please take umbrellas and snack trash with you as you leave

you're welcome, Stuart Little!



I put the small extra coop out in the front yard yesterday with a "FREE" sign. Today the chicken ladder, which was the part the "FREE" sign was taped to, was gone. But the coop was still there. This made me laugh. Who would want a 1 meter ladder, rustic, with chicken poop on it?

After I got done laughing, I remembered that I had taped a sign onto a big sheet of translucent glass (maybe a shower door?) leaning against a building in an alley a few blocks from me. It looked like it was being discarded, but I wasn't sure, so I went home and wrote "Is this free??" on a paper and went back and taped it to the glass. Maybe whoever took the chicken ladder has just returned home for a pencil to write "and how about the rest of it??" and tape it to the rest of it.

Somebody did come and get the coop a few days later, and left me a nice thank you note including a drawing of a chicken with a tiny head which looked a little like Abe Lincoln.
