That rooster must have really been a "chicken" picking on a little guy~! Mark loves to tell the story that when they sat down to dinner that night and he asked what they were having my Aunt Lillian grinned "we're having rooster.... ain't no rooster gonna hurt one of my kids". Justice of a true pioneer woman~!

you left out the part that I was only about 5 and carrying water from the well and didn't have a free hand to fend him off.
Aunt Lillian came out and "shoooed" him off when he was getting up in my face . . .
He was a tough ol' bird but the way she cooked him, he tasted pretty good... Mark
Thanks, Mark, the part I love the best is how she made us feel so special to her.
I actually like this painting, Nami ;)
Thanks Tori, what would I do without my first born grand daughter to keep me going. It's the word "actually" that has me LOL. I love you darlin'
Is this rooster still for sale. I would like it for my friend who has a house in Harbour Island Bahamas where roosters and chickens run free on this expensive piece of Bahamian real estate. The local bumper stickers read "take a rooster to Eleuthra" which is the next closest island to HI. Thx Bette
