These are the hens that live at the farm at Ghost Ranch, but Ranch is full of many more flocks. It fun to see all the ways people create family. Through marriage and birth, or adoption and chosen family. Some flocks are just groups of people who have met at the Ranch for years and years to take a certain class, but the class becomes almost secondary to these reunions that have happened for the last couple of decades.
Aristotle was right when he said “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” The individuals are great, but the flocks amazing.
We missed being part of the “flock” this year.
I love this one. Stayed with my sister-in-law this summer and my kids LOVED chasing her chickens. I had a run-in with the Rooster though. This picture reminds me of our visit.
