Something about the rebirth of a Season

Fuzzy Wuzzy Chicks- Spring is Coming.

Rhode Islanders love their chickens and the RI Red is the state chicken. So it is not unusual to find some of my clients wanting to raise

3 day old fuzzy wuzzy Rhode Island chicks

chickens on their property…it is like the rebirth of life, like the season of spring. It is almost here so let us invite her in!

From the ordering of the baby chicks via over night mail they arrive, setting up the 95 degree heat lamp in a tupperware container to house them, understanding the variety of chicks they ordered (7 different chicks all of a different variety), holding these cute fuzzy, wuzzy chicks in the palm of your hand….

Well spring brings new life to this new home just bought by this young couple. So much to look forward to in their lives and their new chicks lives. I am so glad I could experience it with them. It is a great share in my life for the thoughtfulness they bring to my life too.

The chicken coop is on the deck ready to move to the side yard …it will be a month or more before the chicks grow feathers and can enjoy the outside spring weather…so sweet. It is all about the season, new beginnings and new life. Enjoy what is ahead of you in all you do. For me I like the RI real estate business- that's my baby chick that I nurture daily... Right now for my young clients it is about fuzzy, wuzzy chicks- spring is coming. Something about the rebirth of a season.

Picture is worth a Thousand Words in RI Living.

As the saying goes sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and I have to share this great sketch

RI Realtor in the Sparkly Red Shoes

picture that my New York friend Ellen Caruso created awhile ago. See I do coin myself the RI realtor in the sparkly red shoes…did that many years ago when I was coming up with a tag line for my business networking 30 second elevator speech.

Ellen sketches home ideas that she calls ‘Whale Tales‘ and uses that as part of her business plan. She did this one for me awhile ago with the ruby red shoes and ‘Glenda’s wand’ as part of her Whale Tales! I loved it and she just sent the picture to me to have as a keepsake.

Now it is up to me to incorporate this picture in a Rhode Island living postcard campaign for the thousand words that can be left out.

I will print it and frame it for my wall and desk and will treasure it always. It is amazing to have friends in real estate that share well and so creative…

So I share it with you today and hope you get a smile out of it…because just like Dorothy of Oz, I do believe that there is no place like home! Picture is Worth a Thousand Words in RI Living.
