PRETTY CHICKEN

This is my dad reciting a poem that his grandmother used to recite by heart. I'm testing how this works for me to suddenly choose to post it to my blog after seeing it. I really like how he's sitting in the rocking chair and ends up rocking back and forth as he gets into the reading. Also see in the background our mantel and fireplace in the house in Valley City, ND. The picture above the fireplace is one my parents have had for a long time. The smaller pictures underneath are of us, my Grandpa, etc. There's also a really cool small heavy bell that is on the mantel but can't be seen here. To the right of my dad's head is part of an Ederstrom painting of a grain elevator.
