Three Chickens - Three Wishes

[Diana E. Backhouse]

On Friday, I bought three large chickens from a local farm shop.

On Saturday, I jointed the chickens for the freezer then made a large pan of soup from the carcasses.

I left it to cool overnight, then portioned it out for the freezer on Sunday.

The sun shone on Monday, so I spent much of the day gardening.

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, my daughters have interviews and meetings that could change their lives forever.

Three chickens, three wishbones - one wish for each of these pivotal days!

I said,"What a wonderful mom" aloud and then scrolled down to see Mike Handley's comment.  The mom is so grounded in her life and its cycles, quiet and focused.  How naturally she transfers her powers to her daughters, three wishbones, like seeds falling into a fresh furrow.

Thank you, Gita. Two down, one to go.

Ahhh, I wondered where the story was headed. Three wishbones: perfect.

[Diana E. Backhouse]

Thank you all. We are awaiting news.

@ Joey - I am not so superstitious as to have thought of it before buying the chickens. The idea only came to me as I was stripping the last bits of chicken off the bones. Today's wishbone snapped in many pieces, but my hubby and I both made the wish.

Good link, as I didn't expect it.

Good look to your daughters as well.

[Joey Delgado]

Nice ending. If having those wishbones was your intention from the beginning then this is a very heartwarming story. Really shows a mother's love for her children. Nice work, Diana. Hope you write more. I've missed your daily installments.

Unexpected turn in the story, linking the chickens and soup to luck and life. Well done!!

[Mike Handley]

What a wonderful mom!

Thank you, Angela.

Will wish for good things for all involved.
