Every flock has a leader, and ours is Pam, our sassy, big-hearted hen who believes the entire homestead exists solely for her entertainment.
The other morning, Pam vanished. One minute she was bossing around the younger chickens, the next she was gone. We searched the coop, peeked under the squash leaves, even checked if she’d hitched a ride in the garden cart (wouldn’t put it past her). No Pam.
All day long, she was nowhere to be found. The rest of the flock carried on, but without Pam’s watchful eye, they seemed a little… lost themselves.
Just when we started imagining all the wild adventures she might be having, exploring the neighbors’ gardens, hitchhiking to Casey’s, or secretly working on her résumé (Pam has big CEO energy), the sun began to sink. Out of the twilight, here comes Pam, strutting back like nothing happened.
And where did she decide to settle for the night? Right back at her favorite place in the whole world: the water tank. She hopped up, fluffed her feathers, and perched there like a queen reclaiming her throne.
It was such a funny little reminder. Sometimes, even when we wander far off the beaten path, whether in life, in business, or just in our own thoughts, we find ourselves drawn back to the places that ground us. Pam reminds me that no matter how wild the adventure, it’s okay to find comfort in the simple, familiar places that feel like home.
Because sometimes the most magical journey is the one that brings you full circle!
