Karen strutted into our lives like she owned the place, and in a way, she did. She had the sass, the stubbornness, and the pecking order politics down to a science. She’s the one who reminded us that even a chicken can have attitude.
But last week, we had to say goodbye to her. And while it hurts to lose her, there’s also something grounding about the reminder that every creature has its season. Karen’s season was full of clucks, head pecks, and the occasional drama that only she could stir up.
If Karen could leave us with a final word, I imagine it would be something like:
“Strut while you can, take the best dust bath, and don’t let anyone forget you were here.”
Life is short, whether you’re feathered or not. Karen taught us to live boldly, even if that sometimes means ruffling feathers along the way.
So here’s to you, Karen. You’ll always be part of the Yard2Yield flock. 🥹
