The Seasons: A Poem

Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

Chicken plucker

This rooster attacked my brother and son one too many times so he was chosen to test out the Chicken plucker dad has been working on. Here is the rooster thinking about his life while hanging in one of the killing cones. These cones were built by my dad to help us butcher the chickens that much faster, cleaner, and more safely.


Here is the chicken plucker.


Dad soaking the rooster (after killing him) in hot water so the feathers will come out easily.
The video is next (CAUTION: Not for the squeemish)
