Was at the farm yday evening. The puppies (one with the tail and the other without) starting jumping and running around us- waiting to be petted.... which we did (dirty as they were.).
I noticed that one of them (tail less one) was looking woebegone and wondered whether he was ill. Turned out that he was. Damu mama (caretaker) said that he had fed coconut oil to the puppy and that had improved him a bit, but not enough.....and he was on his way out.. So that was that.
The eleven eggs that the hen was sitting on had hatched and so there were eleven chicken foraging around. Due to some reason, none of them had hair on their neck, so all of them looked around like small children with severe military haircuts !
Info: Hens without hair on their neck cannot be sacrificed to the Goddess and hence cannot be eaten ! Good for them I suppose.
In the last one month, we have had two sets of eggs hatching. I wonder what Damu mama plans to do with so many hens and roosters. I am not sure I would enjoy being on a chicken farm.
Info: Eggs do not hatch during the rainy season. So, rainy season is the correct time to eat eggs..
It was quite warm but as evening came on, it started to cool. We sat under the trees and watched the sunset. You see the trees gradually change color from green to golden to dark brown to silhouettes. When the breeze came, they swayed, displaying glimpses of their form before going back into themselves.
This was what Hokusai had painted.
