"I came all the way from Peru, and she put me on the back porch?" by louannwarren

"I came all the way from Peru, and she put me on the back porch?"

This Peruvian craft rooster was given to my brother in law 25 years ago, I kept my eye on him and when I saw that he had been relegated to a closet a few years ago, I convinced everyone he needed to come to my house, I am "the chicken lady" after all. He's been on display in my kitchen for a long time and I just moved him to the protected back porch, he's not in harm's way!
He would have come home with me too, he is so cute

I think he blends in very nicely there- and he's already made a friend too!

I love your title. Great find in your closet. I'm glad you brought him out into the light of day.

Not just any rooster, but the marvelously crafted ones scooped up on your travels (or visits to your brother-in-law!) Both of those are just fabulous! I'll watch for mere this summer, though folk art up there commands an exceedingly high price. I'm not about taking the photos, however!

@Weezilou Oh Louise you will love the fact that the fellow in the back is from Sausalito, at least 25 years ago!

@louannwarren I DID love to read that! I enjoyed Sausalito even more than SF, and if we were to go up there, that's where I'd want to stay! I like their "roosters", too!

He is a wonderful looking rooster. Good on you for rescuing it from the closet.

@henrir Kay Strawbridge brought him to Oscar from Peru oh so many years ago. I lobbied for him for years. Thrilled he is in my "rooster harem"!

Love this shot, I couldn't keep him in a closet. How you must like seeing him on your porch

I'm sure he is much happier being in the open than in a closed cupboard!

@nicolecampbell @olivetreeann Thank you! @beryl @onewing @kwind @taffy @littleconnie @louannwarren @happysnaps @gigiflower When I visited my family in Lubbock, it was always "oh he needs to stay here"....but I persevered and finally he's where he needs to be. Thank you for your great comments!
